Introducing the universal shoulder strap. It offers end users and teams a myriad of options — it bridges the gap between running a shoulder on all of the platforms. Easily transition or fit a universal shoulder on a Strandhogg, Siege R or AAC. One size shoulder strap would suffice to fit all your sizes. You are able to size up or size down as needed.
The Universal Shoulder Straps come as a pair.
The Universal Shoulder Strap Kit comes as a pair of straps and then a pair of 2-inch female split bar Tubes with a heat shrink pulls.
Please note if you are buying this to swap out a SIEGE R Shoulder, you will need the KIT. End users can cut at bar tacks along the shoulder to shrink down the sizing. Those that buy the kit can also run a FirstSpear ECP on the shoulder as well.
Always innovating, FirstSpear has improved upon this critical comfort item, introducing the Tri-Fold Shoulder Pad. Taking into account field feedback and utilizing new, advanced materials, this load carriage support item has been redesigned to enhance functionality and comfort. The lower tri-fold flap provides cable and tube management with greater security. It also allows end users to purchase a 2-inch female split bar Tube to integrate M.A.S.S. Biceps.
The Little Laser Making a Big Splash: Despite only being founded in 2019, Envision Technology is making huge waves among its end users with the family of Miniature Advanced Rangefinder Systems (MARS) because of its small form factor and well thought-out and intuitive design, though that should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the team behind it, and TNVC is proud to be partnered with Envision Technology for the launch of the newest addition to the MARS Family: The MARS Mid-Range (MARS-M) and MARS Mid-Range Commercial (MARS-Mc).
The MARS Mid-Range (MARS-M) and MARS Mid-Range Commercial (MARS-Mc) utilizes a 905nm LRF with a slightly reduced, but still impressive effective range of >700m on 30% reflective man-size targets or >1,000m on 30% NATO targets, hence the “Mid-Range” nomenclature as opposed to the >1500m to a man-size target with the 1550nm LRF used in the MARS/c and MARS-L/c, which are optimized for extreme long range. However, by utilizing the 905nm mid-range LRF, Envision has not only been able to drastically reduce the price of the MARS-M/c, which retail for $6,800, but also ensured the MARS-M/c falls under EAR Cat 7A611 rather than ITAR for export customers.*
Similar to the full-featured MARS and MARS Light, the MARS Mid-Range is a fully ruggedized, duty-ready device, and is not only built to the same quality standards as the MARS and MARS-L, but utilizes many of the same hardware components.
The MARS-M/c uses the same compact, low-snag system housing and form factor design as the MARS-L, with a fully operational weight of roughly 7 ounces with a CR123 battery installed (not including remote switch) and is approximately the same size as the current USSOCOM-issued LA-5/PEQ multi-function aiming laser, which does not include a rangefinder.
Again, like the MARS and MARS-L, the MARS-M and Mc have the same integrated Applied Ballistics solver, Bluetooth interface capability to external devices and displays, haptic feedback, and three-button remote that connects with an AN/PAS-29B ECOTI-style 7-Pin locking connector interface that replicates the onboard functionality without forcing the user to reach up to the device, allowing them to maintain both optimal device and hand positioning without compromising functionality.
The MARS Mid-Range is available in both a Class 3B variant (MARS-M), available to DoD, Federal, State, and Local government and law enforcement agencies, as well as a Class 3R “Commercial” (MARS-Mc) variant with no restrictions to domestic consumers, with the ONLY difference being the output power of the visible red 640nm boresighting laser (MARS-M: 38mW / MARS-Mc: 3.0 mW). Both the MARS-M and MARS-Mc include a nearly-identical feature set and menu structure to those familiar with the MARS/c or MARS-L/c.
The Envision Technology MARS-Mc (MARS Mid-Range, Commercial) is now in stock at TNVC and available for purchase.
The Class 3B MARS, MARS-L and MARS-M are also available for order now by qualified military or law enforcement customers by calling or e-mailing TNVC.

The XR1 is a compact, rechargeable handgun light that boasts an impressive 800 lumens and 15,000 candela. The XR1 is activated with intuitive ambidextrous switches that allow for both momentary-on or constant-on activation. This concealable weaponlight operates on a quick-detach battery, enabling the operator to swap out the power source without removing the light from the host weapon.
The XR1 is designed for a concealable mid-size handgun with its ultra-lightweight, extremely compact, low-profile design. Its new rail mount features four points of contact to ensure an added measure of redundancy and security when mounted to a weapon. The dual recoil-proof LEDs result in a Hybrid beam pattern with significant reach downrange as well as ample spill light, so you can positively ID targets at distance while maintaining situational awareness.
XR1-A Features:
• Dual LEDs deliver 800 lumens of intense white light and 15,000 candela shaped in to a Hybrid beam pattern; ideal for positive target identification at short- to medium-range distances, delivering a bright central beam and ample spill light
• Compact form factor is ideal for concealment, adding no additional width or length to most mid-sized concealable handguns.
• SureFire’s intuitive and ambidextrous switching provides momentary-on or constant-on activation for virtually foolproof, stress-free instant activation
• Quick-detach, rechargeable lithium polymer battery provides fast and easy battery swaps without removing the XR1 from the host firearm, ideal for prolonged low light training sessions
• Battery-mounted fuel gauge allows convenient monitoring of charge status; it minimizes your chances of being caught with a dead battery
• Included charging cradle features two charging bays so you can keep charged spare batteries readily at hand

The company’s support helps to underwrite ongoing programs and activities for survivors of fallen officers. Streamlight’s 2024 contribution as a C.O.P.S. Guardian Sponsor totaled $146,000, including proceeds from recent sales of its ‘blue’ C.O.P.S. logoed products.
Streamlight supports C.O.P.S. by sponsoring multiple programs and svents throughout the year, culminating in this year’s National Police Weekend activities in Washington, D.C. where the company was the Presenting Sponsor at the 40th Anniversary Formal Celebration Gala on May 14. The company also is a sponsor of Law Enforcement United (L.E.U.), which helps to raise money for C.O.P.S. through Streamlight programs like “The Road to Hope” memorial bicycle ride. This year, L.E.U. is celebrating its 15th year in supporting the fallen and survivors.
“We are extremely proud to serve as a Guardian Sponsor of C.O.P.S. as it marks 40 years of supporting those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “As a leading provider of lighting equipment for first responders, we remain steadfast in our commitment to not only provide tools to keep police safe, but also to assist C.O.P.S. in the important work it does for law enforcement. It is our honor to have served this fine organization for all these years.”
As part of its annual contribution, Streamlight earmarks $1.00 from the sale of each Blue Nano Light® for C.O.P.S. The keychain flashlight boasts a super bright white LED and a double-sided FOB that features the C.O.P.S. logo on one side and Streamlight’s logo on the other side. Streamlight also donates $2.00 from the sale of each Blue Siege® AA lantern, featuring one white and two blue LEDs, and the C.O.P.S. logo on its globe.
Today, more than 50 C.O.P.S. chapters nationwide provide resources to some 50,000 survivors, including immediate and extended families and co-workers of officers who have died in the line of duty.
