NEW 1000 Lumen SureFire Stiletto Pro!

Thursday, January 24th, 2019

Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest — and most innovative —illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the new SureFire Stiletto Pro!

 

More powerful than the standard Stiletto, the Stiletto Pro is a high-output flashlight with a slim profile that fits comfortably in any pocket, and can be drawn and activated with ease. Optimized by SureFire’s proprietary MaxVision Beam® reflector, the Stiletto Pro’s 1,000 lumens of smooth, well-rounded light in high-output mode are easily accessed by the body’s primary switch or tactical tail switch; the latter also activates an optional high-frequency strobe that is useful for blinding an attacker. Like the Stiletto, the Stiletto Pro also features a 250-lumen medium output and a 5-lumen low output, giving it the versatility to handle a wide variety of tasks, and the primary switch can be programmed to reverse the activation sequence. A rechargeable lithium polymer battery and included MICRO-USB cable charger make it easy to keep the Stiletto Pro powered up, and its Melonite-coated, reversible heavy-duty spring steel pocket clip keeps the light secure and accessible whether you prefer to store it with the bezel up or down.

Machined from Mil-Spec hard-anodized aluminum for tremendous durability, the SureFire Stiletto Pro is one tough, pint-sized powerhouse.

Pork Sword Graphic

Announcing the Pork Sword Chassis

Weighing in at a scant 14.7 ounces, the Black Collar Arms Pork Sword is a minimalist, modular chassis compatible with left- or right-handed Remington 700 footprint short actions.

Pork Sword Pistol FDE Left

With a rear Picatinny rail, build yourself a pistol with a brace like the SB Tactical FS1913 or dust off that old R700 rifle and start a new, shoulder stock-equipped project today!

Pork Sword Pistol Green Right

Ideal for hog hunting, general truck gun use, or just finding some fun on the shooting range, a Pork Sword Pistol suppresses wonderfully and puts rifle accuracy and capability in an extremely compact package.

Whether it’s the handy size, the additional handgun hunting seasons in some states, the ability to keep it loaded in a vehicle (hunting-related restrictions on loaded rifles don’t apply), the simplified ownership in some states as compared to a semi-auto pistol or rifle, how great of a suppressor host it is, or simply the cool and fun factor, a bolt-action pistol makes all sorts of sense.

Pork Sword Pistol Chalk

• 7075 Aluminum
• Type III Hard Coat Anodized as standard (Cerakote options available)
• Accepts most AR-15 pistol grips
• Accepts any M1913 Picatinny rail-compatible pistol stabilizing brace or shoulder stock

MSRP: $299.99

Pork Sword Rifle Left Folded (1)

Coming soon from Black Collar Arms for the Pork Sword:

FARend — The Pork Sword Chassis’ integral front Pic rail is a bit close for a bipod. Mount it out farther with our FARend. That’s Forward Accessory Rod. Then the word “end” so it sounds like forend. Anyway, the FARend’s M-LOK® slots allow you to mount a bipod, angled or vertical forward grip, and/or barrier stop(s) out in front of the Pork Sword Chassis, all nice and close to the bore. A lightweight, minimalist, and simple solution for extending accessories up to a foot farther out front. The production version will be quick detach. (ETA late Q1, early Q2)
Handguards — yes, yes, we’re finalizing the design on those, too. (ETA Q2)
Stock Options — lightweight, M1913 Picatinny rail-compatible, folding stocks from Black Collar Arms are coming! These will have a typical length of pull for a rifle. Our Preferred Stock Option will have an adjustable cheek rest and butt pad. (ETA late Q1, early Q2)
Black Collar Arms’ own custom pistol action (ETA mid-late Q2, maybe early Q3). Once ready, we will be submitting this to California’s Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale so it’s an easy purchase for our customers who aren’t lucky enough to live in the U.S. of A.
• Chassis for other firearms, from Ruger 10/22 to…well…we aren’t spilling the beans quite yet but other fits are coming very soon! Sign up for our email notifications to be…well…notified.

The Redback Company – Meet the Ambassadors

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2019

The Redback Company is lucky to work with two great Brand Ambassadors.  Glen Steyn and Piers Hallihan.

Glen Steyn (@glen.steyn)

Glen is a former Royal Marine and member of the Special Forces Support Group.  Last year he, and another Royal Marine, walked the length of the Orange River in Africa completely unsupported.  A journey of 2500 km over 97 days.

Glen is currently working with Veterans For Wildlife on anti-poaching operations and Ranger training in South Africa and Namibia.  

Glen believes passionately in conservation and is dedicated to using his skills and training to end poaching in Africa.

When he isn’t treating the wildlife to his supermodel good looks he lives in Johannesburg in his native South Africa.

Piers Hallihan (@speleotrog)

Joining Glen is our second Brand Ambassador Piers Hallihan.  

Piers is a consummate outdoorsman.  Regularly to be found on top of or under the Welsh Hills as a keen mountaineer and caving enthusiast.  Piers has been a Scout Leader since the mid-90s having joined as a youth in the early-80s. As a Scout Mountain Leader, he ensures that a new generation of young people is learning to love the outdoors.

He is also a long-standing member of South & Mid Wales Cave Rescue Team (http://smwcrt.org/j32/), using his caving skills to help others.

When he is not out and about being an outdoor god, Piers loves to spend time with his wife and children.  He is also an accomplished photographer (check out his work at his website) and plays a mean trombone!

Piers says:

“Having spent time in the mountains with Ben and the Explorers who inspired the Redback brand, I’m flattered to be invited onto the team. Redback has a great ethos, some awesome product lines and some brilliant ideas for the future!”

The Redback Company is looking forward to working with Piers, alongside Glen, to develop new products, put prototypes through the wringer, and show why Redback Company products are worth buying.

Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest — and most innovative — illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the revolutionary new XVL2 WeaponLight and laser. The XVL2 was developed at the request of special operations customers and is the result of years of R&D.

Available in a civilian-legal Class I version as well as a full-power, restricted Class IIIb model for Military and Law Enforcement, the XVL2 utilizes the same proven switching as our X300 series of lights, and can be ambidextrously activated in both momentary and constant-on modes. A mode selector dial allows the selection of illumination and/or aiming lasers, as well as a low-power training setting on the full-power, restricted MIL/LE version. All this capability is powered by a single 123A battery that can be changed from the front, eliminating the need to remove or re-zero the device.
