Langdon Tactical Expands RDO Solution for Beretta 92 Pistols at NRAAM Indianapolis

Thursday, April 13th, 2023

(Indianapolis, IN) – Langdon Tactical is proud to announce the expansion of their standard-setting RDO mounting solution for the Beretta 92 to include nearly all Beretta 92 models built since 1982.

Previously, only 92 pistols with Vertec slides (Elite LTT, 92X, M9A3, etc) could be cut for the LTT Red Dot Optic (RDO) solution. The Gungineering team at LTT, led by Ernest Langdon, now has an RDO solution for the 92X Performance, Brigadier, 92FS, 92D, including Beretta’s newest additions, the M9A4, 92XI and other Beretta-production RDO models.

“After the introduction and subsequent success of our original 92 RDO solution in July 2020, we immediately realized this solution was needed for other 92 models” says Ernest Langdon, President of LTT “my team and I sharpened our pencils and got to work developing the LTT RDO solution for the wide variety of different 92 models on the market, for an optic cut as low or lower than most direct milled striker systems”

LTT’s RDO Solution is a true LOW RDO cut with a dot height above the center of the bore of just .85″ (when paired with a Trijicon RMR).

Introduced in 2020, the critically acclaimed (Garand Thumb, Sage Dynamics, 1911 Syndicate) LTT RDO solution has evolved to also include both the Beretta PX4 and the HK P30 series of pistols, also offered by Langdon.

In 2022, the LTT RDO cut for 92 pistols was approved by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department for duty use by individual officers, following an intensive testing and evaluation by the LASD training staff.

To see the full line up of pistols LTT is currently offering their Red Dot Optic cut visit our booth (5873) at the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis April 14th-16th 2023.

Bushnell’s KC Eusebio Sweeps U.S. Steel Nationals with New RXM-300 Reflex Sight

Thursday, April 13th, 2023

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – April 12, 2023 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, congratulates pro shooter KC Eusebio for his recent win at the U.S. Steel Nationals, which took place in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Eusebio took first place in the Open Division and First Overall using the new Bushnell RXM-300 Reflex Sight.

Eusebio, who worked with Bushnell on the design of the RXM-300, was successful in winning his first major match of the year using the new reflex sight. With its extra-large lens, multiple intensity adjustments and robust housing, the RXM-300 is perfectly suited for the fast-paced style of the steel shooting competition.

“Being able to win a national championship so early in the year is a fantastic feeling,” Eusebio said. “Add to it, winning for the first time with the new Bushnell red dot makes this title even better.”

Introduced earlier this year, the RXM-300 is a versatile, large lens, 4 MOA red dot with optimized hood geometry for faster target acquisition and shot follow-up without sacrificing durability. That not only makes it the perfect competition sight for pro shooters like Eusebio, but also makes it a great option for carry, home defense and hunting.

“The RXM-300 did its job and performed at the highest level,” added Eusebio. “I’m so very proud of this new dot that I can’t stop sharing it with anyone who shoots or competes. By far, my favorite features are the unbelievable field of view it offers, the 12 brightness settings and the incredibly durable housing.”

HENSOLDT Optronics Builds New Plant in Oberkochen

Wednesday, March 29th, 2023

Oberkochen/Germany, 28 March 2023 – The sensor solutions provider HENSOLDT today broke ground for the construction of a new plant in Oberkochen. The new building is the HENSOLDT Group’s response to the steadily growing demand for high-performance military equipment for the German Armed Forces and members of NATO, and to the ever-increasing demand from manufacturers of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry, who source high-precision optronic measuring equipment from HENSOLDT Optronics. The total investment volume is around 100 million euros. The company plans to move into the new location in 2025.

With the help of an innovative and sustainable energy concept, 70 percent of the electricity required in the new plant will be covered by the company’s own renewable sources. This share is to increase to 100 per cent in the long term. The total energy demand (heating, cooling, electricity) will be covered by regenerative sources, but mainly by geothermal probes working as heat pumps and photovoltaic systems. With its advanced energy concept, HENSOLDT is aiming for sustainability certification from a renowned institute.

“The focus of our growth plans is to expand our capacities in order to be able to supply the German Armed Forces quickly and to the required extent. I am pleased that this new location will create highly qualified jobs for the entire Ostwürttemberg region and beyond. As we grow, we will continue to invest in our employees and the environment in which we operate,” said HENSOLDT CEO Thomas Müller at the groundbreaking ceremony. “The new building will not only help us to handle the upcoming orders even better. It will also help us to better communicate the pride we as HENSOLDTians have in ourselves, our work and our service to the Federal Republic of Germany to the outside world.”

“All work areas, from administration, research and development, to assembly and integration areas will be synergetically stacked in the new location and interconnected due to the structure of the building,” explains Andreas Hülle, Division Manager Optronics & Land Solutions and Managing Director of HENSOLDT Optronics GmbH. “From 2025, around 850 employees will be able to take advantage of an innovative working environment in a “high-tech campus”. Flexible expansion options for the building structure and internal design will enable further growth in the long term.

“With more than 800 employees in Oberkochen and Aalen, HENSOLDT stands for the development, construction and production of state-of-the-art optical and optronic devices, including the necessary processing of sensor data. The new construction of the ultra-modern and particularly sustainable HENSOLDT Optronics Campus and the associated investment of around 100 million euros are a clear commitment to the Ostalbkreis innovation location,” said Dr Joachim Bläse, District Administrator of the Ostalbkreis. “The lessons learned from recent history show us that developments for security technology, civil and also military applications must be driven forward in equal measure. A beacon for this is being built in Oberkochen.”
