Viridian Introduces World’s First Hand Stop Laser

Monday, August 3rd, 2020

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – August 1, 2020 – After six decades, the AR-15 is still America’s rifle. The platform’s popularity stems from its speed and ergonomics. Now the venerable rifle design is poised to be even faster and easier to control thanks to Viridian Weapon Technologies’ HS1™, the first and only hand stop with an integrated laser sighting device.

“The HS1 combines the functionality of an AR hand stop with the rapid target acquisition provided by a Viridian green laser,” said Brian Hedeen, President and CEO at Viridian. “The combination makes for a much more ergonomic rifle and cuts down on the attachments that add bulk to a gun’s foregrip.”

Viridian’s new hand stop offers increased control and faster target acquisition with a highly visible green laser that’s intuitively activated by the grip of the shooter’s support hand.

The HS1 uses M-Lok mounts to make installation easy. The laser is adjustable for windage and elevation. The HS1’s pressure pad activates the laser with a variety of support-hand grips, adding an added element of control and speeding up time to target.

This combination of speed and control makes the HS1 an ideal addition to any AR. MSRP for the Viridian HS1 is $179.

Features:
• M-Lok Mounts
• Pressure Pad Activation
• Daytime-visible Green Laser
• Ergonomic Design for Pistols and Rifles
• Single 1/3n battery
• Adjustable for Windage and Elevation

Thyrm Introduces the SwitchBack DF

Friday, July 24th, 2020

Designed for SureFire DFT Dual Fuel Flashlights

Sunnyvale, CA — The Thyrm® SwitchBack® turns your compact flashlight into a flexible, tactical tool. Since introduced in 2014, it has become the flashlight accessory of choice, providing a ring to facilitate retention, deployment, and other manipulation during searching and shooting.

The original SwitchBack was designed to fit the majority of SureFire handheld lights like the G2, 6P, P2. Unfortunately, the SwitchBack did not fit the new DFT (Dual Fuel Tactical) light. SwitchBack fans were outspoken in their desire for a DFT model and Thyrm has answered with the new SwitchBack DF. Features include:

• A finger ring that releases under heavy force/torque, but can be reset
• A MOLLE/PALS-compatible clip that allows for deep pocket carry
• A wide thumb rest with traction features
• Small crush ribs on the lip that create a custom fit

“Demand for this product has been high. Through our extensive R&D process, we’ve developed a SwitchBack that checks all the boxes” said Andrew Frazier, CEO. “As with our other gear, we are proud to design and manufacture the SwitchBack DF in the USA.”

The SwitchBack DF is in stock and available for purchase at Thyrm.com and at authorized dealers.
