Meprolight Showcases Line of Innovative Optics at 2019 NASGW

Friday, October 18th, 2019

Meprolight USA will exhibit at the 2019 NASGW Expo, Oct. 22 -25, 2019 in Orlando, Florida. On display will be their line of red-dot, thermal and self-illuminated sights for the civilian and professional market.

Middletown, Penn. (October 2019) –Meprolight®, a world leader in a variety of optic solutions from electro-optics sights, thermal sights and devices, self-illuminated sights, and innovative pistol sights, will be exhibiting at the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) Expo on Oct. 22 – 25, 2019 in Orlando, Florida, at booth #523.

Meprolight, a renowned supplier for militaries and law enforcement agencies around the globe, opened the US division early 2019 to facilitate a closer relationship with US distributors and retailers with a goal of reaching the US commercial market. Meprolight’s products offer the American consumer some of the latest innovations in electro-optic sight systems for handguns and long guns that are ready to take on any challenge, whether for target shooting, hunting or home defense.

All of Meprolight’s products offer energy-efficiency, large window displays, compact housing systems, easy-to-use controls, multiple reticle options, quick detach mechanisms and superior clarity and performance in any environmental condition.

Meprolight revolutionized the weapon sight industry with the MEPRO FORESIGHT, a first-of-its-kind augmented weapon sight capable of projecting essential tactical data right on the transparent optical lens in real-time. Utilizing Bluetooth interface to connect with the FORESIGHT’s mobile app for Android or iPhone, the user can store up to 10 zeroing firearms profiles or user profiles, so the sight can be removed and replaced without ever having to re-zero. It also has access to a large database of reticles for tactical scenarios and to receive firmware updates and new features, as they are released to market.

Additionally, Meprolight will have the MEPRO RDS PRO V.2 on hand, as well as the MEPRO MicroRDS. Both electro-optical red-dot sights are the latest generation with the RDS PRO V.2 featuring an optimized combination, more brightness positions (16 brightness levels compare to four brightness levels in its predecessor), and supports both red and green aiming patterns and multiple selections of aiming patterns all through a large crystal clear, transparent display window.

The MicroRDS is a small, rugged, energy efficient, electro-optical red dot sight designed for handguns, shotguns, and rifles with a large display window and a clearly defined red-dot for fast target acquisition with both eyes open. The MicroRDS Kit includes a patent-pending dovetail adapter with a quick detach mechanism that allows mounting and dismounting the MicroRDS on the gun with a click of a finger. The adapter includes high-quality Meprolight Night Sights that allow accurate and fast shooting under any lighting conditions when the MicroRDS Optic is removed.

Meprolight’s self-illuminated sight offerings include the FT Bullseye, similar to an optical sight, but in a small, low profile with an aim point in the form of an illuminated dot and circle bullseye.

The MEPRO MX3 T, the new magnifying scope with an integrated side flip adaptor and 3X magnification is designed for the distance shooter. Also, new is the MEPRO FT Single Dot and FT Two Dot, fiber-tritium optimized for day and night brightness on a super compact, low-profile platform.

Meprolight’s array of sight options for civilian, law enforcement and military are all designed to meet the high standards of military use; therefore, customers can count on Meprolight products as exceeding traditional standards of durability, reliability, clarity and consistent performance.

The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) was founded in 1953 to bring together shooting sports buyers and sellers through their membership and annual expo event. The NASGW provides education, marketing, and communication opportunities for its hunting and shooting sports wholesalers, manufacturers, and sales professional members.

Thursday, October 17th, 2019

Minden, NV, October 15, 2019– Franklin Armory®, the makers of CA7TM (the only California Roster approved AR,) introduces a new long gun for the Golden State that is neither “featureless” or “mag locked.”

The Franklin Armory® Title 1TM was created for our friends behind enemy lines where the modern sporting rifle is neutered beyond comprehension. While fixed magazine and featureless platforms will continue to have their place, Title 1TM provides a FULL FEATURE option to the consumer in restrictive jurisdictions. It has a standard magazine release, and while it ships with a 10 round magazine, civilians can use legally acquired 30 round magazines with Title 1TM. Whether for hunting, competition, or defense, Franklin Armory® is constantly working to provide new options for the American firearms enthusiast.

• Since it is not a rifle, shotgun, or pistol, it can’t be defined as an Assault Weapon in CA

• Standard push button magazine release

• Usable with legally owned standard capacity magazines

• 3 points of contact including padded cheek weld

• Can be used with any flash hider or compensator

• 100% American made

The Title 1TM will make its debut at the NASGW show on October 23rd 2019 booth # 623 Available for order Now!

PDW Raider Field Pant 100HBT

Wednesday, October 16th, 2019

Expertly Made, Rugged, Feature Rich, Utility Field Pant

1E7F217E-2568-4D89-B735-51B151E0F7EC

The Prometheus Design Werx releases their best selling Raider Field Pant design in a new, rugged, 9oz, 100% cotton, herringbone twill fabric.

35965F05-2C91-435E-AA67-5C42B795B99D

This pant design was inspired by the vintage USMC Dungaree and reimagined as it would be made today with a modern fit and updated functionality. Featuring ample pockets for today’s EDC items, work-wear type hand pockets clear tool and pack belts, double reinforced seat and knees, a diamond gusset for freedom of movement, no-loss slotted buttons, no-twist, custom made delta ring clip points, all in a clean, streamlined, straight leg silhouette and regular fit. The durable, 9oz HBT fabric is custom milled and closely follows the original vintage dungaree fabric. Built in the USA.

The Prometheus Design Werx Raider Field pant 100 HBT is available in Vintage Fatigue Green, All Terrain Brown, and Motor Pool Gray.

21C06BD1-7D02-496E-919F-2A2CF9B49D66

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“When we set out to create this non-cargo pocket type field pant we immediately thought of the classic WWII era USMC Dungaree. This was a design that was totally dialed towards utility, durability, and field use. It was an obvious and great place to start. We built the fit around a modern regular straight leg silhouette that supersedes flighty trends and ridiculous cuts, which can be either too baggy or too damn skinny. While we began this style pant using MILSPEC 5050 NYCO, we always wanted to return to the original ‘HBT’ material as originally used. We finally found a suitable mill to source this 100% cotton herringbone twill and were able to use that in this design. ‘HBT’ is a distinct and durable fabric that can actually trace its roots to the days of the Roman Empire. In more ‘modern’ times, cotton HBT is best known in classic American work-wear and the vintage US Military dungarees and fatigues. Our pant style even takes its namesake and is in honor of the Marine Raiders from WWII. Everything about this pant is taken from the ‘best of’ in classic work and military wear but with our signature design and functional details for today’s modern user. Whether mending fences on your property, an autumn hike, tinkering on your rig in the workshop, to a night out exploring food trucks, the Raider Field Pant 100HBT has got you covered this year and into the next.”

The Raider Field Pant 100HBT will be available for purchase on Thursday, October 17th, 2019 at 12:00pm PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

During his impressive career, he led at every level of NSW, from SEAL platoon commander, to Commander of the Nation’s premier Counterterrorist Force, to Deputy Commander of Naval Special Warfare Command, where he was responsible for training and equipping a 7,000 person force. He also commanded a 1,500 person Joint Task Force in Afghanistan, which conducted over 2,000 missions against enemy leaders.

His staff tours included assignments as director of Counterterrorism on the National Security Staff, White House, directly briefing The President of the United States; as the Assistant Operations Officer for Counterterrorism, The Pentagon, where he advised the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff daily on counterterrorism operations; and as the Deputy Commander for Operations, Office of Defense Representative, Pakistan, where he coordinated NATO operations with Pakistani military leaders.

Admiral Moore currently serves as CEO of Karakoram Group, which he co-founded, an organization that focuses on solving global commercial security problems.

“We are more than excited to welcome Admiral Moore to the Wild Things board of directors. Admiral Moore is an accomplished leader with over three decades of experience in NSW, which will provide valuable insights into the needs of the warfighter. We are confident Admiral Moore will make an important and positive impact on the Company,” said Christian Cantalupo, Partner of ASGARD.

“I have a lot of respect for the Wild Things mission to protect extraordinary men and women taking extreme risks in uncertain conditions,” said Admiral Moore. “I have always admired the Wild Things brand and product, having used it firsthand in the field, and am looking forward to contributing to the Company’s next level of success.”
