Monday, June 7th, 2021

The recently redesigned EX Performance Tactical Light Forend is the ideal solution for every shotgun owner’s low light firearm needs and can easily be incorporated into training and home defense. 

Nampa, Idaho (June 2021) – Adaptive Tactical, LLC, manufacturers of innovative firearm stocks and accessories, announces that its EX Performance Tactical Light Forend has been recently redesigned and updated for 2021. Designed for reliability and built to perform, the EX Performance Tactical Light Forend is the ideal way to quickly and easily upgrade an existing or newly purchased Remington® or Mossberg® shotgun to become a more versatile home defense firearm. Full of features important for low light use, the EX Performance Tactical Light Forend is a tool that every shotgun owner should incorporate into their training and home defense.

The compact, powerful 300-lumen tactical flashlight seamlessly integrates into the forend body and provides a run time of up to three hours. Three levels of illumination (momentary on, constant on, or rapid strobe) are designed to offer wide, smooth beams ideal for close-range shotgun applications. Powered by two AA batteries (included), the Tactical Light has a tempered glass lens and aluminum bezel with a defense chamfer edge and is housed in a weatherproof, high-strength reinforced polymer housing with a patented quick-detach thumbscrew rail clamp. The removable light reveals a two-inch Picatinny rail for attaching other accessories. The rail may also be concealed under the included nose cap.

Designed for owner installation, the EX Performance Tactical Light Forend is compatible with the Remington 870 12GA and Mossberg 500 & 88, 590 series, and 590M 12GApump shotguns. The Mossberg Maverick 88 and other shotguns with integrated action bars require the purchase of a forend slide assembly from Mossberg or an online parts retailer. The EX Performance Tactical Light Forend is not compatible with any model of the Mossberg Shockwave. MSRP $129.99.

Rheinmetall Supplying Portuguese Army with 1,500 LM-LowProfile Laser Modules

Tuesday, May 25th, 2021

The Portuguese Army has awarded Rheinmetall an order for 1,500 LM-LowProfile laser modules. The contract, booked back in October 2020, calls for delivery of the devices in three lots. Delivery is to be complete by the third quarter of 2021. The order is worth a figure in the low single-digit million-euro range. In carrying out the order, Rheinmetall is cooperating closely with its local sales partner, NT Group Portugal.

Developed by Rheinmetall Soldier Electronics of Stockach, Germany, the minute LM-LowProfile laser module is designed for use on compact assault rifles, but it is also suitable for other small arms. The device, weighing around 160 grams and 85 mm long, can be attached to any standard assault rifle via a standard interface as defined by MIL-STD 1913/NATO STANAG 4694. Owing to its low height (25 mm), it can be used in combination with daylight optics. Nor does it interfere with the line of sight. Owing to the alignment of the laser along the running axis, the device lends itself particularly well to weapons without removeable mechanical sights (rear and front sights). Powered by a CR123 battery, the LM-LowProfile features visible and infrared target markers as well as a focusable infrared illuminator. All of the integrated lasers can be regulated in parallel by means of block adjustment. They can be remotely controlled via a trigger cable or by means of a single push button directly on the device. The LM-LowProfile is watertight at depths of up to 30 metres for up to two hours. Adding a tactical weapon light further enhances the laser module’s operational effectiveness. Rheinmetall has already supplied the Portuguese Army with a weapon light in an earlier order.

In comparative trials conducted by the Portuguese military, the device outshone its various rivals with regard both to ergonomics and performance. Moreover, the LM-LowProfile offers the added advantage of not being subject to America’s strict ITAR export regulations. Laser engraving can be used to individualize the devices.

Delivery is already underway. This is the third order from Portugal in the space of three years, underscoring the great trust the Portuguese military places in Rheinmetall’s soldier systems expertise.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – May 20, 2021 – Viridian Weapon Technologies is proud to announce new green and red E-Series™ laser sights for the new Taurus GX4™. Taurus’s new micro 9mm is purpose-built for every day carry, and the new E-Series lasers add to the GX4’s utilitarian design by cutting down time-to-target.

“Viridian has had a long relationship with Taurus, and we’re thrilled to add these new E-Series lasers to our line-up,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “The E-Series lasers, both red and green, are ideal for those who carry every day. The new GX4 is a solid concealed carry option and provides substantial capacity. With the added aiming assistance of the E-Series laser, the package becomes even more effective. Taurus understands self-defense, and Viridian’s E-Series lasers help take that personal protection to the next level.”

Viridian is one of the world’s largest independent providers of weapon-mounted technology. The company specializes in gun-specific lasers that add versatility. The E-Series green and red laser sights for the Taurus GX4 are the newest additions to Viridian’s line of dedicated Taurus lasers. The red E-Series laser excels in low-light scenarios. The green E-Series laser can be seen at up-to 100 yards in daylight and at over two miles in darkness.

E-Series laser sights mount to the trigger guard. The ambidextrous on/off button of the laser sight is positioned directly where the trigger finger falls during the draw. The lasers come with a 5-minute auto shut off to preserve battery life.
