Thursday, November 29th, 2012Grey Group Training Gives Us the Lowdown on a TangoDown Rail Mounted Front Sight Prototype
Wednesday, November 28th, 2012
Grey Group Training got the scoop on a new rail mounted front sight from TangoDown that is designed to accommodate top mounted lights such as the Inforce model seen in these photos. It will also accommodate the SureFire 300.
I run a top mounted X300 on one of my carbines but it has to sit in front of the fixed front sight on a Daniel Defense rail. I like having the light there with the high thumb grip but this would be better than my current setup as it would move the front sight even further out and increase the sight radius.

INFORCE Releases WML HSP – 200 Lumens – Momentary Only Activation
Wednesday, November 21st, 2012The INFORCE WML HSP was specced out by Haley Strategic Partners specifically for tactical low light applications. Running a white light with an upgraded 200 lumen lamp, it offers tight beam for close- to mid-range applications. The light also delivers a balanced peripheral light for discernment of the surrounding area.
One of the things I like about this version of the WML (other than the $109 price) is that it features a momentary only digital pressure pad. The ergonomic pressure pad is angled and it’s right there on the light so there are no wires or tape switches. Additionally, there are two distinct easy-to-operate lockout systems to avoid light accidental discharges. It’s a scant 3 ounces all told, including batteries which will offer 90 minutes of run time at 200 lumens. It also integrates its own mounting solution that is Mil Std 1913 compatible. Finally, the WML is waterproof to 66 feet.

AUSA – Princeton Tec
Friday, October 26th, 2012
As you can see the Princeton Tec Quad Tactical is well suited to any spec NVG mount. In this case, it’s the Wilcox Ind mount for the Team Wendy EXFIL bump helmet.
AUSA – SureFire
Wednesday, October 24th, 2012New from SureFire at AUSA is the EB1 Backup and Backup Tactical.
Both rely on the same body and head but different tail caps. The Tactical Model features a two stage button with the first stop at 5 lumens and the second stop at 200 lumens. The “clickie” model incorporates a shrouded tail cap and in addition to the two settings, you can “click” the desired power setting.
That’s right, you get 200 lumens from a single CR123A for 1.3 hours. At 5 lumens it works for 37 hours.
