Monday, January 16th, 2012TNVC, Inc and Laser Devices, Inc. are proud to announce the release of the LAS/TAC 2 Infrared Class 1 Pistol Laser series available exclusively from Tactical Night Vision Company. This series of Eye-Safe IR Lasers is designed specifically to attach to popular pistol makes and models via several available mounting interfaces (Mil-Std 1913/Picatinny,Standard/Weaver, Non-Standard Accessory Rails).
The LAS/TAC 2 Class 1 IR Laser series feature ~0.1mW Infrared Laser modules, making them Eye-Safe and unrestricted for individual civilian sale. They are fully adjustable for windage/elevation and can attach and detach without realignment. LAS/TAC 2’s activate using a three-way lever switch with or without a remote momentary pressure pad.

John Bianchi is Coming Back to Industry!
Thursday, December 29th, 2011We just received some very exciting news. After retiring in 1992, John Bianchi is returning to the tactical market. He will be lending his unique vision in design to a new line of lights and more with FoxFury. Granted, Mr Bianchi never went completely away. He has been hand crafting holsters for the discriminating shooter for many years at Frontier Gunleather, but this is the first time he will be mainstream in many years.
Mr Bianchi will be joining FoxFury in their booth at SHOT Show (Booth #26206). Make sure you stop by and say hello.

New Remote Tape Switch for the Elzetta ZFL-M60
Thursday, December 22nd, 2011
Elzetta has released a Remote Tape Switch for the Elzetta ZFL-M60 LED Tactical Flashlight. It features a fully molded pressure pad (not mere shrink wrap), an integrated zip-tie slot for easy attachment (slot may be clipped off it not needed), and an innovative fail-safe constant-on feature. By rotating the Tape Switch Tailcap fully clockwise, the light will remain on without the pressure pad being depressed. This hands-free constant-on feature works independently from the pressure pad and remains fully functional even if the Remote Tape Switch cable is completely severed. It is available with a cable length of 5 inches or 12 inches. All things Elzetta are Made in USA! with a limited lifetime warranty.
HEL-STAR in Action

Remember the HEL-STAR 5 strobe from Core Survival we wrote about back in June? Here is some video of it in action, attached to a Gentex Parachutist Helmet during a military free fall jump at Eloy, AZ. It is designed for use by parachutists while in freefall and under canopy to identify one another.
