Under the Authorized Partner agreement, TNVC will continue to be able to provide high quality VAS solutions for all customers and customer types, including some of the most advanced products like the BNVD-FUSED Enhanced Night Vision Goggle—Binocular, as well as commercial-focused products such as the ATPIAL-C commercial AN/PEQ-15 (originally introduced by TNVC in 2014), specialized solutions such as SuperGain (launched in 2022), and night vision systems utilizing L3Harris’ superlative high performance Unfilmed image intensifier technology, including systems such as the Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle (GPNVG), USSOCOM-issued AN/PVS-31A/B/C, BNVD-1531, launched commercially by TNVC in 2021, and others including some exciting new products as well as TNVC’s flagship TN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device. Moreover, TNVC will continue to act as an Authorized Spare & Repair Parts Distributor and maintenance and repair center for L3Harris products to provide an unparalleled level of service, support, and lifecycle management.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: Laserframe Pistol Double Magazine Pocket

Friday, September 26th, 2025

Light, tough, and brutally simple — the LaserFrame Pistol Double Magazine Pocket carries two double-stack pistol mags (most 9mm through .45 ACP) without getting in your way.

The low-profile flap with Hook/Loop locks magazines in place but rips open fast when you need a reload. Built with FirstSpear’s patented LaserFrame hemless construction, it shaves ounces while keeping the strength where it counts — no extra bulk, no weak spots.

Mount it on old-school PALS/MOLLE or snap it into the modern 6/12 Laser Fusion rigs with the rock-solid 6/9 attachment system that won’t sag or shift under stress. The pocket’s internal shape stabilizes rounds for consistent presentation so your hand finds them every time.

It sheds dirt and debris, keeps the loadout tight, and maintains a slick silhouette under armor or on a belt. Made in the USA and built for repeated hard use, it’s the kind of pocket you don’t think about until it fails — and it doesn’t.

Use it as a standalone pistol mag solution for discreet carry or lock it into a full LaserFrame kit for a surgical-grade setup. Minimal weight, maximum reliability — exactly what a frontline operator asks for.

Ultra-Compact, Multi-Fuel Flashlight with 185° Tilting Head, Mounting Options, and a User-Configurable LED Option

EAGLEVILLE, PA, August 26, 2025 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting, announced the launch of the Sidewinder Compact® III, an ultra compact, high-performance, multi-fuel flashlight with multiple LED sources. This light is engineered to meet a variety of hands-free task illumination requirements with various color LEDs that are operable at varying outputs and run times. With its 185-degree tilting head, durable build, gear and helmet mounting capabilities, the Sidewinder Compact III delivers powerful performance in a lightweight, highly versatile form.

The new Sidewinder Compact III features a user-configurable model with LED options that allows users to select two of three color LEDs (red, green or blue) in addition to standard white and infrared (IR) outputs. The military model includes white, red, blue and IR LEDs, while the aviation model contains white, green, red and IR LEDs. Each LED operates at multiple brightness levels, and includes a strobe mode. The light uses either one AA alkaline or one 3-volt CR123A lithium battery, offering flexible power options and extended run time in extreme environments.

“We engineered this light with versatility at its core,” said Michael F. Dineen, President of Streamlight. “It offers a powerful combination of compact design, high performance, and rugged reliability. Whether it’s mounted on a helmet, clipped to a vest, or used handheld, the Sidewinder Compact III is ready to perform.”

The light’s white LED provides up to 275 lumens and 3,200 candela on High with a beam distance of 113 meters. Run times range from 70+ hours on Low when using an AA battery, and 100+ hours when a CR123A battery is inserted. The light’s color and IR LEDs also offer long run times and are ideal for preserving night vision, signaling, or task-specific visibility needs.

The Sidewinder Compact III was designed with a compound On-Off mode selector switch that separates the On-Off, dimming, strobe and LED-selection functions. The rotary selector knob features a tactile IR indicator and pull-to-turn locking design that provides easy operation even with gloves, while also preventing accidental mode changes. The light also features an unbreakable polycarbonate lens with scratch-resistant coating.

The Sidewinder Compact III includes a durable belt/gear clip with integrated helmet mount features, which fits existing Sidewinder® helmet mounts adapters. A cord attachment hole on the clip supports up to 25 lbs. pounds of load.
