Beamshot – Insider Multi-Function Laser Light System

Thursday, February 4th, 2016

Rather than just a single light device, Beamshot’s Imsider is actually a system, consisting of multiple, plug-and-play components which can be quickly configured. In fact, it offers a minimum of two, and up to four different aiming and illumination combinations.

The system incorporates a visible laser sight (Red or Green) with either an IR or White LED or even an IR laser sight or laser illuminator. Multifunction light modes give you the flexibility for momentary, constant on, strobe and dimmer operation ambidextrously. The base model offers an infrared or 500 Lumen LED light. Upgrades include a red or green visible laser sight, an IR laser sight, a laser illuminator as well as a camera module or thermal camera module.

The battery power supply is interestingly contained in the pistol grip. They’ve developed a push-button system to “fast reload” a battery pack. The pistol grip also features a built-in switch, allowing one hand to operate the rifle, laser and light while giving you a free hand for another task. You can also see the wire chase which conforms to the side of the receiver.

Although shown here on an AR, they are also developing a variant for the AK. Finally, the Insider MFLLS is certified to IP67 Waterproof standards.

Post SHOT Show Wrapup – CORE Survival’s PIM for Hel-Star 6

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016

Program Interface Module For Field Re-Programming of the HEL-STAR 6 & F2

The PIM-701 is a handheld, wireless device that allows military users to re-program the four functions of selected HEL-STAR 6 and F2 models in the field. The PIM itself is programmed through a USB connection to a Windows-based computer or laptop using software that is included with and downloaded from the PIM. Setting new functions in the PIM is handled through an easy to learn, image-oriented graphical user interface.

The PIM functions wirelessly through an infrared (IR) interface with the HEL-STAR over distances of a few feet. The PIM can either re-program any or all of the four factory-installed functions (the NEW PGM button), or to return the HEL-STAR to its original factory settings (the DEFAULT button). The HEL-STAR device provides visible or visible and vibratory confirmation of both program mode readiness and acceptance of the new program or default instructions. The PIM re-programming system provides various protocols and automatic time-outs to prevent inadvertent re-programming and
conserve battery capacity.

SHOT Show – SureFire

Thursday, January 21st, 2016

Originally employed in the Fury P2X, Intellibeam technology has now been added to several new models including the Scout Light. The new M600IB’s beam will autoadjust between a minimum of 200 and up to 600 lumens depending on the conditions which is based on the reflectivity of the target rather than ambient light conditions. However, no matter what, you can override intellibeam with a second push of the button. Also available with Intellibeam are the P3X and R-1 Lawman.

The new FirePak interfaces with the SureFire phone case, offering from 15 to 1500 lumens as well as back up power for your mobile device. The idea is to use it for shooting video. The FirePak is controlled via Bluetooth by an app on your mobile device.

The coolest SureFire story is the new 9mm Ryder Modular suppressor. It’s made from a Titanium tube with a stainless baffle stack and is 7.9″ long. It uses the standard or the metric piston with right hand thread.

When you remove the module, it shortens the suppressor by 2″ and it’s still at an ear safe level for most loads. They will soon release a spacer so you can mount it to a sub-caliber carbine (9 mm).

This is the Neptune, a speciality light that includes dimmable constant on and strobe. Additionally, it is divable to 150 feet.

They’ve made some simole improvements to the light that really improve functionality. For instance, they’ve added slits in the mounting points so it can be mounted to PALS webbing. Additionally, they now offer models with Red, White and IR lights as well as Blue, White and IR for the dive community.

You’ll also notice a Yellow model, recently introduced for the civilian market.

First Tactical Knives And Flashlights Now Available

Saturday, December 12th, 2015

I got a chance to check these knives and lights out during a recent media event in Phoenix. I really like the knives and they will be popular thanks to their features and price.

Here are some closer photos depicting features.

I didn’t get much time with the lights. It was broad daylight and we had lots to go over.

However, I have got to say that this integrated finger loop is impressive.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Introducing First Tactical Knives and Flashlights, Available Now At FirstTactical.com.

First Tactical’s knives exceed the needs of public safety professionals. Under stress, and when performance matters, you don’t have to look or feel for anything — First Tactical knives reliably perform.

The Diamondback Knife Tanto (pictured) is designed for better grip and control. First Tactical’s Thumb Bridge Technology optimizes the opening grip for maximized force, precision, and comfort while working with the blade choils for fine-detail cutting.

The Viper Knife Spear is the ideal compact utility knife for daily needs. The curved blade makes it ideal for the work that Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS professions require daily.

Watch | Stanislaus Sheriff Adam Christianson on StanCoPal + First Tactical

Throughout the month of December, First Tactical will donate 10% of all sales to the Stanislaus County Police Activities League. StanCoPal has been doing incredible work with the youth in our community and we are honored to help them with their cause.

We sent the First Tactical video team to meet with Stanislaus Sheriff Adam Christianson, who discussed the importance of groups like PAL and all they do for the community. Watch the full video here.

Being a Modesto-based company, staying active in the community is very important to First Tactical. The Costa Family’s efforts in the community are well documented. Their latest “Thanks-for-Giving” event was a huge success as multiple families in need were given a proper Thanksgiving dinner. Members of First Tactical, StanCoPal, Modesto P.D. and The Salvation Army fed nearly 800 dinners to people in need.
