Crimson Trace Provides Laser Sights for Ruger Pistols

Friday, December 21st, 2018

(Wilsonville, OR)— Crimson Trace®, recognized as America’s top brand of laser sights in a nationwide survey by Southwick Associates, offers many laser sight and light products for installation on numerous models of Ruger® handguns. In addition to more than a dozen Lasergrips® laser sights that will fit onto Ruger 1911 pistols as replacement grips, Crimson Trace offers four Laserguard® laser sights for the popular Ruger LCP® pistols—the LG-497/G, DS-122 and LG-431—and several laser sights for the Ruger LC9®, LC9S® and LC380® pistols. The Laserguard laser sights for the Ruger LC series pistols include the LG-412 and LG-416G with green diode. Crimson Trace also provides the Laserguard LG-449 for Ruger’s SR9® and SR40c® pistols. Additionally, Crimson Trace markets the Lasergrips LG-415 with red diode and LG-415G with green laser diode as replacement grips for the Ruger LCR® and LCRx® compact revolvers.

Like all Crimson Trace laser sights, the green LG-416G and the red LG-416 Laserguard laser sights for Ruger’s LC9, LC9S and LC380 pistols can be easily adjusted for windage and elevation. Each side of this easy-to-install laser sight also has unique curves and built-in design features to match distinct segments of the pistol’s frame. A distinct CTC logo is prominent on each side of the laser sight’s front section. This laser sight is easy to maintain and an owner’s manual is included in the packaging and is also available free to download on the company’s website.

Like nearly all Crimson Trace Laserguard laser sights, these products feature the company’s award-winning and patented Instinctive ActivationTM firearm laser engagement technology, designed to activate the laser sight when the firearm is held with a normal firing grip and when the user is ready to fire.  Instinctive Activation, a common consumer demand, is one of the many reasons that Crimson Trace is a leader in the firearms laser sight market. The necessary installation screws, plus battery for operation, are included in the product packaging. This laser sight is covered under Crimson Trace’s popular Free Batteries for Life program.

Crimson Trace offers more than 350 laser sight and light products at 2,500+ dealers across America. The company’s products can be easily installed without requiring modification of the firearm —or special gunsmith skills.

SureFire Shipping NEW 1,000-Lumen X400U & X400UH

Tuesday, December 11th, 2018

Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the launch of the all-new 1,000 lumen X400U and X400UH models. These will be available in the both red and green laser versions for holster compatible and non-holster compatible lights. The SureFire X400U is the finest duty-grade handgun WeaponLight and laser combination available today. The X400U, features 1,000 lumens of stunning white light focused by a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens to produce a tight beam with extended reach and significant surround light for peripheral vision. Located below the primary light, the X400U’s 5-milliwatt laser sight emits a high-visibility beam, perfect for non-standard shooting positions and use in low-light scenarios. The laser’s aiming adjustment mechanism uses Nylok® screws that won’t back out from the effects of recoil, which means it rarely needs to be re-zeroed.  The X400U is activated via ambidextrous switching located at the rear of body, providing one-finger control — press the switch on either side for momentary-on activation, flip up or down for constant-on activation. Optional DG grip switches (for handguns) permit the X300U to be activated with one hand, without altering your grip on your weapon.

DSS Selects MAWL-DA with AA Battery Adapter as its Primary NIR Weapon Laser

Monday, October 29th, 2018

The United States Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) has formally approved the B.E. Meyers & Co. MAWL®-DA (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser – Direct Action)  for use as its primary weapon-mounted aiming and illumination laser. Initial bulk orders of the MAWL®-DA will provide DSS agents with a welcome advantage during low-light/no-light operations. Each MAWL® has been equipped with B.E. Meyers & Co.’s EndCap 2, and incorporates a brand new AA battery adapter for dual power options (AA or CR123 batteries).

As an inherently modular platform, the MAWL® allows for a host of future upgrades and modifications. Leveraging the flexibility of the system, B.E. Meyers & Co. developed the AA Battery Adapter for the EC2 (EndCap 2) to the address unique logistical challenges faced by DSS officers. This component simplifies supply chain hurdles in areas of operation where CR123 batteries are not readily available, and is fully compatible with all EC2 equipped MAWL® variants. The AA battery option maintains the same power output ratings that distinguish the MAWL® as the preferred choice for professional end-users.

Prior to choosing the MAWL® -DA, the DSS subjected it to rigorous field testing and end-user evaluation trials. Its overall performance, including its modularity, AA compatibility, and patented near infrared VCSEL technology, ensured the MAWL®-DA’s selection for DSS Special Agents working abroad under night vision.

The EC2 compatible AA Battery Adapter was designed specifically to meet DSS laser requirements and initial production is being focused on fulfilling current and future DSS orders. B.E. Meyers & Co. plans to make the AA Battery Adapter available through MAWL® distributors following the fulfillment of government contracts.

Gray Fox Strategic Inc -Nightcap

Monday, October 22nd, 2018

This is ingenious. Like many others, Gray Fox Strategic realized that the Surefire X300 Ultra won’t fit in the Safariland 6354DO holster due to its extra length. So, they decided to do something about it. Sure, many just cut a hole in the bottom of the holster, but the cap is there for a reason. It helps mitigate negligent light discharges, and protects the lens of the light.

Installation is a snap. Below, you can see the difference between the Gray Fox Strategic Nightcap and the original, which incorporates the star patterns.

What’s more, they offer multiple color options.
