TNVC and Envision Technology are proud to publicly unveil the new Envision Technology RAIL (Rail-Mounted Aiming / Illumination Laser) and RAILc (Rail-Mounted Aiming / Illumination Laser, Commercial) weapon-mounted NIR/VIS miniature aiming laser at the Envision Technology booth, #56108 and the TNVC booth, #62211 at the 2025 NSSF SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada!

The RAIL and RAILc share their DNA with the Envision MARS Miniature Advanced Rangefinder System (MARS), which was recently awarded a contract by USSOCOM for the Miniature Aiming Ranging Laser (MARL) program and has been developed and tested while integrating extensive feedback from end-users, resulting in a highly intuitive and ergonomic multi-function aiming laser (MFAL) system in an exceptionally small form factor, weighing under 6 ounces, including the onboard, laterally mounted CR123 battery, making it more resistant to recoil and weapon shock even when used on belt fed or heavy caliber weapons.

The RAIL and RAILc feature coaligned, output adjustable NIR and visible aiming lasers as well as an independently adjustable (elevation/wind/beam divergence/ output power) VCSEL NIR illumination laser and a wide-angle NIR LED illuminator for confined spaces or Close Quarters Battle (CQB) and is user configurable for VIS and CQB override modes and are available with either green and red visible aiming lasers as well as Class 3B (Restricted) and Class 3R (Commercial) output variants.

 

The RAIL and RAILc measure <3.7” x 2.4” x 1.4” (height above rail), about the size of a pack of Class A cigarettesand occupying a similar footprint to the USSOCOM LA-23 aiming laser.

Yet despite its small size, like the MARS, the RAIL and RAILc is once again a masterclass in human factors engineering, ergonomics, and “switchology” for weapon-mounted low-light enablers featuring control interfaces that are both large and distinct enough to be distinguished and activated in the dark by feel alone even while wearing gloves without creating snag points or protuberances from the main housing, adding to the overall rail space needed for effective control and manipulation. The RAIL’sswitchology is a testament to the insight possessed by Envision’s design, engineering, and leadership teams and gained from decades of designing and building world-class NIR aiming lights and lasers with direct end-user feedback.

Even the attachment for the RAIL’s optional three-button remote switch is smartly designed, featuring an environmentally sealed, flat attachment point rather than a “plug port” that is self-contained within the device footprint, creating a further “rail-estate” penalty for using remote device activation, and remote switches are available in 6”, 12”, and 20” lengths to provide maximum flexibility to end-users for a multitude of platforms and mounting configurations.

The RAIL and RAILc are in production now, and the RAILcClass 3R commercial variant and will available for pre-order at TNVC with deliveries estimated to begin in late-summer 2025 (MSRP $3,699). Class 3B variants are also available for order now to qualified parties, for more information, please visit our websites or contact govsales@tnvc.com or sales@envision-tek.com

Avon Protection Introduces New Tactical MITR-M1 Half Mask

Tuesday, January 21st, 2025

January 21st 2025, Cadillac, Michigan, USA: Avon Protection is pleased to introduce the newest addition to its portfolio of market-leading personal protective equipment, the MITR-M1 Half Mask, for Special Operations, military and first responder personnel operating in low- to mid-level threat environments. MITR-M1 is now available for pre-order.

MITR-M1 has been designed to fill a critical capability gap between lower protection/single-use masks and traditional full-face respirators. With a lightweight (0.55lbs/250g) and low-profile design, MITR-M1 can be carried in cargo pockets or gear pouches. It gives operators a low burden, ever-ready solution that can be quickly donned in tactical and fast-evolving situations where respiratory threats may be present.

The MITR-PF1 particle filter incorporates a low-profile, pleated element that provides 99.97% filtration efficiency against very fine dust, fumes, biological agents, and oil- and water-based mists. Further combination filters effective against riot control agents and TIC’s will be available later this year.

MITR-M1 has been developed as a tactical half mask solution to ensure user comfort and maintain optimised breathing efficiency during operations. It is manufactured from proven military pedigree materials; with a sleek flush-fitting, left/right configurable mounted filter with a curved profile that ensures compatibility with other tactical gear and maintains weapons sighting ability.

Steve Elwell, President of Avon Protection, said. “With the launch of MITR-M1, Avon Protection reinforces its position as the world leader in respiratory protection for users across the full law enforcement, military and first responder spectrum. In addition to our range of high-threat CBRN full-face respirators, we can now offer a much-needed tactical half mask solution for those needing always-ready protection in fast developing environments where seconds count.”

“MITR-M1 embodies the integration-led design ethos of our range of personal protective equipment, fitting seamlessly into existing tactical gear ensembles, allowing the wearer to get on with the mission with minimum distraction and get home safely.”

MITR-M1 is the first phase of a new tactical ensemble that will grow during 2025 to include innovative, adaptable head attachment variants. Initially launching with a head harness solution, later this year Avon Protection will launch a helmet clip solution that will enable users to attach the half mask to their helmet rail in seconds without the need to remove the helmet. This ensures the user’s head is always protected. The ensemble will be further complimented in late 2025 with the introduction of a power-sealed goggle apparatus to allow users to scale their protection as required.

The MITR-M1 Half Mask is on display at SHOT Show 2025 on booth #62307.

A Pack Worthy of Your Fanny

With its durable construction, spacious storage, versatile carrying options, easy accessibility, adjustable strap, and stylish design, this fanny pack is a practical and stylish addition to your gear collection, whether for everyday use, outdoor adventures, or tactical operations.

Raptor Fanny Pack offers low-profile compact transport for daily essentials. Streamlined single-pouch design holds smartphones, cards, keys, and medical aid components. Wears as a sling or around the waist.

The waistband is made of durable webbing that is 1.5″ wide. Additionally, outside of the pouch, we located some webbing straps for attaching carabiners, chemlights, etc. Up front, the pouch is made of elastic fabric, that likes to nicely stretch to carried objects. The back is laid out with 500D Cordura to prevent the pouch from unwanted abrasion.

The Fanny Pack features a sleek and modern design, combining functionality with aesthetics. It is available in various colors and patterns, allowing you to choose the option that suits your personal style or operational needs.

Coming Soon: The Folding Defensive Platform from Magpul x ZEV

Friday, January 17th, 2025

I know, I know, you’ve heard it before, but they really mean it this time guys. Magpul partnered with ZEV Technologies (now owned by SilencerCo) to bring the Folding Defensive Platform or FDP over the finish line.

First unveiled as the FMG-9 during SHOT Show 2008, it eventually became two separate firearms based on the same technology, the FDP (pistol) and FDC with the C for Carbine or SBR variant (requires ATF approval) after Magpul teamed with ZEV in 2021. Since then, we’ve had an annual update on the status around SHOT Show. However, I’m told the firearms are ready and sales should begin this quarter.


(FDP above and FDC below)

Although these are based on the Magpul design, they will only be available for sale from ZEV Technologies which shows a current price of $1699.

I must say, the images and video look like they’ve got it together. Hopefully, it’s really happening. I really want one.
