If you’re going to be at next week’s AUSA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC be sure to stop by the SureFire booth and check out the BHI SOPMOD AK. We’re told that ff you’re a fan of the AK, you’re going to love what Blackheart International and the folks at SureFire have cooked up for this weapon platform.
Here are some of the latest products from SureFire courtesy of Warrior Expo 2011. They’ve begun to refer to themselves as a “Tactical Technology Company” and we couldn’t agree more. Watch the video to see why.
The SureFire M720V RAID WeaponLight is one of the systems chosen for USSOCOM’s VBL III contract.
It features variable white-light and infrared output from a single, LED head. A self-locking ring eliminates the danger of accidental light discharges. Modes are controlled via buttons and switches on the light’s chassis or via tape switch. Additionally, it attaches Picatinny rails (even dinged or out of spec) with an integral mount with a self-adjusting Swing-Leverâ„¢ clamp. Available in Black or Desert Sand.

Elzetta Design, LLC has just released a third bezel option for its popular line of ZFL-M60 LED Flashlights. The new Low Profile Bezel reduces bulk and accommodates many commercially available filters. Elzetta ZFL-M60 Lights are built to order with all components available separately for individual customization. All Elzetta products are Made in USA.
Several months ago I started speaking with Inforce about a new LED weapon light concept unlike anything I’d ever seen. Featuring an integrated MIL STD 1913 rail compatible clamp/locking system, the WML also incorporates an ergonomic push button activation switch right into the body of the light. As you can see from this graphic, the WML is adaptable enough to accommodate many shooting styles. This light was designed from the ground up for use with a rail equipped carbine. No extra mounts, No remote switches or cables, No extra lenses.
Powered by a single CR123, the PWL relies on White and IR LEDs. The primary light is White and features selectable Constant and Momentary High, Low and Strobe modes. Additionally, you can configure the PWL to offer either High/Low or Low/High modes. Additionally, there is a Strobe Disable. The secondary light is IR with Constant High and Low modes as well as a Momentary High mode. Additionally, there are two lockout systems to avoid accidental light discharge. First is a safety bail that prevents pushing the activation switch. Second, the head can be rotated to disengage power.
The WML is waterproof to 66 feet and available in Black and Desert Sand.
At the 2012 Maneuver Conference Phantom Products showed us their new Phantom Warrior Tactical Lighting System (TLS).
You can select three different light colors, which are determined by the model number. The first color is always Phantom White, which only emits visible light, no infra red. It starts dim and can be adjusted to full intensity via a thumb controlled rheostat. Both the additional color and IR lights are also adjustable for intensity. For IR, this is a new feature.
Additionally, Phantom Products has added four selectable, flash patterns. The light is waterproof to 200 ft, shock proof and temperature resistant to 190 deg F.
Finally, the light features a mount that is compatible with a variety of load carrying systems. It allows you to adjust the light not only up and down, but also side to side.
We first introduced the innovative C4Grip from Silynx Communications right before SHOT Show. As you will recall, the C4Grip incorporates a built-in wireless PTT and controls to activate the light, laser aiming devices, and tactical radios. The only thing missing when the C4Grip was released was a production flashlight that was compatible with the device.
Now, Silynx has announced the release of a SureFire® KM2 Flashlight Head + Adaptor for the C4Grip. It attaches a standard KM2 flashlight head directly to the front of the C4Grip and it’s exactly the type of thing that can happen when you remote the power source from the actual device. The KM2 flashlight head can be activated (momentary, constant, and strobe) by the C4Grip. This combination transforms the light and switch into a much lighter, more compact, and ergonomic package.
The KM2 from SureFire is an LED light head normally used as a drop-in upgrade to older lights. It offers both white light and IR output from one dual-LED emitter assembly selectable by a positive lock bezel selector. Additionally, the KM2 utilizes a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens that produces a comparatively tight beam suited for close- to medium-range applications.
