New LANTAC Sight On Laser (SOL) Front Sight Post For EOTech OGL

Monday, April 14th, 2025

OGL INTRODUCTION:

The design for the EOTECH On-Gun Laser (OGL) focuses on human performance factors under extreme stress creating thepremium choice for professional users. The OGL Standard Power (restricted to MIL/LE use) is powered by a single CR123 battery providing up to 9 hours of continuous run time. The machined aluminum housing provides extreme durability in a compact package roughly the size of a standard deck of playing cards.

The IR illuminator utilizes a high performing Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) diode creating a clean beam and allowing quick adjustments from spot to flood. The ergonomic (patent pending) lever is unique to the OGL and allows professionals to adjust their illumination needs instantly, all while maintaining superior situational awareness.

LANTAC SOL (Sight On Laser):

The Patent Pending SOL™ (Sight On Laser) is designed to solve rail space issues when mounting backup sights and Laser Illuminators or Laser Aiming Modules (LAMs). It is manufactured to mount directly to the Eotech OGL.

The OGL is an ideal candidate for direct attachment as it features an aluminum chassis and four T10 Torx head screws that retain the unit’s lens covers. These can be utilized to form a robust attachment point for a backup front sight.

By mounting directly to the Laser/Illuminator, the maximum amount of rail space is retained for the operator’s convenience. The device can be mounted to the top rail as far forward as the rail permits, leaving space for other equipment and furniture—even on the shortest carbine configurations. This increases the backup sight radius and improves aiming accuracy.

The sight has minimal forward projection from the LAM and features an angled front face to reduce potential snagging.

MAXIMUM RAIL SPACE, MAXIMUM SIGHT RADIUS:

On a 10.5” Handguard the SOL allows for a 16.5” Sight Radius and 6.0” of available rail as compared to a traditional folding sight that delivers a shorter sight radius of 15.25” with only 3.5” of rail left available to the operator.

IR ILLUMINATOR SPILL, SIDE:

Observed through a PVS14 White Phosphor NVM.

Traditional folding sights produce a brighter highlight signature with increased light spill over the weapons handguard.

The Lantac SOL produces a much more diffuse highlight signature with less overall illumination spill.

IR ILLUMINATOR SPILL, HIGH READY:

Observed through a PVS14 White Phosphor NVM.

Traditional Folding Sights when deployed produce a considerably brighter illumination signature as compared to the Lantac SOL.

IR ILLUMINATOR SPILL, SPOT & FLOOD:

Observed through a PVS14 White Phosphor NVM.

Regardless of the OGL’s illuminator beam angle the Lantac SOL demonstrates minimal IR spill signature.

With departments across the USA requiring backup sights to be fitted to duty weapons’ rails, space is at a premium. Many users are forced to mount LAMs on the side of handguards, where they increase snagging potential, take up valuable grip and illumination mounting space, and cause convergence issues by not aligning properly with the weapon’s optics. In the case of the OGL, side mounting also makes operation of the illuminator divergence lever more problematic.

The rear surface of the SOL mates to the front face of the OGL and acts as a massive recoil lug, reducing stress on the fixingscrews. The parts are in continuous contact and therefore act as one complete assembly.

The sight is supplied with two specially manufactured ‘extended’ Torx screws that support the rubber lens covers and anchor the sight to the OGL chassis.

FLEXIBLE & DEPENDABLE:

The SOL’s unique design provides a fully adjustable front sight that takes up no rail space. It uses a standard AR15/M16/M4 sight post that offers 1.250 MOA of adjustment per quarter turn and 5 MOA per full revolution. The design includes a standard drain hole below the sight post channel and positions the channel at the correct 2.357” over bore, exactly as you would find in a traditional triangle FSB (Front Sight Base) with the same elevation adjustment range.

Any aftermarket post (such as tritium) can be installed should the user desire.

Absolute or Lower 3rd co-witness can be achieved through the choice of optics height, and the system offers full redundancy should both the optic and laser fail.

MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING:

Precision machined from certified 7075-T6 Aerospace alloy and Hardcoat Anodized to MIL-A-8625 Type III Hardcoat, Class 2, Black.

SIGNATURE REDUCTION:

Satin black finished to reduce IR light reflectance.

Forward position reduces IR illumination spill on exposed surfaces.

KEY FEATURES:

• Optimizes Rail Space
• Low ISS (Illuminator Spill Signature)
• Robust Mechanical Attachment
• Longer Sight Radius
• Full Elevation Adjustment
• Compatible with all Sight Post upgrades.
• Sight Post drainage hole.
• Certified Aerospace Grade Materials for full traceability.

Rotapoint SANCHO Mount, Achieve True Heads-Up Shooting

Thursday, April 10th, 2025

In the quest for a true “heads-up” shooting position with Night Observation Devices (NODs), mounts fall short. Traditional risers only adjust the Y-axis (height) of your red dot, leaving the X-axis (lateral alignment) untouched. This forces you to turn your head to align with the optic, slowing your target acquisition, straining your neck, and breaking your natural point of aim. We saw the problem—and we fixed it.

Introducing the SANCHO™ Mount, the first red dot riser designed to adjust the X-axis for a faster, more comfortable, and natural alignment with or without NODs. Engineered for shooters who demand speed and precision in all situations, the SANCHO Mount ensures your red dot aligns easily with your natural point of aim, reducing neck strain and letting you focus on the target, reticle, and trigger.

Why SANCHO Changes the Game

Unlike other mounts on the market, the SANCHO Mount optimizes lateral and vertical placement to complement your natural point of aim. By fine-tuning the X-axis, SANCHO positions your red dot exactly where your eyes naturally look when using NODs—no more awkward head-turning or compromised cheek weld. Whether you’re conducting night operations, hunting in low-light conditions, or training with night vision, the SANCHO Mount delivers speed and comfort.

Key Features

X-Axis Offset: Adjusts the lateral position of your red dot up to align with your natural head position, ensuring a true heads-up posture with NODs.

Optimized for Night Vision: Designed specifically for use with NODs, providing a comfortable sight picture without excessive neck dip or rotation. Additionally, it aids with target acquisition while wearing a protective mask.

Durable Construction: Machined from 7075-T651 aluminum with a hard coat-anodized finish, built to withstand the toughest conditions.

Proudly Made in the USA.

Universal Compatibility: Fits all Picatinny rails and red dot mounts.

Parallel Zero: if you can adjust your point of aim at various distances, you’ll learn how to aim just slightly laterally with consistent and predictable point of impact.

Light weight: Under 3 ounces, with rigid I-beam design and premium material.

Reversible for left and right hand use.  If you shoot with your non-dominant hand, simply cant the rifle.  Uses minimal upper receiver space while providing full mounting surface for EOTech XPS, Aimpoint Pro, etc. 

Benefits:

Faster Target Acquisition: Align your red dot with your natural point of aim for quicker, more instinctive aiming, particularly in low-light scenarios.

Reduced Neck Strain: Minimize head-turning and maintain a comfortable posture, even during extended operations with NODs.

Enhanced Comfort: Achieve a consistent cheek weld and heads-up position, improving situational awareness, with reduced fatigue.

Tactical Advantage: Stay focused on your surroundings with a sight picture that works with your body’s natural alignment.

Versatility: Ideal for all shooters, but particularly military, law enforcement, hunters, and tactical enthusiasts using night vision setups. Also assists greatly with gas mask and face shield use.

Strike Industries Strike A2 Blast Shield

Tuesday, April 1st, 2025

Las Vegas, Nevada — Strike Industries has released a new Concussion Reduction Device, the Strike A2 Blast Shield, which directly attaches onto any A2 Flash Hider muzzle device (chambered for either 5.56mm or 9mm).

Similar to the Original Oppressor, the A2 Blast Shield is installed via rotating the device to tighten onto its internal detents after slipping it over an A2 muzzle device.

Its purpose is to redirect and reduce concussive blasts from live fire. The A2 Blast Shield also has six ports to help retain the birdcage’s natural flash suppression and compensating qualities. With its unique fork locking design, this Blast Shield includes a safety mechanism that allows for the fork to stay locked and secured even if the device has not been fully tensioned.

The A2 Blast Shield was inspired by Strike’s development of its Oppressors as this product was designed to solve a looming problem of aging military, government, and law enforcement agencies’ armories: With many AR-15 and M4-style rifles getting older, many of these entities have been forced to retire their old inventories to update with newer platforms which can be costly.

As a more cost effective solution, the Strike A2 Blast Shield is retailing for only $99.95 MSRP.

Opting for this quick upgrade is an easy decision to reduce and redirect concussive blasts not only making for a better shooting experience but it can also improve communication on the ground between officers or soldiers when in a live fire environment.

Being able to retain more situational awareness when training or engaging threats would be a boon to those in the line of duty. Civilian gun owners can also benefit from this enhanced shooting experience on the firing line both indoors and out.

For interested law enforcement agencies, please reach out to us for T&E requests or for bulk purchasing for your department via sales@strikeindustries.com. For media requests, please reach out to mkt@strikeindustries.com.
