Shadow Tech Launches New 4 Section Tripod

Tuesday, September 29th, 2026

The 4 Section Carbon Fiber Tripod NCT-PIGlite-CF4 is the next evolution of the tried-and-true PIGlite-CF4. Proudly built in the USA and upgraded based on years of professional experience and user feedback.

Designed for backpackers, outdoorsmen, and end-users who don’t have the luxury to take a follow-up shot. Refusing to compromise between weight and durability, the NCT-PIGlite-CF4 carries forward everything that made the original field tripod a success and refines core features through precision manufacturing & engineering.

Stability on Demand

When the window of opportunity presents itself, there’s no time to second guess your shooting position. The NCT-PIGlite-CF4 delivers benchrest stability the moment you need it. No sticks, bags, or extra leg, just a stable platform that keeps your reticle on target. Utilizing an overlapping pattern of Toray unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber, we’ve created the optimal balance of strength, rigidity, & weight reduction.

Tripod to Ball Head Fusion

Featuring a semi-permanent interlocking gear mount for the TH-1.4 ball head, this tripod is engineered as one seamless tripod system. No more worrying if your ball head pans loose in the field.

A Shooter’s Companion

From glassing distant hillsides to building a stable position in a tight, confined space, the NCT-PIGlite-CF4 was built to reduce shooter variables and increase 1st round confidence.

Features:

American made, TAA compliant, manufactured in Kansas City, USA
A half pound lighter than the original PIGlite-CF4 (3.0 lbs)
Load rating nearly tripled to 70 lbs
Toray unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber legs
CNC machined aluminum leg lock levers. Durable, adjustable, & cold weather rated.
Monolithic stop caps replace the internal leg stop shims found on standard tripods, drastically improving leg service life
Four-position independent leg splay (0°, 25°, 45°, 85°) lock closed at 0° to prevent inadvertent splay during transport
Interlocking gear mount creates a semi-permanent connection with the TH-1.4 ball head that won’t rotate loose in the field
Hard-anodized aluminum (FDE & OD Green), and painted carbon legs (OD Green)
Includes urethane feet (installed) and 304 stainless steel spiked feet
Three built-in swivel studs for sling attachment, plus an optional load-bearing hook position

SIG SAUER KILO Micro LRF

Monday, September 28th, 2026

They really pulled out all the stops during last week’s SIG NEXT event, but of all of the new products, my favorite is the smallest.

I first saw it in a photo with no frame of reference for its size. Turns out, it’s truly palm sized. Below you can see it next to the WARP, SIG’s full featured LRF.

It started out as an archery LRF but proved to be much more versatile and they’ve added eight onboard firearm ballistic groups to the archery setting.

Weighing just 3.4 ounces, this small, handheld laser range finder features a 4x18mm Monocular can which range past the 1000 yards promised by SIG using their GEN II LIGHTWAVE DSP.

KILO Micro relies on a rechargeable battery for up to 3,000 ranges per charge. They’ve included a QDI magnetic harness mount but I’m trying to figure out a way to mount it to coaxially to a weapon mounted optic.

Top all of that off with an IP67 waterproof rating and $249.99 MSRP and I’d recommend everyone pick one up.

Forward Controls Design Introduces OPF-G6 Optics Plates for Glock Gen 6 ORS

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026

Forward Controls Design has released the first models in its OPF-G6 family of heavy-duty optic plates for Glock Gen 6 pistols equipped with the Optic Ready System (ORS).

FCD was not first to market with Gen 6 optic plates, but that was never the objective. Additional development time was spent refining the interface, material selection, tolerances, and installation rather than compromising the design for an earlier release.

Glock’s Gen 6 optic system is a significant departure from the previous MOS system. Instead of a conventional flat mounting surface, ORS uses an insert that interfaces with an hourglass-shaped pocket machined into the slide, with a rear locking tab providing additional retention.

OPF-G6 was designed specifically around those features. The underside of each plate fills the ORS pocket and engages the rear locking tab. Because the plate enters the pocket at an angle before falling into position, FCD also refined the front bevel to allow the plate to seat smoothly during installation.

All OPF-G6 plates are machined from 17-4 stainless steel and finished in black nitride. The steel construction allows the plate’s mechanical interfaces to resist movement and deformation while managing recoil through engagement with the ORS pocket rather than relying on the optic screws.

For OPF-G6, RMR, FCD also evaluated a full-width design that eliminated the need for a sealing plate with the original RMR, but it added approximately 0.070 inches of height. Since the RMR HD, RCR, and SRO do not require a sealing plate, FCD retained the lower mounting height.

The OPF-G6 family currently includes:

OPF-G6, RMR: Trijicon RMR, RMR HD, RCR, SRO, and Primary Arms HTX-1 with its supplied adapter.

OPF-G6, ACRO: Aimpoint ACRO P2 and Steiner MPS.

OPF-G6, DPP: Leupold DeltaPoint Pro and EOTech EFLX.

OPF-G6 plates are available now from Forward Controls Design and authorized FCD dealers.

ISTEC Celebrates Over 80,000 Weapon Mounts and Ancillaries Sold Globally Since the First DVD in 2001

Thursday, September 17th, 2026

ISTEC Services Ltd is a British company with nearly 4 decades of operationally proven experience in the design, manufacture and supply of complex weapon mount integration solutions, smoke dischargers and other ancillaries, such as weapon stowage, for military platforms across the Land, Sea and Air domains globally.

At this, the 18th DVD event since the inaugural event in 2001, ISTEC is celebrating the sale of over 80,000 weapon mounts and ancillaries to enhance the force protection and firepower capabilities of military platforms around the world. Having exhibited at 15 of 17 events in the past, ISTEC will be displaying a range of its products, including its ring mount, swing arm and universal gun mount fitted to a Fering Pioneer X vehicle on Stand SP-01. At DVD you will also find ISTEC products fitted to various vehicles on the GM Defence (OR-10), Supacat (OR-27), GD Land Systems (OR-32), Babcock (OR-20), Fering (OR-38), Polaris (OR-28) and Ricardo (OR-18) stands.

ISTEC has a long pedigree and operationally proven record of supplying high-quality weapon mounts to the British military, with mounts fitted to a wide range of platforms currently in service, including Land Rover RWMIK, Jackal, Coyote, Foxhound, Husky, Mastiff, Ridgeback, Wolfhound, Viking and MLRS. ISTEC mounts are specifically designed to maximise individual vehicle survivability with wide arcs of fire and recoil reduction to increase flexibility with common mounting solutions, so users can quickly and easily switch between mounted weapon systems.

ISTEC has also recently been awarded a four-year contract for the supply of weapon mount spares across all three services via the Babcock ‘Service Provision and Transformation Contract’ (SPTC), so the MOD has the necessary infrastructure and support services to enhance and maintain its existing capability.

ISTEC products are platform, OEM and weapon agnostic. Combined with having a UK-centric supplier and manufacturing base (consisting of over 70 vetted suppliers), ISTEC is extremely well placed to support the upcoming LMP contract and the UK economy, by creating and sustaining local skilled employment.

Mick Coulson, Managing Director at ISTEC said, “We are very pleased to be celebrating this significant milestone at the 18th DVD, and it is very rewarding to see this global recognition of our product quality. We are also very proud of our ongoing support of the UK Armed Forces and our commitment to its wider community via our Silver Covenant award last year, support to veteran employees and sponsorship of military charities such as Legion 7s and the Royal British Legion.”
