LaserMax Announces GripSense Activation Technology
January 10th, 2017Rochester, NY – January 9, 2016 – The new activation technology from LaserMax is coined GripSense™ and offers users dual activation choices via instant on with capacitive touch or button controlled activation.
“Offering consumers the ability to choose between modes of, button activation or GripSense activation is really incredible” said Chris Tinkle, Chief Sales Officer for LaserMax. “Our GripSense Technology is a safe and tactically sound instant on capability that consumers have desired for years, while still providing the ability to have controlled activation.”
The Patent Pending GripSense Technology utilizes similar technology to smartphones, in that the product contains a detection zone in the area that users middle finger indexes the trigger guard of the firearm and senses the user’s grip on the firearm and activates the light or laser instantly. The use has the option to turn off the light or laser with the push of a button or disable the GripSense Activation and rely solely on the button activation.
“I am very proud of our team and excited to see the market’s reaction to our new GripSense Technology,” said Chris Tinkle. “Our team has been very careful to work on an “instant on” solution for laser aiming devices. We challenged our Engineering team to develop a solution that met customer demand while ensuring that the product doesn’t comprise proper doctrinal use of laser aiming devices in law enforcement or self-defense use cases. Our team delivered an incredible solution in GripSense Technology.”
LaserMax released GripSense technology at distributor shows last week and plans a full debut at the 2017 Shot Show in Las Vegas Nevada, January 17, 2017.

Breakthrough Clean Technologies Launches Field Lens Kit with US Optics
January 10th, 2017January 10th, 2017: Breakthrough Clean Technologies & U.S. Optics are pleased to unveil their newest collaborative kit: The Field Lens Kit (FLK).The FLK was designed to be a “field ready” optics cleaning kit and create a solution for a problem that U.S. Optics had spotted. When U.S. Optics identified the need to create a kit that met the shooters’ needs, they looked at the most technologically advanced company in that subject matter; Breakthrough Clean.
Breakthrough (with input from U.S. Optics) designed an anti-fog cleaning solution specifically made for the task of keeping the shooter on glass. Breakthrough also took a hard look at what tools would be necessary without including items that would augment the size of the kit un-necessarily. The FLK highlights the essential tools needed to keep an important piece of hardware, like an optic, “Service Ready”. The contents of the kit were carefully chosen to aid the shooter in keeping their optics in the best working condition.
Kit includes the following:
•?Breakthrough Clean & U.S. Optics marked Lens Pen X1
•?Breakthrough Clean & U.S. Optics marked Lens Pen cleaning cloth X1
•?Breakthrough Clean – Lens Cleaning Solution X1
•?Breakthrough Clean storage pouch X1
“A scope (or optic) has been the shooters lifeline for some time now, and keeping it in working order is essential to the success of a variety of different missions. We were excited with this partnership and the opportunity to bring this product to the marketplace. We hope to continue cultivating these great partnerships in 2017 and create even better relationships along the way.”– Gabriel Cabrera (Marketing Director for Breakthrough Clean)
The Field Lens Kit will be available for purchase soon at www.USOptics.com and will have a $34.99 MSRP.
