Saturday, January 23rd, 2021

January 22, 2021, The Worldwide Web

You asked for it, we got it…

Hot on the heels of the commercial release of the L3Harris BNVD (AN/PVS-31A), BNVD1531, Factory M914A PVS-14 MNVDs, and the M2124LR CNVD-LR, TNVC is proud to finally announce the release of the last product in our vSHOTT lineup, the L3Harris Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle (GPNVG). TNVC is a full distributor for ALL products within the L3Harris Integrated Vision Solutions portfolio, offering finished goods direct from L3Harris.

tnvc.com/shop/l3harris-gpnvg-ruggedized-bridge/

Featuring L3Harris’ improved Ruggedized Bridge design, offering greater strength and durability during rough use in the field, as well as four high performance, MIL-SPEC Unfilmed White Phosphor image intensifier tubes that combine using specialized hybrid optics to provide the end user with an umatched 97o degree field of view, as opposed to the standard 40o field of view provided by traditional binocular night vision systems.

Previously requiring approval from DoD program managers even for government agencies, by working in close cooperation with L3Harris, TNVC has been able to not only lower barriers to armed professionals with the need and means for these capabilities, but to secure exclusive commercial distribution rights to the GPNVG.

The advantages of the increased, panoramic field of view offered by the GPNVGs cannot be overstated. Not only do they have obvious benefits for assaulters, but they offer critical situational awareness to vehicle and watercraft operators, increasing safety and reaction/response time. When used by multiple operators working in a team, the GPNVGs have a multiplicative effect, offering greatly enhanced security with interlocked fields of fire and observation, reducing operator fatigue and “giving up” dead space when scanning surroundings.

These brand new systems, available exclusively at TNVC for commercial sales will come with a complete factory warranty from L3Harris and continuing product support, even after the stated warranty period has ended, as well as factory Tube Data Records for each of the four, matched and collimated MIL-SPEC MX-10160 format Unfilmed White Phosphor image intensifier tubes. The units also come complete with a CR123 powered external battery pack (required for operation, as the GPNVG has no onboard power supply), and are available in BOTH ANVS Ball-Detent format and BNVS Dovetail format mounting configurations with the appropriate cables to function with the mounting configuration.

The systems are available for order now at TNVC, with deliveries beginning in Q2 of 2021 and will be a regular part of TNVC’s commercial, military, and law enforcement product lineup, and are available for Professional Level dealers, as well as agency and unit pricing through TNVC.

TNVC has always been at the leading edge of bringing the best possible night vision, thermal, and other visual augmentation systems (VAS) products to the market as possible, not only to military and law enforcement and other government agencies, but also the commercial market.

TNVC is proud to be able to add the L3Harris GPNVG to the list of previously commercially unavailable products that we have been able to bring to market, including the L3Harris BNVD family, offering U.S. citizens and patriots the same cutting edge capabilities as our most elite special operations units. TNVC always has and always will advocate for lawful Citizens to have access to the very best in technology and capabilities, and we’re excited to continue to work with the very best partners in the industry to bring great products to the market.

The L3Harris GPNVG is an ITAR controlled item and is not for export without proper licensing and approval.

Volquartsen Firearms Partners With Davidson’s On Exclusive Pistol Release

Friday, January 22nd, 2021

Carroll, IA – Volquartsen Firearms, an industry leader in precision rimfire firearms manufacturing, has partnered with Davidsons, one of the nation’s largest firearm distributors, to release their new Mini Mamba 22 LR pistol.

The Mini Mamba is the lightest, most compact Black Mamba configuration currently offered. It features an overall length under 8″ and weighs only 1 lb 9 oz

“Our relationship with Davidson’s goes back nearly 3 decades so it’s always gratifying to be able to collaborate with them on an exclusive addition to their product line up,” commented Volquartsen President, Scott Volquartsen.

Competition ready in a push-button takedown configuration. Nothing strikes with the speed and agility of the Black Mamba.

The Black Mamba combines features from the Volquartsen Scorpion 22 LR Target Pistol along with the push-button takedown functionality of the Ruger® MK IV™ frame.

The Mini Mamba has a 3″ LLV-4 Competition Upper. This upper features a stainless steel barrel (with stainless steel, laser hardened breech) housed in an aluminum shroud. This design provides match grade accuracy in a lightweight package. An integral Picatinny rail on top is standard.

So, whether shooting suppressed (its overall length makes a great suppressor host), plinking on the range, or looking for something a little lighter for competition – the Mini Mamba is designed to perform.

The Mini Mamba features include:
• A ½ x 28 threaded stainless steel 3” barrel with stainless steel laser-hardened breech within a type III hard anodized aluminum shroud

Volquartsen Firearms Expands On Their Pistol Line-Up

Friday, January 22nd, 2021

Carroll, IA ? Volquartsen Firearms, an industry leader in precision rimfire firearms manufacturing, has expanded on their line of Black Mamba 22 LR pistols with the new Mamba-X.

With the introduction of the Black Mamba in 2019, followed by the Black Mamba-TF in 2020, the Mamba-X is the latest addition to this line of highly sought after pistols.

Competition ready in a push-button takedown configuration. Nothing strikes with the speed and agility of the Black Mamba.

The Black Mamba combines features from the Volquartsen Scorpion 22 LR Target Pistol along with the push-button takedown functionality of the Ruger® MK IV™ frame.

The new Mamba-X and Mamba-TFX pistol configurations utilize Volquartsen’s new LLV-4X upper which has multiple hole mounting locations allowing for a variety of popular red dots to be mounted directly to the top of the upper.

“Competitive shooters are always searching for that “little something” that will make them a fraction of a second faster.  Matches are sometimes won or lost by a fraction of a second. In talking to world champion level shooters, they will tell you that many times the split to that first target sets the tone for the rest of the string,” commented Volquartsen Firearms President, Scott Volquartsen. “In fact, they spend what seems to the casual observer a disproportionate amount of time working on that transition from low ready to first plate. Keeping the red dot mounted as low to the bore-axis as possible makes for faster sight acquisition. The easiest and cleanest way to do this is to mount the red dot directly to the top of the upper.”

The Mamba-X features include:
• A ½ x 28 threaded stainless steel 4.5” barrel with stainless steel laser-hardened breech within a type III hard anodized aluminum shroud
• Volquartsen Accurizing Kit for a 2.25 lb trigger pull
• DLC coated Volquartsen Competition Bolt
• Volquartsen Single-Port Compensator
• Utilizes the Volquartsen LLV-4X Upper
• Available with a Ruger® MK IV™ target frame or Ruger ® MK IV™ 22/45™ frame for push-button takedown capability

The LLV-4X Upper will also be available as a stand-alone product and is compatible with both the Volquartsen Competition Bolt as well as the Ruger® MK IV™ factory bolt.

A limited number of LLV-4X uppers are currently available with complete pistols available in the next 6 months.

Mamba-X MSRP: $1342.00

Mamba-TFX MSRP: $1432.00

LLV-4X Upper MSRP: $489.00

Safariland Announces New Hardwire Armor Packages

Friday, January 22nd, 2021

Innovative Design Offers Lightest, Thinnest Ballistic Panel Protection Available

 

Jacksonville, Florida – Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group®, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets, announced today the next generation of Hardwireâ Ballistic Panels. Hardwire optimizes the strength of compressed Dyneema fibers to create the thinnest and lightest level II and IIIA ballistic panels available.

“The collaboration between Safariland and Hardwire will continue to bring advanced armor protection to end users,” James Duncan, VP/GM of Armor for Safariland said. “This strategic relationship incorporates the thinnest, lightest and highest performing armor panels into our state of the art tactical and concealable vests. Hardwire is an exceptional company that shares Safariland’s vision, and together we are learning how to maximize the effectiveness of armor and how to protect those who serve.”

“Hardwire’s advanced ballistic properties afford the bullet’s shock wave more time to spread out before getting to the body,” George Tunis, CEO of Hardwire LLC, said. “The panel is 100% Dyneema, but it’s more than material alone that makes it work. It’s the Hardwire process and strategic layering of the materials that results in game-changing performance. We use a bullet’s own rotation and exploitable weaknesses to shock the projectile into submission. Meaning, the bullet doesn’t attack the vest, the vest attacks the bullet.”

The second generation Hardwire Ballistic Panel offers the thinnest profile available in soft body armor while weighing just .51 and .68 pounds per square foot for level II and IIIA, respectively. This minimalist design allows for Hardwire Armor to be worn all day without interfering with routine tasks. Hardwire panels stand up to a range of special threat rounds above NIJ standard and the technology was originally developed for use by the elite U.S Special Operations Command and Marine Corps.

Safariland Armor continues to lead through innovation and design that sets the standard in ballistic protection. By continuing to bring cutting-edge body armor designs to market, Safariland provides its customers with high-performance, life-saving armor systems.

By combining Safariland’s proprietary ballistic panel shapes with carrier systems designed to maximize both comfort and protection, this next generation Hardwire ballistic technology takes ballistic protection to a new level. These new Hardwire Level II and Level IIIA ballistic panels will be available for use in all of Safariland’s concealable and tactical vest designs and platforms.

The partnership between Safariland and Hardwire offers a new standard in shock dissipation physics, momentum transfer efficiency, and ultimately, ballistic protection. Taking a round should not be the end of the fight. With the goal of enhanced survivability and minimized injury, Safariland and Hardwire are designed to save the lives of first responders.
