IWA 2017: Meprolight Launches Unique Red Dot Micro Sight

Monday, February 27th, 2017

With quick release and backup night sights, the MEPRO MicroRDS is designed for pistols, rifles, and shotguns

The Company expands operations in the European civilian market with introduction of:
MEPRO MicroRDS Red Dot Pistol Sight, MEPRO RDS Red Dot Rifle Sight, and MEPRO FT BULLSEYE Self-Illuminated Pistol Sight

IWA 2017, Nuremberg, Germany, March 3-6, at the Prima Armi booth, #7A-512
February 27, 2017. Meprolight Ltd. – a leading manufacturer of electro-optical systems, thermal and night vision equipment, Self-Illuminated sights, and Laser Range Finder systems for military, law enforcement and civil applications – launches a unique red dot micro sight with quick release and backup night sights. The MEPRO MicroRDS is designed for pistols, rifles, and shotguns. The Company is expanding its operations in the European civilian market with its MEPRO MicroRDS, MEPRO RDS Red Dot Sight, and MEPRO FT BULLSEYE self-illuminated pistol sight.

According to Benny Kokia, VP Marketing & Sales, “We are pleased to expand our operations in the European shooting enthusiasts market, and to take this opportunity to introduce our new product, which is the only one of its kind in the world – the MEPRO MicroRDS. Whether on pistols or rifles, the sight delivers a Red Dot solution that enables quick and accurate shooting.”

The MEPRO MicroRDS – the latest addition to the MEPRO RDS family – is small, rugged, and energy efficient, with a clear aiming point for all light conditions, and a large display window. For pistols, it serves as the main aiming sight, offering fast target acquisition at close distances. It fits a large variety of handguns thanks to its patented quick release mounting (MEPRO MicroRDS adaptor). The adaptor allows the use of an optical sight alongside a backup tritium sight. There is no need to replace the gun’s slide or to drill holes to install the optical sight. For rifles, it serves as a backup sight for close distances, while the main sight covers medium and long distances.

Kokia continued, “The European civilian market is an important market for us. During the first stage, we’ll market a limited number of products, but the goal is to expand and to offer European customers all of our product lines. As an established market in the area of hunting and civilian shooting – we are convinced that shooting enthusiasts will appreciate the benefits of our products, which offer high quality at competitive prices.”

The company is expanding its operations in the European market with the MEPRO RDS electro-optical red dot sight and MEPRO FT BULLSEYE.

The MEPRO RDS is an energy-efficient, compact, and rugged sight that provides thousands of operating hours while utilizing a single “AA” commercial battery. With its large display window and clearly-defined red dot, the MEPRO RDS ensures rapid target acquisition with both eyes open. Offering numerous easily switchable reticle brightness intensities, the MEPRO RDS fits every hunting scenario, and is compatible with GEN II and GEN III NVGs as well as magnifying scopes. The MEPRO RDS is a civilian of the Mil Spec MEPRO M5, used by the Israel Defense Forces.

The MEPRO FT BULLSEYE is an extremely small, low profile, optical pistol sight. Similar to reflex sights, it provides the shooter with an aim point in the form of an illuminated dot and circle bullseye, enabling intuitive and fast target acquisition. The MEPRO FT BULLSEYE allows instant and accurate shooting in all lighting conditions with no batteries needed. The sight – which fits most existing holsters – needs no front sight and can be easily installed on an existing pistol dovetail.

FIME Group – Rex Zero 1 Product Announcement

Sunday, February 26th, 2017

FIME Group has announced new information on the Arex Rex Zero 1, the Slovenian-manufactured P226-inspired handgun, including the release of a new compact model, as well as its introduction to the Maryland handgun roster.The full release can be read below:

FIME Group Product Announcement
Have you heard?! FIME Group has 3 important announcements for the Rex Zero 1!

1. The Rex has a new model, the Compact.
2. We went through the hoops so our Marylanders can protect themselves. Rex Zero 1S is now on the Maryland Roster. Maryland Part Numbers: REXZERO1S-04, REXZERO1S-05
3. With all the demand from our magazine restricted states, we have a 10 round magazine coming shortly.

Arex is located in Slovenia and has over 20 years of design, manufacturing, and CNC experience. When Arex was designing the Rex Zero 1, they knew this was going to be one of the best pistols around. Rex is actually Latin for King. With all the recent reliability/torture tests, it has proven to be an accurate name.

Rex Zero 1 is manufactured out of T7075-T6 Aluminum with full length rails, full length dust cover, an integrated picatinny rail, and a 1 piece cold hammer forged barrel made from a solid bar stock. The parts are then Nitrocarburized to protect against corrosion and wear. The Rex was designed for hard use with expected 30,000 rounds of service life and has passed extensive NATO/Slovenian military based tests.

The controls match the well-engineered frame. They feature an ambidextrous magazine release and safety lever. The Slide stop/Decocker lever are integrated into one. Pushing up on the lever is the slide stop, press down will release the slide, press down again and it will decock the hammer. Field strip can be accomplished without pulling the trigger. You can run this in Double Action/Single Action or Single Action Only. If it is your preferred carry, it can be “cocked and locked”. Double Action trigger pull will be 13 pounds, while the single action trigger pull is going to be 5 pounds. The trigger will reset with only .16” of travel.

Magazines come in 3 different sizes, 15 rounds and 17 rounds, and the new 10 round magazine (coming soon) for the states that have restrictions. We believe everyone should have their ability to protect themselves, even the ones that are unfortunately in the restricted states. The 10, 15, 17 round magazines will work for Compact. Only the 10 and 17 round magazine will work with the Standard. The best part is the MSRP on the magazines are $25. This allows you to stock up on magazines, a great price for spares or if you need them for an upcoming class. Make sure you pick up a few more.

    Riding the Rails with Crimson Trace

    Friday, February 24th, 2017

    (Wilsonville, OR)—Today, more and more manufactured firearms, including many models of pistols and most AR/MSR rifles, have rails for attaching accessories. Crimson Trace offers numerous options to help firearms owners across America decide what rides on their rails.

    There are nearly a dozen Crimson Trace accessory options for firearms with rails:

    1) The LiNQ™ wireless operated laser and light systems are designed to securely attach to most rifles that feature Weaver or Picatinny accessory rails. The remotely operated LiNQ module can be placed in a variety of locations on the rifle and houses a brilliant green laser and 300-lumen white LED light. The replacement activation grip utilizes Crimson Trace’s patented Instinctive ActivationTM firearm laser activation technology, a feature designed to activate the laser when the firearm is held in a normal firing grip and when the user is ready to fire.  No other product in the laser sight industry offers this capability. The replacement activation grip activates and operates the module through a secure, singular, closed system. The module operates in four modes: light only; laser only; laser and light; and, laser and strobe light.

    The newest LiNQ model, the LNQ-103G, is designed to fit AK-type rifles and has a green laser diode. It offers the same features of the original LiNQ.

    2) The Rail Master® Pro laser sight and light is a red or green laser paired with a 100-Lumen LED white light. Operation modes include: laser and light, light only, laser only and laser and light strobe. The CMR-204 (green) and CMR-205 (red) will fit most pistols, rifles and shotguns with M1913 Picatinny or Weaver accessory rails.

    3) The popular Rail Master laser sight is well known for being compact, powerful and affordable. The CMR-201 (red) and CMR-206 (green) have tap-on/tap-off Instant Activation and auto shutoff when left inactive for five minutes. A coyote tan version and 100-lumen white light only model are also available. The Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price begins at $159 for the CMR-201.

    4) The durable and versatile MVF-515™ is an easily installed and operated forend grip that offers a red or green laser paired with a powerful 200-lumen LED white light. Light modes can be moved from momentary or strobe to constant on. MSRP for the MVF-515 red laser sight begins at $479.

    Europe is one of the most vital areas in the world and the focus of much change in the area of electronic warfare (EW), but with change comes uncertainty. In terms of EW and electromagnetic (EM) operations, how can we make sense of all of these things?

    The Association of Old Crows is once again teaming up with Clarion Events to create Europe’s premier electronic warfare event- the only event fully supported by the AOC in Europe. This partnership brings together world-class speakers in a conference programme shaped by industry experts.

    AOC EW Europe will consider the future of EW and EM Operations in the changing light of current and emerging threats, including Hybrid Warfare and Anti Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) where potential opponents are out-performing the West. It will consider the possible responses, how thinking and attitudes must change, and examine the new capabilities that will be required across all lines of development, by all services, in all countries in the free world. The Conference will consist of plenary sessions and twin-tracks focusing on operations, defence capability development, and industry inventiveness.

    AOC EW Europe will be held in perhaps the world’s most iconic city – London. It will consider the future of EW and EM Operations in the changing light of current and emerging threats, including Hybrid Warfare and Anti Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) where potential opponents are out-performing the West.

    Speakers will include leaders and operators from the military, government, academia, S&T and R&D communities and, crucially industry. This is an unclassified truly-global EW networking, exhibition, workshop and conference and not to be missed.

    The PLATH Intelligence Workshop will precede the EW Europe conference on 6 June 2017. For more information or to submit a paper, please visit www.eweurope.com
