Rail-Ready Products from Crimson Trace

Friday, April 15th, 2016

(Wilsonville, OR)—Crimson Trace, America’s leader in making laser sights standard equipment on all self-defense firearms, offers a wide range of laser sight and lighting options for firearms equipped with rails. Handguns, especially many new models of concealed carry handguns, along with a growing number of long guns, come equipped with standard Weaver-style accessory rails, M1913 Picatinny rails, or molded-in rails. The Crimson Trace options to ride on those rails range from the small and powerful Rail Master® up to the Rail Master Pro™ and on to the Modular Vertical Foregrip® (MVF-515).

  
Crimson Trace’s Rail Masters are well known for being small, lightweight and easy to operate, and easy to secure onto the firearm’s rail. Packed with features, Rail Masters offer: Instant Activation, a 5-minute auto shut-off to conserve battery life because of inactivity, and either powerful green or red lasers. Nearly a half dozen Rail Master models are available, including one with a must-see coyote tan finish. Rail Masters can also be purchased pre-installed on some firearms, such as Browning’s .22 Buck Mark Black Label Carbon Fiber pistol.

Better news is that Rail Masters laser sights come packaged with four inserts as part of Crimson Trace’s Secure Lock Technology. This system permits placement in numerous locations on the rail to ensure the shooter has a best-fit for operation. This installation prevents slip offs that can occur with similar inexpensive models from other manufacturers. Three modes of operation with Rail Masters permits the user to select between: Constant-On, Momentary and Strobe laser. Crimson Trace’s CMR-206 Rail Master Universal green laser sight has an affordable Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price of only $229.

Crimson Trace’s offers another option for rails—the Rail Master Pro. These small and highly durable units combine the best of both worlds—laser and light. The CMR-204 (Green) and CMR-205 (Red) offer numerous operation modes: laser and light, laser only, light only and laser along with a disorienting strobe light. The red or green laser can be used along with the 100-Lumen LED white light, and this unit will automatically shut off after five minutes of inactivity.

For long guns with rails, such as the popular AR/MSR rifles, Crimson Trace offers the Modular Vertical Foregrip® with red and green laser versions available. These MVFs provide 200-Lumens of white LED light and can be cycled through three light modes, including strobe and constant on. For proper attachment, these units require at least four inches of accessory rail. Easy-to-operate side buttons simplify control and use.

Crimson Trace is widely recognized as the world’s leading brand of laser sight systems and tactical lights for firearms. All Crimson Trace products can be easily installed without requiring modification to the firearm—or special gunsmithing skills. The company offers more green laser sights for firearms than the rest of the firearms accessory industry combined. Full details on the 200-plus Crimson Trace products, and the Wilsonville, Oregon headquartered company, can be obtained by visiting www.crimsontrace.com or by calling 800-442-2406.

Marine South – Streamlight TLR-6

Monday, April 11th, 2016

Streamlight’s TLR-6 is designed specifically for use with subcompact semiauto pistols such as the Glock 26, 27, 33, 42, 43; M&P Shield 9 amd 40; Kimber Micro; SIG P238 and P938 as well as the wide variety of Kahr subcompact pistols. The way they do this is through a variety of housings that use the same light/laser module.  As you can see, the idea was to conform to these smaller frames as much as possible by connecting to the trigger guard.

The activation button of the 100 lumen pistol light is on either side of the TLR-6 and could be a reach for those with short fingers. To change modes from light to laser, you must push both buttons at once. However, the two 3v CR-1/3N lithium batteries provide one hour of dual 100 lumen light and laser mode. They can be swapped out without removing the light from the pistol. It is IPX4 water resistant to 1 meter.

Sunday, April 10th, 2016

When the Siege lantern first came out from Streamlight, I had a chance to try it out and it quickly became a must-have for camping trips. This year, they’ve introduced a new model called the Super Siege by upping the lumens to 1,100 and incorporating an 8800 mAh rechargeable lithium ion battery with USB ports for power in as well as out. You can charge the lamp or use it to power other devices such as cell phones.

 

There are five LEDs (one White and four Red). There are six output modes including Red SOS as well as a battery indicator. The Super Siege also incorporates a “Glare Guard” which can be used to shield up to half of the globe to direct light. There is also a watertight storage compartment in the base.

Available in Coyote or Yellow.
