September 16, 2019 (Redmond, WA) – B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. is proud to announce the addition of MAWL®-X1, a United States Department of Defense specific variant of the company’s highly successful MAWL® (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser) line of high-powered aiming and illumination laser systems for individual and crew-served weapons.
In 2017 B.E. Meyers & Co. submitted a Flat Dark Earth, Near-Infrared / Visible MAWL® featuring the EC2 threaded Endcap to the Soldier Enhancement Program (SEP) via the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, known as the MAWL®-X1. Following submission, PdM-SPTD procured it for Limited User Evaluations, which were conducted by various Combat Arms including units within the 82nd Airborne Division, 173rd Airborne Brigade, and the 2nd Infantry Division, among others. Approximately 766 MAWL®-X1 units have been fielded since 2018.
True Modularity
The MAWL®-X1 is a truly modular design comprised of three separate Head, Body, and End-Cap components, which allows it to be sustainable at a supply chain level. As an ambidextrous system, it can easily be configured for either right or left-handed shooters.
The “Alt Mount” Body allows for increased versatility across multiple weapon platforms, including the M4/M16, M27, M249, M240G, and precision rifles.
Superior Ergonomics
As with all MAWL® variants, the MAWL®-X1 is designed for intuitive operation: in the dark, under stress, and with gloves on. Featuring a simple switch mechanism with finely balanced power and divergence presets, the MAWL®-X1 allows for target transitions from close to long range in under a second.
Unparalleled Range and Clarity
B.E. Meyers and Co.’s optimized VCSEL technology delivers vastly increased performance, beam quality, beam clarity, and efficiency to the end-user. The MAWL®-X1 features balanced and stacked beams to increase situational awareness and overcome photonic barriers created by external light sources.

On September 1, 1942, the first Seabee unit to serve in a combat area, the Sixth Naval Construction Battalion (SeaBees), arrives on Guadalcanal.
I am not going to tell the story as there is a movie (with John Wayne one of the seven he dies in) and I posting a link at the bottom of an excellent article about them. What I am going to say is SeaBees are some of the hardest working people you will ever find. I would rather have 1 SeaBee that 5 other people. They have made almost all the camps I have been in since the first gulf war in 91 thru Iraq in the 2000s and they never stop working on them to making them better. They build they fight; (they can’t read or write) (that was a joke) you tell them you need something, and they will find it or make it. Indeed some of the unsung heroes of the military.

HOUSTON, Sept. 12, 2019 – Comp-Tac®, manufacturer of concealed carry, competition holsters and accessories, recently released a new appendix inside-the-waistband, hybrid holster.
The eV2™ Max combines the highest quality materials and design features to provide a holster that is comfortable to carry and easy to hide. The two-layer leather backing provides a comfortable barrier between the firearm and the body during IWB wear. The aircraft-grade Kydex® shell provides superior fit for a smooth, fast draw and maintains its shape for easier and safer reholstering. The largest part of the eV2™ Max’s success is in the Comp-Tac® Kick, a polymer piece added to help situate the firearm in a way to hide the grip by pushing it toward the body for a sleek and slim profile.
“Comp-Tac® has always been known for their commitment to creating functional, comfortable and high-quality concealed carry holsters and equipment,” said Randi Rogers, director of brand management and 70 time world and national shooting champion. “The eV2™ Max is the next iteration in a long line of holsters purpose built and rigorously tested. Appendix carry continues to grow in popularity with all the new compact and subcompact firearms available on the market. We strive to provide the gear that our customers want and need, and the eV2 Max™ is another step in doing just that.”
The eV2™ Max
• Kydex® shell enables easy reholster
• Features two-ply leather backing for superior comfort
• Interchangeable Kydex® shells allow for carry of multiple guns with one holster
• Ride-height-adjustable clip maximizes master grip
• Comp-Tac® Kick keeps pistol grip tucked against body
• Retention screws allow for perfect holster retention adjustment
• Available in both right and left hand
• MSRP: $67.00

Apparently, Wilcox is seeing a lot of demand for their weapon grips, between the limited real estate on many carbines causing shooters to modify their grip and the desire to maintain control for barrel thumps and other maneuvers. The Para model is hinged to stow out of the way, it is made of aluminum, so it won’t break off. Attached to Picatinny rails.
The Stubby Para Grip is 4.0″ L x 1.5″ W and weighs 6.56 oz.
