Streamlight Launches High-Candela Model of ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount

Thursday, January 30th, 2025

Rechargeable Weapon Light Has Nearly Five Times the Candela Output of Previous Model

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 29, 2024 – Streamlight®Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, launched the ProTac® 2.0 Rail Mount HP (high performance) light which delivers up to 2,000 lumens of blinding white light and 85,000 candela for illuminating targets at a distance, nearly five times the candela output of the original ProTac® 2.0 Rail Mount. The new weapon light is powered by a Streamlight SL-B50® battery pack that charges via an integrated USB-C port.

The light uses a rugged, integrated rail clamp that easily and securely attaches to weapons with a MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rail, M-LOK®, or M-LOK compatible rail systems. It has a multi-function push-button tail switch for momentary or constant on operation and three selectable user programs. An optional remote switch is available in momentary only and momentary/latching versions. Both the push-button tactical and remote pressure switches allow for one-handed operation of the momentary, variable intensity, or strobe modes.

“The new ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount HP is an exceptional light, because it is not only high-lumen, but also features a high-candela beam for long-range lighting needs,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Whether lighting up the end of a dark alley or outdoor path, or using it to conduct search and rescue operations or other maneuvers under low-light conditions, it’s a powerful tactical tool for law enforcement professionals, military personnel, and outdoor users alike.”

Featuring the latest in LED technology, the ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount HP offers three settings – high, low, and strobe. On High, it provides 2,000 lumens, 85,000 candela and a beam distance of 583 meters. On Low, it delivers 250 lumens, 11,500 candela and a 214-meter beam distance. Run times range from 2.5 hours on high to 11 hours on low; in strobe mode, it runs for 4.5 hours. The light also features a TEN-TAP® programmable switch that allows for user selection of the light’s three different operating programs: high/strobe (factory default), high only, or low/high.

The ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount HP uses an SL-B50 Streamlight protected Li-Ion USB rechargeable battery pack, accessed by the light’s sliding sleeve. The battery is keyed to ensure proper alignment of the charging port, and features LED status lights to indicate charge status, including red for charging and green for fully charged. An integrated safety circuit protects the battery from accidental overcharge or discharge.

Fabricated from 6000 series machined aluminum with a Type II MIL-Spec black anodized finish, the light features a glass lens with anti-reflective coating that is gasket sealed. It measures 6.30 inches in length and weighs 9.06 ounces with an included Streamlight SL-B50 rechargeable battery.

The new light is IP67-rated for dust-tight and waterproof operation to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It features an impact-resistant construction and is also 2-meter impact resistance tested.

The ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount HP has an MSRP that ranges from $251.00 to $305.00 depending on the configuration and comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

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.

Franklin Armory’s New Binary Trigger for FN SCAR

Friday, January 17th, 2025

The New SKR-C1 Gives FN SCAR® Owners the Longed-for Ability to Fire on Both the Pull and Release Functions of The Venerable Gas Piston Semiautomatic Rifle

MINDEN, Nev. – January 16, 2025 – Franklin Armory, Inc., one of America’s most innovative manufacturers of firearms and accessories, announced today the latest model in the patented Binary Firing System® lineup. The new SKR-C1 is Franklin Armory’s first Binary® trigger for the popular FN SCAR®. Now, FN SCAR owners can experience the thrill of shooting in Binary mode that hundreds of thousands of Americans have come to enjoy on many other firearm platforms.

“From social media engagements to customer surveys, the FN SCAR consistently ranked among the most requested platforms for our next Binary trigger design,” said Franklin Armory President Jay Jacobson. “Our engineers enthusiastically pursued this project and did a fantastic job of adapting our Binary technology to the renowned SCAR platform.”

Franklin Armory’s new SKR-C1 provides the same three-position selectable functionality found in all of its Binary® triggers for rifles and pistol caliber carbines: Position One, safe; Position Two, traditional semiautomatic; Position Three, Binary®. In Binary mode, a single round is fired when the trigger is pulled and a single round is fired when the trigger is released. One of the Binary Firing System’s revered safety features is the ability to cancel the release round by simply moving the integrated selector switch from Binary® to the “semi” or “safe” position before releasing the trigger. More information on the operation of the Binary Firing System can be viewed in the video “How Binary® Works.”

MSRP for the new SKR-C1 Binary Trigger for FN SCAR is $499.99. Franklin Armory anticipates shipping the SKR-C1 before end of the first quarter 2025.
