Strike Industries Releases the XA Handguard for SIG SAUER CROSS

Friday, February 7th, 2025

Strike Industries has just released the X-Axis Handguard for the SIG Cross bolt action rifle. In pure Strike fashion, the Strike XA is a sleek and extremely functional handguard that functions as a direct OEM replacement – it even reuses the original screws from SIG’s handguard.

With a 2 piece design, the top picatinny rail of the receiver no longer needs to be removed in order to remove the handguard. This also enables the user to be able to maintain their rifle without removing their optic which saves the need for re-zeroing as often.

All around the handguard M-LOK slots can be found at the 3, 6, 9, 10, and 2 o’clock positions. There 4 steel QD sling points in total on the handguard. The two QD points closest to the receiver are anti-rotational. At the front of the handguard there is a picatinny front bridge for additional accessories such as a laser, IR, or thermal device.

The key feature of the Strike XA Handguard is its built-in ARCA rail at the 6 o’clock position which spans the entire length of the handguard. Avid lightweight backpacker hunters can now have a SIG Cross rifle that is not only stowable, ergonomic, but also ready to be mounted onto a tripod at a moment’s notice.

Even without a tripod, the wider flat surface area on the bottom of the handguard makes for an even more easily stabilized shooting experience when mounted on top of tables or other objects.

The Strike XA Handguard serves to elevate aesthetics and increase functional performance with users’ SIG CROSS rifles. Now available through authorized dealers and Strike Industries’ official website. For more information, visit www.strikeindustries.com or contact the Strike Team at mkt@strikeindustries.com.

Strike Industries Releases a New Concussion Reduction Device: The Oppressor LITE V2

Wednesday, February 5th, 2025

Strike Industries is proud to introduce the latest evolution in concussion reduction technology—the Strike Oppressor Lite V2. Designed to deliver high performance in a lightweight package, the Oppressor Lite V2 provides shooters with a no-compromise solution for gas redirection and recoil management.

Weighing in at only 5 ounces, the Oppressor Lite V2 is nearly half the weight of the original Oppressor (9.5 oz.), offering enhanced maneuverability without sacrificing durability. Installation has also been streamlined, requiring only half the amount of rotations compared to the original model, allowing for rapid attachment and removal from your muzzle device.

The inner core of the Oppressor Lite V2 is crafted from hardened steel, while the outer shell is constructed from lightweight aluminum. This innovative design includes 18 strategically placed venting holes, preventing carbon lock and ensuring seamless operation.

The Strike Oppressor series represents the finest in Concussion Reduction Devices on the market, and the Lite V2 is a natural evolution of this technology. With its hybrid design, the Oppressor Lite V2 serves as the little brother to the original Oppressor while drawing inspiration from the Oppressor Universal, giving users the best of both worlds.

The Oppressor family of muzzle devices is engineered to redirect gas pressure produced by aggressive brakes and compensators. Advanced internal geometry actively draws gases out and thrusts them forward through vents, delivering efficient linear braking. This design is particularly beneficial for shooters transitioning into prone positions, training indoors, or operating in close-quarters environments where minimizing side blast is critical.

The Strike Oppressor Lite V2 is now available through authorized dealers and Strike Industries’ official website. For more information, visit www.strikeindustries.com or contact the Strike Team at mkt@strikeindustries.com.

Tech Ten Tactical – B5 SOPMOD Stock Insert

Thursday, January 30th, 2025

I was recently introduced to Tech Ten Tactical’s line of weapon accessories. They’ve got quite a lineup but I’d like to start with a great accessory for the B5 SOPMOD stock.

The patented B5 Enhanced SOPMOD Stock Insert adds another QD attachment point to your B5 Enhanced SOPMOD Stock. It’s simple to install.

The Swinger Sling Mount makes it easy to transition from right to left and back thanks to its location on the stock and the fact that it allows the sling mount to rotate around 200° with the Swinger Sling Mount. It also never comes into contact with your hand and isn’t in the way at your cheek when the weapon is shouldered.

Also available as a kit with both the insert and B5 stock.

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.

SureFire’s XC3 Pistol Light

Wednesday, January 29th, 2025

Announced at last week’s SHOT Show, the new XC3 is a great combination of duty and concealed carry capability.

It generates 550 lumens and 7,200 candela of white light output with a Hybrid beam pattern that clearly illuminates the main object of interest while providing substantial spill light to help you remain aware of your surroundings.

The XC3 securely attaches to Universal or Picatinny accessory rails in a form factor compatible with numerous commercially available holsters already on the market. Fueled by a front-loading, readily available 123A lithium battery, it offers long runtime and easy battery changes without removing the weaponlight from the firearm. Like all SureFire handgun lights, the XC3 is designed with intuitive, ambidextrous switching that provides a positive tactile feel for unmatched control in momentary- or constant-on mode.

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.
