Dual Button AXON™ and Single Button AXON™ SL bring ergonomically correct activation angles in smaller footprints
BROUSSARD, LA. (Jan. 10, 2023) – UNITY™ Tactical, a leading innovation and design company for the tactical community, announced today the launch of its newest line of modular electronic switches: AXON™. The AXON line launches with a dual button option – AXON – and a single button option – AXON SL.
AXON allows lights and lasers to fire from individual buttons with versions available for popular issued devices. With one 45-degree angled button and one flat button, its unique design provides tactile differentiation between the two buttons to eliminate confusion in dark, cold and high-stress situations. At only 2.70 inches in length, AXON has the smallest footprint of any dual button switch on the market, taking up less space on the M1913 or M-LOK® rail.
AXON’s light (angled) button features a switch that allows for both momentary and constant activation, while the laser button features a momentary-only button that supports the laser’s double-click-for-constant-on feature. Standard AXON models feature each button firing devices independently. SYNC models fire the laser independently, while the light button will fire both light and laser simultaneously. NGAL variants operate in a SYNC capacity but offer a visible override feature for light and laser.
“AXON is the direct result of customer feedback,” said Mike Roth, VP of business development for UNITY Tactical. “It brings a technically advanced and ergonomically correct solution within a two-button, hard-mounted switch – all in a smaller footprint, giving the end user utmost efficiency in space and capability.”
AXON SL is the even smaller, single button switch in the AXON family. Like AXON’s light button, its 45-degree angled button face provides an ergonomically correct activation angle, making it easy to index under stress, while wearing PPE or facing extreme environmental conditions.
The mechanical switch design allows weapon light models to fire in both momentary and constant-on modes in a familiar click tailcap design. Laser versions utilize a momentary only switch to facilitate use with the native double tap for constant feature found in most common lasers on the market. Dual lead variants are SYNC, firing both light and laser simultaneously.
“We constantly seek to innovate and improve the functionality and durability of our products,” said Trent Zimmer, founder and president of UNITY Tactical. “With each iteration, we aim to make our solutions smaller and more capable. The AXON line of switches is the future of modular electronic switch technology and we’re proud of the additional abilities it provides end users.”
AXON is available in standard (SureFire®/Crane Laser) and SYNC (SureFire/Crane Laser, SureFire/DBAL and SureFire/NGAL) variants in black and FDE for attachment to M1913 and M-LOK rails. It retails between $154.00 and $299.00 depending on the model and is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers and on UNITYtactical.com.
AXON SL is available in single lead (SureFire, Crane Laser and NGAL) and dual lead (SureFire/Crane Laser and SureFire/NGAL) variants in black and FDE for attachment to M1913 rails. It retails between $114.00 and $275.00 depending on the model. AXON SL is available for purchase now through authorized UNITY dealers, with orders shipping starting Feb. 20. It will be available for sale on UNITYtactical.com starting March 1.
AXON and AXON SL will be both be on display at the UNITY Tactical booth #61503 at SHOT Show at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas from Jan. 17-20, 2023.

Gunnison, Utah – (January 4th, 2023) Christensen Arms, manufacturer of state-of-the-art precision firearms and carbon fiber barrels, is pleased to announce they are now offering Flash Forged Technology (FFT) upgrade kits for select original models. Now, not only can customers purchase a Mesa FFT or a Ridgeline FFT, but anyone with an original non-FFT Mesa or Ridgeline can upgrade their firearm using their FFT Upgrade Kits.
“The FFT Upgrade Kit offers everything needed to transform your original Mesa, Ridgeline, or any other Remington 700-based rifle into the ultimate lightweight hunting rifle,” said Kort Nielson, Senior Director of Product Development, Christensen Arms. “Flash Forged Technology represents the latest in carbon fiber manufacturing while retaining the Christensen Arms Sub-MOA Guarantee.”
PUTTING THE FUTURE OF COMPOSITES IN PRACTICE:
Utilizing an aerospace monocoque shell, Flash Forged Technology eliminates unnecessary internal weight. The result is an FFT designed stock that is up to a full pound lighter than traditionally manufactured carbon fiber composite rifle stocks – creating a more consistent shooting foundation while reducing user fatigue in the field. FFT is available exclusively on select Christensen Arms firearms.
TECHNOLOGY THAT SUPPORTS WILDLIFE CONSERVATION:
Over the past 25 years, Christensen Arms has consistently been at the forefront of firearm innovation and wildlife conservation efforts. Flash Forged Technology results in greater environmental sustainability as it was created to save energy and eliminate waste. Utilizing automated processes and virgin recyclable materials, FFT is truly 100% zero-waste manufacturing. Trimmed composites are repurposed into new carbon fiber parts without producing harmful toxins or emissions. This new technology helps support Christensen Arms’ goal of wildlife conservation by reducing our environmental impact and protecting our lands and wildlife for the enjoyment of future generations – all while creating a superior product.
An updated version of Emissary Development’s paddle shifter for the SureFire X300 weapon light is entering production.
They have added a set screw locking feature that gives the paddle shifter a significantly better hold onto the switch armature. This new feature will also makes install easier.
The armature port has also been opened to also aid in a smoother install. It also allows for better quality control during manufacturing.
They’ve also updated the paddle profile.
While nearly all holsters are compatible with the older model there were a handful of Safariland holsters that, due to the overhanging material in the holster opening, made it possible to snag the paddle and were therefore not listed as compatible (without modification) on the holster compatibility list. The new profile tucks the edge of the paddle closer to the frame to prevent any snag issues.
They still will recommend modifying the Safariland holsters to prevent any wear or unwanted contact with the paddle, but they believe this new profile adjustment will have a big difference when it comes to preventing snagging as a whole.
Emissary Development wants customers to know that if you’ve had any previous issues with holster compatibility with your older model they are offering to replace them with this new model. Reach out to their support team and they’ll take care of you.
Introducing the Reptilia® ROF™-90 for Micros in 34mm diameter. The ROF-90 is a drop-in upgrade for the Reptilia AUS™ Mount or Geissele® Super Precision™ 34mm magnified optic mounts.
Originally developed at the request of a user group for a quick transition to a non-magnified optic, the ROF-90 was adds options for close-in target engagement and passive aiming with night vision. The ROF-90 for Micro pattern optics places an optic such as the Aimpoint® T2 or Holosun® Micro pattern optics at 90º (12:00) to add a close-range optic to your magnified scope. Additionally, the Micro pattern optic can be zeroed for use with use with subsonic cartridges such as 300 AAC Blackout, while allocating the magnified optic for use with supersonic ammunition.
Each ROF model is designed to minimize each optic’s distance from the host scope’s centerline, while ensuring enough clearance that the sight picture isn’t obscured.?? ?? The 34mm ROF-90 for Micros is immediately available in MIL-STD Type III, Class 2, hard anodize, Black and Flat Dark Earth.
Compatible with:
Aimpoint® – Micro R-1, H-1, H-2, T-1, T-2, CompM5

Fort Worth, Texas (December 19, 2022) – XS® Sights is pleased to introduce new Lever Rails for Henry Big Boy carbines chambered in .357 Magnum (HN-6001R-N) and .44 Magnum (HN-6002R-N).
The XS Sights Lever Rails are machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and hard coat anodized to provide a lightweight mounting system that is tough enough for a lifetime of service. The rail bolts on to round barrel models of the Henry Big Boy – no gunsmithing required – for a quick, do-it-yourself upgrade. Machined to Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny specifications, the XS Lever Rail extends from the rear of the receiver to the front sight dovetail cut to allow mounting of any optic – red dot, scout scope, or low-powered variable optic (LPVO) – giving you the most versatile mounting platform available.
The XS Sights Lever Rails for the Henry Big Boy carbines are designed for carbines with steel receivers and round barrels. Due to differences in barrel contour, the rails and sights are caliber specific.
The XS Lever Rail will not fit carbines with brass receivers, and it will not fit carbines with octagonal barrels.
Our friend Ivan sent us a link to his report on a cool product from Sawtooth Rifles called DependaBite Vice Jaws which sit in your vice and clamp onto either the Arca Rail or Picatinny Rail of your firearm.
