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.

Announcing: Envision Technology MARS-M and MARS-Mc Mid-Range 905 nm Laser Range Finger, Available Now at TNVC!

Thursday, June 6th, 2024

Redlands, California—

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.

tnvc.com/shop/envision-technology-mars-mc-mid-range-lrf

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.

tnvc.com/shop/envision-technology-mars-mc-mid-range-lrf

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.

*Please see our website for additional Dept. of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR) guidelines and details.

Envision Technology was founded in 2019 in Manchester, New Hampshire on the principles of listening to the user’s needs, developing innovative products with an understanding of those needs, and focusing on a streamlined development and manufacturing philosophy and recognize that our success depends on the mission success of our customers.

Discover the SureFire XR1 Compact WeaponLight

Thursday, June 6th, 2024

Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce our most powerful compact rechargeable handgun weaponlight for concealed-carry users, the XR1.

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
