Crimson Trace Launches Laserguard for Smith & Wesson SD and SD VE Pistols

Thursday, January 18th, 2018

(Wilsonville, OR)— Crimson Trace®, recognized as America’s top brand of laser sights in a recent Southwick Associates shooting sports industry survey, today announced its newest Laserguard® laser sight—the LG-457 with red laser diode—for a precision fit onto the Smith & Wesson® series of SD™ and SD VE™ pistols. This new Crimson Trace Laserguard laser sight will fit the Smith & Wesson SD9™, SD40™, SD9 VE™, and SD40 VE™ semi-auto pistols.

This newest Crimson Trace Laserguard laser sight with a red laser diode for the Smith & Wesson SD and SD VE pistols utilize Crimson Trace’s patented Instinctive Activation™ firearm laser technology. Award-winning Instinctive Activation technology ensures that the laser sight activates when the firearm is held with a normal firing grip and when the user is ready to fire. That system is one of many reasons why Crimson Trace is a leader in the firearms laser sight market. The new Laserguard LG-457 laser sight can be easily adjusted for windage and elevation, is easy to install and maintain, and is covered under the Crimson Trace innovative Free Batteries for Life Program. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of the Laserguard LG-457 is $229.

Crimson Trace Laserguard laser sights incorporate either a red or green laser diode within a sturdy and compact housing and they are simple to install onto the pistol’s trigger guard. The necessary installation screws, plus battery for operation, are included in the product packaging. Some other laser sight manufacturers require the additional purchase of tools and batteries for installation and operation.

Crimson Trace leads the laser sight accessory category by offering more than 300 products through 2,500+ dealers across America. Those dealers include gun stores, ranges, big box outlets and numerous on-line retailers. Crimson Trace products can be easily installed without requiring modification of the firearm —or special gunsmith skills.

Wednesday, January 17th, 2018

TRIAD C1 Aiming Laser (Green Visible / IR Pointer / IR Laser Illuminator) Eye-Safe Version

As a follow-up to the recent Triad™ Mil / LE multi-beam weapon laser, we are proud to announce that an upgraded “Class 1” civilian version is now available, which incorporates a high-power eye-safe infrared laser illuminator. Also, Mil Standard-810G and ESD compliant, the Triad™ C1 is offered at an even more affordable end-user price point! Yet another stunning breakthrough in the tactical laser market, the Triad™ C1 combines both a covert eye-safe IR aiming laser and collimate-able infrared illuminator for tactical night vision operations and the very latest advanced generation Green aiming laser for dim light or daytime targeting applications. Sighting the laser is as easy as sighting in the green visible laser, which automatically aligns the IR Pointer and Illuminator.

Specifically designed for the civilian / Law Enforcement market, the aiming lasers are controlled with a single set of low-profile windage and elevation dials that greatly simplify bore-sighting and adjustment manipulations. Both aiming lasers and laser illuminator can be operated individually or simultaneously (IR Pointer/IR Illuminator) in various combinations. Activation is controlled with the included remote cable pressure pad switch or the built–in single tap “FIRE” button located on top of the housing body for easy access.

Despite all its many advanced features, the Triad™ C1 is remarkably compact and maintains a low profile when weapon mounted. The ruggedized design of the Triad™ C1 ensures continued operation when submerged or when subjected to repeated heavy recoil. The system also includes an integral Picatinny rail for additional accessories as well as an adjustable quick detach throw lever mount with lock to prevent accidental detachment in the field. Advanced features include hydraulic windage / elevations controls which require no tools in the field. The IR Illuminator beam collumation is controlled from an easy to reach knob on the back of the system. The lens cap is held in place with a rare earth magnet, while the laser is kinetic. Power is supplied by a standard CR123 battery.

NOW AVAILABLE for a SPECIAL SHOT SHOW pricing through January 31st for $695. Normal retail price is $995.

Revision Introduces New Shadowstrike – The Anti-Fog Ballistic Sunglasses

Wednesday, January 17th, 2018

Essex Junction, Vermont (January 17, 2018) – Revision Military, the world leader in protective eyewear and integrated soldier solutions, introduces the company’s new ShadowStrike™ Tactical Ballistic Sunglasses. This new sunglasses line features Revision’s premium OcuMax™ Plus coating–for superior anti-fog and scratch resistance–along with a novel nosepiece mechanism to easily swap the lenses. Revision designed and developed the ShadowStrike Sunglasses to exceed U.S. Military ballistic protection standards. ShadowStrike Sunglasses are available for purchase now.

“Though Revision has grown considerably in recent years–now incorporating advanced helmet systems, power management solutions, and tactical communications headsets–protective eyewear remains a critical part of our business,” said Jonathan Blanshay, CEO, Revision Military. “The new ShadowStrike Ballistic Sunglasses represent our continued innovation on this front. While Revision was founded on protective eyewear for military use, our spectacles, goggles, and sunglasses are now used by tactical officers, law enforcement, and special operators all over the world. The many strides that Revision has made in protective eyewear are baked into the ShadowStrike line: these sunglasses are tailored to a wide range of mission profiles; feature our leading anti-fog and scratch-resistant coatings; are built for integration and comfort; and, most importantly, offer incomparable protection.”

ShadowStrike Sunglasses have a sharp, geometrical wraparound design that provides unobstructed field-of-vision and ballistic protection for fast-paced tactical, special ops, and military operations. Angular frames and a tighter curvature give this line a distinctive look while maximizing protection–fitting squarely, securely, and comfortably at all times, for any mission. With optical-grade, polycarbonate lenses, ShadowStrike Sunglasses provide the impact resistance Revision eyewear is known for, exceeding U.S. military eyewear ballistic requirements. From inception, ShadowStrike Sunglasses were designed and optimized to exceed the rigorous standards of the U.S. Army’s Authorized Protective Eyewear List (APEL) and will be submitted for inclusion for the 2019 APEL program.

The nosepiece mechanism, engineered specifically for this eyewear line, makes changing out the dual lenses quick and easy. This eyewear provides 100% UV-A-B-C ultraviolet protection and features Revision’s leading OcuMax Plus anti-fog and anti-scratch coating, preventing the close-fit sunglasses from fogging and ensuring clear, unimpeded vision during any outing.

The ShadowStrike Sunglasses will initially be offered in black frames with a variety of lens color options for various light conditions. A standard two lens kit (solar and clear lenses) will retail for an MSRP of $115.00 USD. Additional frame colors and lens options will be released later this year.

Shield Sights Announces the RMS-C For Compact Pistols

Wednesday, January 17th, 2018

For Immediate Release – Dorset, England, U.K. – Shield Sights is pleased to announce the release and full production of the RMS-C. The RMS-C is a compact variation of the RMS that has been specifically designed to be a perfect fit on sub-compact or slim frame pistols.

The RMS-C is an answer to the rising demand for red dot sights on compact EDC pistols. Until now there has never been a red dot sight that maintains full functionality in a slim and aesthetically pleasing package for sub-compact pistols like the Glock 43 and Smith & Wesson Shield.

“After years of declaring that we make the smallest sights we noticed a space that was not being serviced by anyone. Brought to our attention because the customer base was now happy to mount the RMS on to sub compact pistols and accept the sight overhanging the slide, this was not acceptable to Shield so we set the task of miniaturising our RMS to fit the century old 1911/2011 slides, Glock 43’s, Smith & Wesson Shield’s and other single stack pistol slides.”

The RMS-C has the same bolt pattern as the original SMS/RMS so users with slides already cut for the RMS can easily swap sights if they choose to.

Features:
– The RMS-C is machined from strong aerospace grade aluminium.
– Very fast automatic brightness adjustment
– No overhang on G43 or S&W Shield
– Very low profile to Co-Witness standard iron sights
– 2-3 year average battery life with standard CR2032 battery
– Weight: 17 grams / .60 ounces battery included

The RMS-C is available with the option of 4 MOA or 8 MOA dots with an MSRP of $430.

The original founder Dan Ellis was able to acquire the rights back to OTB in 2017. Dan has been busy working on a 2018 re-launch of some of its coveted models; same outstanding quality products with a new updated logo.

OTB Boots was always known to introduce market-changing innovations into footwear categories void of upgrades or technical advancements. This was demonstrated in OTB’s original model of the Abyss water boot that was developed in conjunction with the US Navy SEALs. Soon after, the popular DesertLite and JungleLite were introduced as some of the lightest boots in the field.

The JungleLite model has been re-engineered to meet AR 670-1 regulations yet still retain the superior support, athletic fit, and breathability not found in any boot on the market today.

OTB Boots will re-launch exclusively in March with US Patriot Tactical through their network of forty (40) stores and accompanying website. Sales and distribution will be managed by Black Lions Partners, a marketing and distribution company affiliated with US Patriot LLC. We are accepting new dealer inquiries for the second phase of shipments that will arrive in early Fall 2018.
