Langdon Tactical Expands RDO Solution for Beretta 92 Pistols at NRAAM Indianapolis

Thursday, April 13th, 2023

(Indianapolis, IN) – Langdon Tactical is proud to announce the expansion of their standard-setting RDO mounting solution for the Beretta 92 to include nearly all Beretta 92 models built since 1982.

Previously, only 92 pistols with Vertec slides (Elite LTT, 92X, M9A3, etc) could be cut for the LTT Red Dot Optic (RDO) solution. The Gungineering team at LTT, led by Ernest Langdon, now has an RDO solution for the 92X Performance, Brigadier, 92FS, 92D, including Beretta’s newest additions, the M9A4, 92XI and other Beretta-production RDO models.

“After the introduction and subsequent success of our original 92 RDO solution in July 2020, we immediately realized this solution was needed for other 92 models” says Ernest Langdon, President of LTT “my team and I sharpened our pencils and got to work developing the LTT RDO solution for the wide variety of different 92 models on the market, for an optic cut as low or lower than most direct milled striker systems”

LTT’s RDO Solution is a true LOW RDO cut with a dot height above the center of the bore of just .85″ (when paired with a Trijicon RMR).

Introduced in 2020, the critically acclaimed (Garand Thumb, Sage Dynamics, 1911 Syndicate) LTT RDO solution has evolved to also include both the Beretta PX4 and the HK P30 series of pistols, also offered by Langdon.

In 2022, the LTT RDO cut for 92 pistols was approved by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department for duty use by individual officers, following an intensive testing and evaluation by the LASD training staff.

To see the full line up of pistols LTT is currently offering their Red Dot Optic cut visit our booth (5873) at the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis April 14th-16th 2023.

Smarter Technologies Highlight the Unique Capabilities of Their Orion IoT Data Network to Defence in Helping to Defeat Organised Crime

Thursday, April 13th, 2023

Smarter Technologies, the leading British provider of Internet-of-Things (IoT) solutions, recently concluded a successful capability assessment trial of their asset tracking systems with the MOD at HMNB Devonport, with follow-on demonstrations now also planned for HMNB Portsmouth and other military establishments. Their unique Orion IoT Data Network, and its associated tracking tags and sensors, is a persuasive capability, with a proven track record in other sectors: over the last 15 years, it has helped recover over £40 million of stolen assets (including cash), working directly with security firms and supporting regional police Serious Organised Crime Units.

Smarter Technologies’ high-value asset tracking capability has been honed with the expert advice and support of Mark Roche (Head of Global Risk at Smarter Technologies). Mark has over 20 years of direct experience and expertise in the organised crime world, both as a Covert Police Officer in Serious Crime Units, and from his dedicated high-value asset recovery role at Smarter Technologies. Using the Orion Network and specialist tracking devices, Smarter Technologies has a 95% recovery rate for high-value assets that have been suitably protected by their system, and the capability is in permanent use with many of the world’s leading security companies. Mark’s phenomenal national recovery rate, using Smarter Technologies’ Orion system, has been recognised with over 15 commendations from various regional Serious Organised Crime Units. His efforts have not only recovered the stolen goods, but the technology has also provided the necessary evidence to ensure arrests and convictions.

Smarter Technologies’ high-value asset tracking capability is multi-functional and uses the unique Orion IoT data network technology, which has far greater range, penetration, sample rate, power efficiency and security than rival systems. The Orion IoT data network is a low power, ultra-narrow band 433 MHz UHF radio system that can penetrate concrete ammunition bunkers, large fuel installations and even underground facilities, without affecting munitions, radio systems or sensitive equipment, so is highly suitable for use at naval dockyards, air bases and other military establishments. Its unique properties help to defeat organised crime, but they also make the Orion network enormously versatile for a range of other tasks such as routine asset tracking, smart metering or remote monitoring across large military estates and dispersed building complexes. The signal is all-but guaranteed and it is rarely affected by dead-spots or range limitations that cause other systems to fail. Its specifications and technical operation are consistent across all regions of the world and it is unaffected by the European channel availability constraints that limit the performance of rival technologies. It is simple, scalable, easily configured and can be deployed rapidly and globally, making it particularly suitable for use in Defence.

Matt Walker, Product Manager for Orion at Smarter Technologies, said, “This incredible track record of stolen asset-recovery showcases the asset-tracking effectiveness of our unique Orion IoT Data Network. We recently reported on the success of the MOD Devonport trial, which applied Orion’s impressive capabilities to meet the requirements of the Future Maritime Support Programme, and we will shortly announce further demonstrations at other MOD establishments.” He added, “Many thanks to Mark and the team for all their hard work and superior skill in helping to defeat organised crime.”

Bushnell’s KC Eusebio Sweeps U.S. Steel Nationals with New RXM-300 Reflex Sight

Thursday, April 13th, 2023

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – April 12, 2023 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, congratulates pro shooter KC Eusebio for his recent win at the U.S. Steel Nationals, which took place in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Eusebio took first place in the Open Division and First Overall using the new Bushnell RXM-300 Reflex Sight.

Eusebio, who worked with Bushnell on the design of the RXM-300, was successful in winning his first major match of the year using the new reflex sight. With its extra-large lens, multiple intensity adjustments and robust housing, the RXM-300 is perfectly suited for the fast-paced style of the steel shooting competition.

“Being able to win a national championship so early in the year is a fantastic feeling,” Eusebio said. “Add to it, winning for the first time with the new Bushnell red dot makes this title even better.”

Introduced earlier this year, the RXM-300 is a versatile, large lens, 4 MOA red dot with optimized hood geometry for faster target acquisition and shot follow-up without sacrificing durability. That not only makes it the perfect competition sight for pro shooters like Eusebio, but also makes it a great option for carry, home defense and hunting.

“The RXM-300 did its job and performed at the highest level,” added Eusebio. “I’m so very proud of this new dot that I can’t stop sharing it with anyone who shoots or competes. By far, my favorite features are the unbelievable field of view it offers, the 12 brightness settings and the incredibly durable housing.”

Savage will also receive the hardware for its 2023 Shotgun of the Year from Shooting Illustrated when the Renegauge Security is recognized at the event. Both awards and the firearms that earned them show Savage’s dedication to expanding to new categories with products customers want—and that still perform at the highest levels.

 

Attendees are encouraged to carve out time at the busy show to stop by Savage’s booth. With several proven and popular models there to see first-hand, it’s a can’t miss.
