After a delay, the SilencerCo Weapons Research Radius is now available.
The Radius was unveiled last September. It is a Picatinny rail compatible rangefinder capable of ranging out to a mile on a reflective target. The Radius offers a user configurable display and continuous ranging for 12 hours with two CR123 batteries. What’s more, it comes in at just under $1000.
The Garmin tactix Bravo is first and foremost a watch, and a good looking one at that. But that’s not all that’s going on with the tactix. It’s a GPS-enabled multi-sport training watch that offers some great features for militray and LE users. For instance, it processes both US GPS and Russian GLONASS signals meaning you’ve got a better shot at knowing where you are in a GPS-denied environment. Additionally, the tactix offers apps such as Jumpmaster which makes data all the more usable. Also, GPS features like track-back allow you to find your way back to a point of origin and the GPS data is augmented by altimeter, barometer and compass features.
Here are a few highlights:
The tactix is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It can last up to 20 hours on a single charge in GPS training mode, 50 hours in Ultra-Trac mode and six weeks in watch mode. It features a PVD coated Black case with nylon strap or silicone band. Finally, there are lots of apps available for the tactix, with more coming all of the time.
For my friends interested in purchasing Garmin products, I always recommend Strohman Enterprise. They’ll take great care of you, offering preferred pricing to Law Enforcement, Military, and Government Customers.
(Wilsonville, OR)—Crimson Trace, the world’s leader in establishing laser sights as standard equipment on all concealed-carry and personal defense firearms, continues to expand its green laser sights category. In fact, the Wilsonville, Oregon based manufacturer now offers more green laser sights than all of its competitors—combined.
The recent release of Crimson Trace’s Lasergrips® LG-350G with the advanced ShockStop™—designed for Smith & Wesson’s J-frame revolvers—brought the number of Crimson Trace green laser sight products to more than two dozen. And more green laser sights will be released by the company in the months ahead to meet growing consumer demands and customer requests.
Crimson Trace’s new LiNQ®—the world’s first wireless laser and white light system—utilizes a green laser sight along with a bright 300-Lumen LED white light. This product is designed for use on AR/MSR rifles and long guns. Other green products to consider for long guns include the Rail Master Pro® (CMR-204) and Rail Master® (CMR-206). The Rail Master CMR-206 is a compact, lightweight and very bright green laser sight designed for attachment on Weaver and Picatinny rails on handguns and long guns. Yet another option that will provide a green laser sight, along with a white light, is the rugged MVF-515G.
Crimson Trace also recently released the Laserguard® LG-489G (green) that is designed to fit the poplar Smith &Wesson M&P Shield pistol. This product is now offered with a Blade-Tech holster at a savings to the customer. The LG-489G green laser is activated by Crimson Trace’s patented Instinctive Activation™ via a pressure touch pad located under the trigger guard.
Crimson Trace also offers the Laserguard® LG-469G—a green laser sight engineered for Springfield Armory’s XD-S pistol. Another green laser product, the Laserguard LG-443G, is created for a precision fit onto Glock’s popular Model 42/43 pistols. Both of those products are also available with Blade Tech holsters as a pre-assembled package from Crimson Trace
February 10, 2016 (Redmond, WA) – Marine Corps Systems Command has selected B.E. Meyers & Co. as their sole source for the Ocular Interruption Program. The GLARE® RECOIL employs a dazzling laser to hail and warn potential threats while implementing escalation of force procedures. Commanders have a single, non-lethal hail and warning capable device to use across the range of Marine Corp military operations.
The GLARE® RECOIL represents the culmination of a decade of technological development used to create the safest and most effective ocular interruption laser in the world. The GLARE® RECOIL features pioneering EyeSafe® technology with the latest advancements in automatic power control.
The GLARE® RECOIL uses a 250mW maximum output power source, while its safety control design establishes the laser safety classification as a 2M laser system by using a Laser Range Finder (LRF), Near Field Detector (NFD), and 3-axis Gyroscope. This approach to laser safety in an ocular interruption device is unique to the B.E. Meyers design. The green beam is always effectively regulated by SmartRange™ technology and eye safety is sustained through controlling the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) on target.
“We set out to develop a system to provide a distinct tactical advantage for today’s Marine.” stated B.E. Meyers President Matt Meyers. “The GLARE® RECOIL system does just that by offering a weapons-mounted or hand-held dazzling laser that can be employed during Escalation of Force (EoF) situations. Tactical decisions have strategic consequences, which is why integrating green laser hail and warning capability into both land and maritime based EOF measures is critical for safe, effective response at all ranges”.
B.E. Meyers has made multiple successful deliveries to MARCORSYSCOM on an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a total budget of $49MM. In September 2015, B.E. Meyers became the sole source awardee for MARCORSYSCOM’s Ocular Interruption Program, contract number M67854-14-D-1040.
Developed by Ace Electronics, this battery box was developed as a remote power source for OASYS IR Sensor customers who can’t access CR123As. Instead, it accepts 4 lithium or alkaline AA batteries and not only can be used in lieu of the 123s but will also extend the life of an OASYS optic by about 4.5 hours. Tye battery paxk mounts to a Mil Std 1913 rail and is waterproof.
Available through Unifire and other authorized dealers.
It’s been a while since we last posted anything on the MOHOC Elite Ops Camera, and while nothing has changed with the camera itself, there are two new updates worth covering. First, it’ll be available for general purchase very soon; we were told approximately within a week after SHOT. Until now, sales have generally been restricted to Military and Law Enforcement. The second announcement is MOHOC is working on developing a line of accessories for the Elite Ops Camera.
This is the Flat Surface Mount. This mount not only accounts for the curvature of the MOHOC camera, providing a flat surface for the camera to sit on, but it also features a 1/4″ thread and two mounting sockets on the bottom.
This mount mates with any accessories which utilize a 1/4″ screw, such as the generic miniature tripod seen below:
MOHOC also developed a KeyMod compatible attachment system which mates with the mounting sockets on the flat mount, allowing for users to attach the Elite Ops Camera to their weapon.
MOHOC also developed this GoPro mount-compatible adapter, due to the wide availability GoPro accessories on the market, and their wide adoption.
What you see below is a Dog mount for the MOHOC, which is worn like a collar and positions the the camera right between the dog’s ears.
Below is a shoulder strap adapter, which attaches to a shoulder strap on a pack or armor carrier.
Finally, MOHOC has developed a nylon carrying case for the Elite Ops Camera.
Additionally, MOHOC has been working on an accessory door which features cut outs for the HDMI and USB ports inside the Elite Ops Camera.
Crimson Trace’s LiNQ laser light is a weapon light and laser combo designed specifically for use with AR-15 pattern rifles. It consists of two components, the LiNQ Grip and LiNQ Module . The LiNQ Grip is constructed of waterproof polymer, and features an instinctive activation button on the front which allows users to wirelessly activate the Module, which is capable of producing a Green Laser and a 300 lumen LED white light. Users can choose between four modes of activation:
– Laser + Light
– Laser Only
– Light Only
– Laser + Light Strobe
The LiNQ features a battery life of 2 hours of continuous use; the grip is powered by a single CR2 battery, while the module is powered by a single CR123 battery.
FirstSpear has introduced a Soft Harness for Visual Augmentation Systems (NVGs). It features an adjustable chinstrap with Team Wendy’s dial at the rear as well as a Wilcox shroud.
I really like the padding at the brown and the skull cap for the rear of the head to keep it in place.
