The NEW Micro6x Magnifier from Vortex Takes Your Red Dot 6x Farther

Friday, January 14th, 2022

BARNEVELD, Wis. – With a red dot, your carbine is already a versatile weapon, giving you the confidence you need to engage close-range targets. But now, there’s a simple way to stretch your effective range, with the new Micro6x Magnifier from Vortex®.

In addition to being the most compact 6x magnifier on the market, the Micro6x Magnifier provides an easy on, easy off flip mount, and everything you need to mount up right out of the box. You can take your pick of three mounting heights, from absolute co-witness, lower 1/3 co-witness, and 1.93 inches with included riser, and the adjustable flip mount easily allows for left- or right-handed use.

The camlock system engages and disengages with direct pressure, allowing you to raise and lower the magnifier quickly and easily, and the system is built to stand up to hard use in the field. Crisp optics round out an all-new way to hit harder and farther than you ever thought possible.

This reduction in size is achieved while improving the overall quality and scalability of the video image.

With a weight of 7.5g and a 21mm x 21mm x 19mm body, the ArmaCORE represents an industry-leading reduction in space without sacrificing performance. The advanced embedded processing and video analytics, as well as customizable software functionality, gives this small camera big capabilities, including integration with auxiliary sensors, third-party cameras, GPS, and IMU.

Automatic FFC – Build in shutter optimizes deep flat field correction

Auto Colorization – Auto pallet colorization is based on 256 color LUT

Enhanced Grayscale based on 14 bit dynamic range

XS R3D Night Sights for CZ P-10 C Optics-Ready and Glock 43, 43x and 48 MOS Pistols

Wednesday, January 12th, 2022

Fort Worth, Texas (January 11, 2022) – XS® Sights is pleased to extend its R3D Night Sight offerings for CZ and Glock pistols with the addition of standard height R3D sights for the CZ P-10 C Optics-Ready pistol and suppressor height models for Glock 43, 43x, and 48 MOS pistols.

Available with a bright Orange or Green Glow Dot front sight, the XS R3D has a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture with a notch that is 15% wider than the front sight, allowing more visible light around the front sight. This space, combined with the XS Glow Dot technology, makes it easier to see the front sight in changing light conditions and when shooting on the move. It also aids in faster sight alignment and increased accuracy.

“The Glow Dot technology in our R3D front sight activates even before the tritium is visible, giving those who prefer a 3-dot notch and post sight picture a significant edge in high-stress situations,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager for XS Sights. “The R3D front dot also glows brighter than the two-dot tritium rear which drives your focus downrange and prevents you from mistaking a rear dot for the front sight when your adrenaline is surging.”

Retail Price: $110 to $123

For more information, visit www.xssights.com.

All XS Sights are backed by a 10-year, No Questions Asked Warranty and XS’s 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

Introducing the C1 Max from Badger Ordnance

Wednesday, January 12th, 2022

The C1 Max is the latest edition to our Condition One Modular Mount lineup. The C1 Max was designed ground up with the precision rifle shooter in mind. Borrowing from and blending our Max 50 Scope Ring and C1 Modular Mount designs, the C1 Max has 1” wide, six screw ring caps for increased coverage and clamp force on your optic.

The C1 Max also uses a low profile hardened steel clamp foot and four machined #10 crossbolts with low-pro T20 heads to ensure your mount stays put under the harshest recoil and conditions. The C1 Max has no forward cantilever for those who find cantilevered designs difficult to achieve eye relief with some optic and short action rail combos.

The C1 Max is compatible with most of the full line of C1 accessories and attachments (there are specific ARC and ACD models for C1 Max) and offers the full range of modularity and customization the Condition One Modular Mounts are known for.

Currently offered in 34mm, 35mm, and 36mm with heights of 1.30” and 1.54” tall with 0 and 20 MOA variants for all.
