Maneuver Conference – Inforce
Tuesday, September 18th, 2012SureFire WristLight
Sunday, September 16th, 2012SureFire has released some additional info on the model 2211 WristLight that we first mentioned during SHOT Show.
It’s a very specialized piece of kit and I just don’t see everyone using one of these. Some folks are going to love it, particularly those that can’t use mounted weapon lights. However, the activation won’t be nearly as convenient as a weapon mounted light.
As you can see, it will be charged via a USB port at the rear of the light. You’ll also see that the light is angled. This is so it will shine forward when you are holding a weapon and not reflect back at you off of the back of the hand.
It’s a very cool capability but I have a feeling that it’s going to find it’s real niche in a different application than paired with a pistol. What that is, at this point I don’t know, but once they’re out there users will come up with all kinds of applications.

Exclusive Offer on LED Lenser Lights for SSD Readers from Extreme Outfitters
Thursday, September 13th, 2012Extreme Outfitters is now a stocking dealer for LED Lenser’s line of high performance lighting solutions.
In 1993, the bank refused to grant LED Lenser’s creators a business loan and they had no real estate to offer as collateral. All they had were fresh ideas and the prototype of the first LED Lenser V8 flashlight. For the gentlemen at the bank, who told them that the V8 was unsellable, that just wasn’t enough. So In 1994, with 1,000 DM, a sketch book, toolbox and old Atari computer, twin brothers Rainer and Harald Opolka struck out on their own and founded LED Lenser, in their garage, in Germany. With all the passion and courage of two young, newly-minted entrepreneurs, they managed without the bank and to their own surprise ended up selling more than 200 million Euros’ worth of LED flashlights in the first five years. The V8 became an international design classic and one of the the top-selling LED flashlights in the world. Now as they like to say, “We are our own bank.” As if to remind anyone of this who might happen by, today a lone, and tattered, pirate flag waves over their Solingen headquarters.
Fast forward 17 years, hundreds of patents and design awards later, and LED Lenser a company of more than 1000 employees, three manufacturing bases and a range of some of the world’s highest-quality LED flashlights. And today, just as in the beginning, they remain driven by light: the emission, channeling and powering of light.
Until the end of September Extreme Outfitters is offering 20% OFF all LED Lenser lights with the discount code “LED”. This offer is only available to Soldier Systems Daily readers.

The E9 Head Lamp Pouch was originally designed to carry the Surefire Minimus or Icon Headlamp on a MOLLE/PALs mountable pouch. Turns out it’s a great way to carry things like GoPro cameras, Cigarettes and other items you want to identify without opening the pouch.
