Unity Tactical Launches REKE Scope Mount at SHOT Show 2025

Thursday, January 23rd, 2025

UNITY™ Tactical, a designer of components that integrate tactical systems and optimize the human factor, unveiled its first ever mount built specifically for intermediate- to long-range rifle optics and precision weapon systems at SHOT Show 2025.

UNITY also announced that its line of AXON™ and AXON SL switches are now compatible with select Streamlight® models, including the TLR® RM 1, TLR® RM 2, ProTac® Rail Mount HL-X Pro, ProTac® 2.0 Rail Mount, the TLR-1® and TLR-2® with a remote switch tailcap, and the newly released ProTac® Rail Mount HP-X Pro Long Gun Light.

Developed as part of a SOF requirement, the REKE™ scope mount places 30, 34 and 35mm scopes at a 1.54” optical centerline from the rail. This height optimizes the host optic for common in-line night vision devices.

“This is the first time UNITY has designed a mount that places an optic lower than two inches from the optical centerline,” said Mike Roth, vice president of business development for UNITY Tactical. “While it affords the same strength in material and design, REKE™ sits outside our FAST™ line because its lower height of 1.54” supports a different type of shooting.”

REKE’s modular design allows for capability expansion in the form of three optional accessories. A diving board, or modular Picatinny top rail, can replace the front top ring to house a laser range finder.

An MRDS Top Ring for REKE can be paired with a FAST Optic Adapter Plate to mount a variety of micro red dot sights in the 12 o’clock position.

REKE is also compatible with the FAST Offset Optic Base that places micro red dot sights at a 36 degree offset from the centerline of the optic mount. When used with a FAST Optic Adapter Plate, the micro red dot will have a mechanical centerline of 2.05” above the rail.

“While our FAST line primarily supports gunfighting and competition shooting, REKE is really the first mount we’ve made intentionally for precision, intermediate- to long-range shooting,” said Josh Greco, president and co-founder of UNITY Tactical. “As we continue to build and expand our product lines, we take a systems approach to enhance the capabilities of these technical devices to support multiple platforms and shooting preferences.”

REKE is made of type III hardcoat anodized 7075-T6 aluminum. It comes standard with a 3 cross bolt rail clamp and is available in black or FDE. It includes a lifetime warranty and retails for $369. Diving Board for REKE retails at $189 and MRDS Top Ring for REKE retails for $67.

REKE is on display for the first time at the UNITY Tactical booth #61503 in the law enforcement ballrooms at SHOT Show 2025 now through Friday. It is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers and on unitytactical.com.

Banged by a Shot at SHOT: “Flaskbang”

Thursday, January 23rd, 2025

Here’s something a little different and kind of cool. Lots of people make special morale patches and decals to hand out or trade at SHOT Show. This year instead of  my friend David Reeder from Breach-Bang-Clear teamed up with a company called Bad Moon Armory to pass out little flashbang-shaped whiskey flasks.

The body is a food-grade medal with 3D printed caps. The spoon is also polymer, but the pin is metal. You can pull the pin if you want, but you don’t have to. You just unscrew the top to get at the bourbon inside.

Or the Old Fashioned, though there’s not a lot of room for a cherry or orange peel.

As you can see, it’s fairly realistic looking. In fact, one of people who they banged at SHOT had an unexpected encounter with LVMPD when housekeeping reported he had a “grenade” in his room.

If you run into one of the B-B-C gang at SHOT, or someone they’ve banged, you can use the QR code on the label.

If you don’t manage to nab one by “getting banged” at SHOT Shot, you can order one without the labeling at Bad Moon Armory.

SHOT Show 25 – SureFire Fast-Attach Hub

Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025

Designed to bring unparalleled versatility to suppressor systems, the new SureFire Fast-Attach hub converts 1 3/8-24 direct-thread suppressors and accessories into Quick Detach (QD) systems, making them directly compatible with SureFire’s patented Fast-Attach SOCOM muzzle devices.

Users can effortlessly attach a HUB suppressor by sliding it over the SureFire muzzle adapter, indexing on the built-in slot, and securing it with the lock ring at the base. The result? A secure, repeatable, and hassle-free attachment that stands up to even the most demanding environments. The Fast-Attach Hub is the only HUB suppressor mount on the market that mimics the SureFire SOCOM adapter- suppressor interface.

Key Features of the SureFire Fast-Attach Hub:

Converts 1 3/8-24 direct-thread suppressors and accessories to SureFire’s QD system for universal compatibility.

Provides a secure, tool-free connection to SOCOM muzzle devices to simplify your firearm setup.

Simple slide-and-lock mechanism ensures quick and reliable attachment.

The Fast-Attach Hub is not an NFA device and is available wherever SureFire products are sold, without any of the restrictions associated with suppressors.

The Fast-Attach Hub is set to launch at the end of Q1 and will be available through your local SureFire dealer.

TNVC Announces New Partnership with Swift Universal Optical Systems, Introduces FPG-21 Low Profile Night Vision Goggle Mount

Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025

Las Vegas, Nevada—

Since 2005 TNVC has sought to provide the best and most advanced mission and end-user focused products, technology, and systems integration solutions in the Visual Augmentation Systems (VAS) space to warfighters, law enforcement, and private citizens alike, which has led to numerous partnerships with industry-leading innovators.

TNVC is excited to announce our latest such partnership with Swift Universal Optical Systems and to introduce the Swift Universal FPG-21 Low Profile Night Vision Goggle Mount! The FPG-21 is no minor evolution of already-existing commercial off the shelf (COTS) NVG mounting solutions but an almost complete re-imagining of the NVG helmet mount and is on display at the 2025 NSSF SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the TNVC Booth #62211 in the Galilieo ballroom on the first floor of the Venetian Expo Center.

Originally funded through a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant in 2019 at the request of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and developing into an active Program of Record, the FPG-21 sought to improve the stow angle of NVG helmet mounts to reduce torque and acute and potentially chronic, long term neck injuries in end-users, particularly when used with more advanced but heavier next generation headborne systems such as panoramic and fused goggle systems, and particularly the F-PANO Fusion Panoramic Goggle by moving the goggle’s center of gravity (COG) to a more neutral position when stowed.

The FPG-21’s improved stow angle rotates the goggle’s orientation almost 180obackwards, nearly sitting flat across the top of the helmet, placing the goggle’s COG lower and further to the rear than traditional BNVS helmet mounting solutions while Swift Universal’s patented “Tilt Agnostic Stow” ensures that no matter how the end-user adjusts the goggle’s tilt in the deployed position, the goggle will always stow at the optimum angle to reduce forward torque.

Taken together, the FPG-21’s unique stow properties not only reduce the risk of neck injury, but also significantly reduced “felt weight” in the stowed position, translating to reduced fatigue and greater comfort during prolonged wear, and increasing end-user performance, capability, and lethality. Moreover, the FPG-21 is exceptionally rigid and clearance for scoped weapons—all while reducing overall weight, resulting in an elegant yet rugged and extremely stable and rigid VAS mounting solution that has been developed and vetted with extensive end-user feedback, evaluation and field testing since the first prototypes were delivered in 2021.

While most users immediately notice the increased rigidity and reduced torque in the stowed position, the Swift Universal FPG-21 also possesses several unique features. Rather than relying on the legacy BNVS shoe, originally designed for the AN/PVS-7A, the FPG-21 relies on a larger and broader shoe design for the goggle-to-mount interface that also serves as an eye-relief adjustment “sled,” while the increased surface area and precision tolerances contribute to the systems notable rigidity. The new shoe / adjustment sled design can either be utilized as a direct replacement for OEM BNVS shoes or with an adapter plate that locks securely to existing, USSOCOM-spec BNVS shoes like those on the AN/PVS-31A, GPNVG, and F-BINO systems, requiring no modification to the goggle.

The FPG-21 interfaces directly with the Ops-Core Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS) included on the USSOCOM-standard FTHS helmet, featuring a new, interlocking, travel-limited adjustment system that serves as both the mount’s elevation adjustment and allows the mount to be completely removed from the helmet and dispensing with the legacy “universal” mounting interface used since the AN/PVS-7 and further increasing the system’s rigidity.

The FPG-21 is also fully environmentally sealed, meeting or exceeding MIL-STD-810H standards. The main assembly is machined from 7075 aluminum and Type III Hard-Coat anodized, while the internal mechanisms are machined from hardened corrosion resistant Stainless Steel and Grade 5 Titanium, resulting in an extremely strong but also lightweight system.  Weighing just 118 grams (not including goggle adapter plate or shroud) the FPG-21 is manufactured and assembled in-house at Swift Universal Optical Systems’ state-of-the-art facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

The Swift Universal Optical Systems FPG-21 Low Profile NVG Mount  will be available through TNVC to government, law enforcement, commercial dealers, and individual retail customers, with deliveries expected to begin in Q3 2025 with an estimated MSRP in the $1,500 range (inclusive of goggle adapter / direct-mount shoe) and interested parties are encouraged to contactgovsales@tnvc.com or dealersales@tnvc.com. Commercial pre-order details will be forthcoming shortly.

The FPG-21 is on display at the 2025 NSSF SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the TNVC Booth #62211 in the Galilieo ballroom on the first floor of the Venetian Expo Center.

Founded in 2005, Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC) is a Veteran-Owned small business which specializes in providing industry-leading visual augmentation systems, modified-COTS solutions, and systems integration as well as training, education, and life-cycle support to government and commercial customers alike.
