VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – June 30, 2021 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has partnered with Streamlight® to deliver two tactical weapon lights, the TLR1-HL® and TLR-7A Flex®. Already popular among shooters, both Streamlight models are designed to fit several Blackhawk holsters, most notably the Blackhawk T-Series. In addition, the TLR1-HL is compatible with the Blackhawk Omnivore holster.
With 1,000 lumens and a 928-foot beam at the ready, the TLR1-HL is designed to provide maximum visibility when illuminating a room, alley or other wide space. Meanwhile, the TLR-7A features 500 lumens and a 459-foot beam, but also comes with an ergonomic, ambidextrous on/off switch that can be customized for either a low or high position to match a user’s grip style.
Both lights feature a rail clamp system that securely attaches the light without tools and without a user needing to put their hands in front of the muzzle. The TLR1-HL mounts directly on Glock-style and Picatinny rails, and includes keys for Glock-style, Picatinny, Beretta 90-Two, S&W 99, S&W TSW and SIG P320 setups.
Each Streamlight is designed to withstand the tests of time and field use with anodized machined aluminum and IPX7 waterproof ratings. The TLR1-HL can run up to 1.5 hours on two CR123A lithium batteries and the TLR-7A can run up to 1.5 hours on one CR123A lithium battery. A safe off feature also prevents accidental activation and saves battery life.
The lights feature a black finish and engraved Blackhawk logo, are assembled in the U.S., and feature Streamlight’s limited lifetime warranty. MSRP for the TLR1-HL is $209.95 and MSRP for the TLR-7A is $174.95.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – June 22, 2021 – Viridian Weapon Technologies is showcasing the FACT Duty® Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC®) at the annual National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) Conference and Exposition in Phoenix, Arizona from June 22-24, 2021. The conference will give law enforcement personnel an opportunity to see the capabilities of Viridian’s Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC). Attendees are encouraged to visit Viridian at booth #922 on the main aisle to learn more.
“This is our fourth year at the NSA conference and we’re proud to have the opportunity to showcase the growing track-record of our Weapon-Mounted Camera,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “The WMC automatically captures footage from the end of an officer’s firearm from the moment it comes out of the holster, and this additional footage has proven to be an essential evidentiary tool for understanding use of force events.”
The Viridian WMC
The highly advanced FACT Duty WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. This distinctive weapon-mounted camera provides a clear view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment. Body and dash cameras were not designed to capture officer-involved shootings. However, Viridian WMCs were designed specifically for this purpose.
The Everglow Light Tube is an inflatable light offering up to 270 lumens of white LED illumination.
Offered in Regular, Large and Extra Large versions. The larger two models incorprate a dimmer switch and magnetic attachment points.
The light is powered via your preferred power bank via a USB-C cable.

Safran Optics 1 recently celebrated a milestone. They have delivered the 4,000th Laser Target Locator Module (LTLM) II to the US Army.
For more than a decade, LTLM has served the US Army as a laser targeting system to help dismounted Soldiers identify targets day and night in all battlefield and climate conditions. Initially, Optics 1 provided direct view optic and laser rangefinder components for BAE Systems’ device, but as it matured and transitioned to LTLM II, Optics 1 became the prime contractor winning a five-year IDIQ contract in 2016.
Based in New Hampshire, Optics 1 leverages an international supply chain with two other companies, Safran Electronics and Defense and Safran Vectronix. Camera cores and SOM boards originate in France and are shipped to Switzerland for initial assembly. Optics 1 then builds the final device to US Army specifications here in the US.
Optics 1 President and CEO, Joe Bogosian shared, “when talking about the 4,000th LTLM II, we must start with the end goal, and that is Optics 1’s support for the US Soldier in successfully conducting their mission and returning safely.”
They have consistently met the Army’s contractual needs for on-time and high-quality deliveries.
In fact, it’s involvement in this very program that allowed Optics 1 to grow their workforce and expand into other programs like the US Special Operations Command Enhanced Clip-on Thermal and SWIR Imager (ECOTI/ECOSI) programs, the Integrated Compact Ultralight Gun-mounted Rangefinder (ICUGR) for the US Marine Corps Squad Range Finder program, and the ECOTI for the USMC Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle.
But they don’t sit on their laurels. During a recent visit I was shown a few new systems which will be released soon.
