Effective Next-to-Skin Comfort

Posted on Wednesday, 22 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Effective Next-to-Skin Comfort

ScentLok’s versatile new Merino 250 Base-Layer collection provides warmth, comfort, and breathability.

MUSKEGON, Mich. (January 21, 2025) – ScentLok has been a leader in the advancement of Merino wool for outdoor pursuits. Most recently, the pioneering company introduced the Merino 250 Hoodie to great acclaim. Its success led ScentLok to develop the new Merino 250 Base-Layers, expanding their assortment constructed with the organic, warm, and comfortable fabric.

The new ScentLok Merino 250 ¼ Zip, Hoodie and Bottom are ideal base-layers, offering outstanding thermal regulation and breathability. Designed with flatlock seam construction, they also ensure maximum durability and comfort, allowing for unrestricted movement throughout the day. Say goodbye to sweat and odor distractions—our naturally moisture-wicking and antimicrobial Merino wool keeps you feeling fresh and dry, even during the most intense activities.

“There are so many awesome aspects of the Merino 250 Base-Layers,” said Allie. “The first things that come to mind are its softness, durability, and how the fabric can stretch but not lose its shape. If you ever wore an older merino garment, you recall how it quickly got stretched out and kept getting looser fitting. By adding spandex, the Merino 250 Base-Layers will fit the same, hunt after hunt, washing after washing.”

Odor prevention at the skin layer is important, too. The Merino 250 Base-Layer’s natural antimicrobial properties get the scent control process underway before even adding ScentLok carbon outerwear. And you’ll be thoroughly impressed at its ability to wick moisture away from your skin.

Concealed thumbloops for optional use. (Merino 250 Hoodie)

What is Merino wool?

It’s a superfine natural fiber that’s sheared from Merino sheep. Originally from Spain, Merino sheep are now raised in South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States.

Key to Merino wool of the highest quality is the diameter of its fibers, measured in microns (one millionth of a meter). For example, routine Merino wool measures in the low 20’s, whereas ScentLok’s Merino 250 Base-Layers come in at 18.5 microns. That means more of Merino wool’s beneficial properties per square inch of material. (To give you an idea of how fine that is, human hairs average between 50 and 100 microns.)

Temperature Regulation

Merino wool adapts to your body’s needs. It provides warmth when it’s cold and offers breathability when required. The garment naturally regulates based on the weather conditions.

Odor Resistance

While ScentLok is famous for its carbon technology, in the case of the Merino 250 Base-Layers, the fabric alone offers native antimicrobial properties. This comes from a sheep’s ability to produce natural wax (sheep grease) that repels water and prevents the accumulation of bacteria, mold, and fungus.

Moisture Wicking

Specialty fabrics and treatments, including some of those from ScentLok, are purposed for wicking moisture off your skin. Merino wool? It naturally lifts perspiration off and away, as it does for sheep.

Elasticity

Unlike conventional wool, Merino wool offers a degree of elasticity. Meaning, the fabric holds its shape. For the objectives of the Merino 250 Base-Layers, ScentLok blended in 5% spandex to add the stretch and motion-promotion required for hunting. In the words of ScentLok Director of Marketing, Steve Allie, the base-layers “rebound well and holds its structure.”

Softness

This is the no-brainer. Instantly feel the softness with one touch of the fabric. This translates into maximum comfort against your skin.

Hypoallergenic

Maybe not a requirement for hunting, but it’s factual, nonetheless. Merino wool is officially recognized as asthma and allergy friendly by the international certification body Allergy Standards Limited (ASL).

Fire-Resistant

Yes, it’s true. Merino wool fibers are difficult to ignite, have limited ability to sustain a flame, and can self-extinguish. Merino wool clothing is worn by firemen, police, soldiers, and rescue teams because of its natural fire resistance.

47th SHOT Show Opens its Doors at Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum

Posted on Wednesday, 22 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

47th SHOT Show Opens its Doors at Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum

The world’s largest trade show of its kind showcases products and equipment for target shooting, hunting, the outdoors and law enforcement

LAS VEGAS — The 47th SHOT Show® kicked off a four-day run today at The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum, where from January 21-24 it will provide a greatly anticipated look at exciting new products in the world of target shooting, hunting, the outdoors, personal protection and law enforcement.

The 2025 SHOT Show marks the fourth year of its expansion into Caesars Forum, adding to the exhibit space of its longtime home venue, The Venetian Expo. This year the show floor will feature more than 2,800 exhibiting companies occupying more than 830,000 net square feet of booth space.

Owned and sponsored by NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, the SHOT Show is the largest trade show of its kind in the world. Show organizers point out that as a trade show the SHOT Show should not be confused with a traditional gun show, and that no firearms are transferred at the show.

Total attendance at last year’s SHOT Show exceeded 55,000 firearm industry professionals, including representatives from manufacturers, wholesalers, firearm retailers, law enforcement and the military. The SHOT Show is the eighth largest trade show in the U.S., measured by net square feet of exhibitor space, according to Trade Show Executive magazine, and SHOT Show is the fifth largest trade show in Las Vegas.

The SHOT Show brings a charge to the economies of Las Vegas and Nevada, generating more than $88 million in non-gaming revenue. More broadly, the firearm and ammunition industry significantly benefits the American economy, delivering an economic impact of more than $90.1 billion and supporting more than 384,400 jobs.

Many states place a high value on what industry businesses bring to their economies. Those benefits will be topics at the fourth NSSF-sponsored Governors’ Forum, where these leaders will discuss the importance of the firearm industry to their states. Additionally, the second NSSF-sponsored state Attorneys General Forum will look at the legal landscape related to challenges in states to the Second Amendment.

Education sessions for firearm retailers and shooting range operators are an important segment of the SHOT Show. SHOT University™ offers classes on compliance, business management and much more. In the past, presenters have included representatives from ATF, FBI and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Through its FixNICS® program, NSSF has helped to significantly improve the FBI’s NICS database by adding the names of persons legally prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm.

On the day before the SHOT Show opens, Industry Day at the Range will have more than 200 exhibitors providing hands-on experience with firearms, ammunition, optics, vehicles and other products to more than 2,400 invited outdoor media members and buyers. NSSF is the title sponsor of the event. More than 2,400 members of the press cover the SHOT Show.

“SHOT Week” captures the full scope of SHOT Show-related events. These include the NSSF/HAVA Golf Classic in support of Honored American Veterans Afield, a firearm industry-run charitable organization that helps the healing of disabled combat veterans through participation in hunting and shooting sports.

The two-day Supplier Showcase is a show-within-a-show, with more than 600 OEM third-party suppliers meeting with exhibiting manufacturers and exploring their needs for extrusions, fabrication, fabrics, machinery, metal, plastics, software, logistical support and tools.

The Archery Business Pavilion, which debuted last year, is back to highlight both traditional and new technologies for archery products.

At a special ceremony, NSSF will announce three new inductees to its Hall of Fame honoring industry leaders for their contributions to industry and the growth of target shooting and hunting in America. The NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented as well.

The firearm industry is committed to promoting the safe use and secure storage of its products to prevent accidents, thefts, suicide and misuse. The industry’s newest initiative—Gun Storage Check Week™—will be very visible. Show and airport advertising will encourage companies, organizations and individuals to promote the message of “Make Sure It’s Secure™” during Gun Storage Check Week’s observances June 1-7 and September 1-7.

NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® and “Have a Brave Conversation” suicide prevention programs will have booths, as will NSSF’s partners in safety—the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The SHOT University educational section will have a panel discussion on “New Efforts in Industry’s Fight to Prevent Suicide.”

NSSF works to keep guns out of the hands of prohibited persons at the retail level through its Operation Secure Store®, Don’t Lie for the Other Guy™ and FixNICS® initiatives. These efforts along with the Project ChildSafe and Brave Conversation programs are collectively known as Real Solutions for Safer Communities®. They are all helping to save lives.

The SHOT Show attracts buyers from all 50 states and 119 countries. Some 13.9 miles of aisles lead to displays of firearms, ammunition, gun safes, locks and cases, optics, shooting range equipment, targets, training and safety equipment, hunting accessories, law enforcement gear, hearing and eye protection, tree stands, scents and lures, cutlery, GPS systems and other electronics, holsters, apparel, leather goods, game calls and decoys.

CZ Shadow 2 Target – Bullseye Shooters Rejoice

Posted on Tuesday, 21 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

CZ Shadow 2 Target – Bullseye Shooters Rejoice

Las Vegas, NV (January 21, 2025) – The CZ Shadow 2 is an unrivaled choice for practical pistol shooting sports. Its perfectly balanced design provides speed, accuracy, and shooting comfort, delivering the performance top shooters need to win IPSC World Championship titles and international medals. Target shooting enthusiasts can now enjoy the same competition-ready features as their IPSC counterparts in the CZ Shadow 2 Target – a unique model customized for bullseye shooters.

CZ took the best characteristics of the award-winning Shadow 2 and customized them for the win in the new Shadow 2 Target. Adjustable sights, an ability to attach frame weights, an adjustable trigger shoe, and a longer barrel are just a few of the many upgrades that deliver 10X performance in the two new Target models. 

The barrel is a critical component of any gun and a standout feature on these new models. Shooters can choose from 5- or 6-inch barrels—ideally suited for target shooting. CZ cold hammer forges and hand-fits each barrel to the slide, ensuring supreme precision and durability. A lifetime warranty backs CZ barrels!

CZ maximized comfort in the Target, improving shot-to-shot consistency. Building on the legacy of the CZ 75, a pistol with cult-like status thanks to its comfortable natural grip, engineers fine-tuned the Shadow 2 Target for perfection. Sophisticated grip texturing matches the roughened areas on the front and rear of the grip. CZ also redesigned the shape of the controls for ease of use. 

An enlarged undercut on the trigger guard allows for a higher grip, positioning the shooter’s hand closer to the bore axis and providing noticeable recoil dampening.

Longer and deeper cocking serrations provide a more secure grip for flawless handling.

A smooth, crisp, and balanced trigger mechanism is deeply ingrained in the DNA of all CZ pistols. The Shadow 2 Target’s trigger inherits these qualities and is further tuned for target competition. Its adjustable trigger and trigger shoe offer a custom feel and fit.

The accessory rail has been replaced by an interface for attaching a frame weight to help reduce muzzle rise. This is important in disciplines where both speed and accuracy are crucial.

Target shooters need adjustable sights for precision. The Shadow 2 Target includes an adjustable (horizontal and vertical) LPA rear sight. The target front sight comes in two different widths, so that shooters can fine-tune the sights to their liking.

CZ Shadow Target Features: 

  • Target-quality barrels available in 5- or 6-inch lengths 
  • Redesigned muzzle with protective crown and aesthetic shape
  • Cold hammer-forged and hand-fitted barrel
  • Lifetime barrel warranty
  • Undercut on the trigger guard allows for a higher grip
  • Longer and deeper cocking serrations provide a secure grip
  • Adjustable trigger shoe – 5 positions to fit any hand size
  • Adjustable trigger

CZ P-09 Nocturne – Upgraded and Optics Ready

Posted on Tuesday, 21 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

CZ P-09 Nocturne – Upgraded and Optics Ready

Las Vegas, NV (January 21, 2025) – The CZ P-09 Nocturne builds on the success of the CZ P-09 series of polymer-framed, hammer-fired pistols. It includes innovations like enhanced ergonomics and the ability to mount a red dot sight.

The Nocturne is available in full-size and compact configurations with a choice of suppressor-ready models, making it a shooter-friendly option for recreational use or comfortable everyday carry. 

Customers asked for the ability to mount a red dot sight, and CZ delivered with the Nocturne. The new Optics-Ready interface is compatible with Shield RMS and Holosun K footprints, allowing users to mount their preferred optics directly to the mounting interface for enhanced accuracy and precision. This configuration gives optics a lower profile while maintaining sight co-witnessing. Shooters who run the pistol without a red dot sight can use the rear sight for emergency cocking. Its luminescent 3-dot sight picture ensures quick and accurate target acquisition in various lighting conditions.

Enhanced front and rear cocking serrations create a secure hold when cycling the slide, while the redesigned slide stop offers easier control and handling. The pistol’s ergonomics have been tuned for pistol personalization with three sizes of interchangeable backstraps, an ambidextrous safety lever, and a manual safety and de-cocker.

The CZ P-09 Nocturne sports an improved grip texture pattern and expanded textured areas between the trigger guard and beaver tail in front of the slide catch/release lever on both sides of the frame and the magazine base, giving it a comfortable and stable grip even in wet conditions.

Based on the CZ 75 trigger system, the pistol’s Omega mechanism adds the option of a user-replaceable trigger release safety (de-cocker). The trigger features a smooth pull and crisp break in both modes. The shape of the trigger blade and spacious combat trigger guard allow for comfortable gloves-on shooting.

The CZ P-09 Nocturne underwent several demanding NATO AC/225 D/14 tests to ensure reliable operation in challenging conditions, such as high and low temperatures, salt water, sand, mud, and dust. It passed with flying colors. Fittingly, tactical accessories mount on traditional MIL-STD-1913 rails.

The rugged, fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame is robust and resistant to temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable operation. Metal components are nitride-finished for maximum corrosion resistance. Its barrel uses CZ’s advanced cold hammer forging technology and is backed by a lifetime warranty. 

The CZ P-09 Nocturne sets the standard in polymer-framed pistols, delivering unmatched reliability, performance, and versatility. It’s a pistol made for the most demanding conditions and functions flawlessly in the face of adversity.

CZ P-09 Nocturne Features: 

  • New Optics-Ready interface for Shield RMS and Holosun K footprints
  • Enhanced front cocking serrations
  • Interchangeable, ambidextrous safety levers, manual safety to decocker
  • Extremely durable nitride finish on slide and barrel – BOBOX
  • Omega SA/DA trigger mechanism
  • Mechanically and thermally stable fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame
  • Three sizes of interchangeable backstraps to modify the grip shape

CZ P-09 Nocturne Specifications:

  • CZ P-09 C NOCTURNE; CZ P-09 F NOCTURNE
  • Caliber: 9×19 MM
  • Frame Material: Mechanically and thermally stable fiberglass-reinforced polymer

Streamlight Launches High-Lumen, Multi-Fuel Models of TLR-8 and TLR-8 Sub Rail-Mounted Lights

Posted on Tuesday, 21 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES HIGH-LUMEN, MULTI-FUEL MODELS

OF TLR-8® AND TLR-8® SUB RAIL-MOUNTED LIGHTS

Provide Up to 1,000 Lumens and Front-Loading Battery Replacement

Through Face Cap 

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 20, 2024 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, introduced high-lumen, multi-fuel versions of its TLR-8® and TLR-8® sub lines of laser-equipped weapon-mounted lights, featuring up to 1,000 lumens of brightness and a longer-reaching beam to maximize visibility and targeting capability. All the new models give users the choice of using either a cost-saving SL-B9® USB-C rechargeable battery pack or a CR123A lithium battery, depending on availability or user preference. They also offer convenient, front-loading battery replacement without having to remove the light from the firearm.

The new lights include the TLR-8® HL-X with red laser and the TLR-8® HL-X G with green laser for full-size and compact railed handguns, and the TLR-8® HL-X sub with red laser and the TLR-8® HL-X G sub with green laser, available to fit select GLOCK®, SIG SAUER®, Springfield Armory®, and many 1913 short railed subcompact handguns. All models offer customizable rear paddle switches to match users’ shooting styles.

“Law enforcement, military, tactical, and other users will appreciate these newest additions to the growing family of TLR rail-mounted lights that are rechargeable, but also provide the option of using disposable batteries,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Because the lights are high-lumen, they produce sweeping bright light, while also delivering an intense down-range beam, which is ideal for room clearing, search operations, or other pursuits under low-light conditions.

Starting off with the ultimate lightweight, performance-focused defensive revolver, is the Model 632-UC Ti. This J-Frame is chambered in 32 H&R Mag, has a 6-round capacity, and features a lightweight titanium cylinder and aluminum alloy frame to reduce weight for maximum comfort when carrying. It is designed with a 1.88-inch barrel that includes a bright dot tritium front sight and a black u-notch rear sight which are regulated for use with commonly available ammunition.

The Model 632-UC Ti is built with an upgraded endurance package to improve both performance and durability, and its chamfered charge holes allow for easy loading. Two versions are available, in either a black or silver finish and come with a textured synthetic grip to allow for enhanced control and comfort when shooting.

The two remaining releases include the finely-crafted Model 686-Plus and Model 629 Mountain Guns®. The L-Frame 686-Plus is an all stainless-steel constructed, 7-shot revolver, chambered in .357 Magnum/38 Special +P. It includes a 4.13-inch barrel with a patridge-style brass bead front sight and adjustable rear sight for improved sight acquisition. The second variant, the Model 629, is a 6-shot N-Frame chambered in .44 Magnum/.44 Special. Similar to the Model 686-Plus, it shares the same all-stainless-steel construction, a 4.13-inch barrel, brass bead front and adjustable rear sights, and a high-grade walnut Bear Hug grip from Tyler Gun Works.

Galco’s Stow-N-Go Elite IWB Holster now available for SIG-Sauer P365 Fuse!

Posted on Tuesday, 21 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

HOME  HOLSTERS  AMMO CARRIERS  BELTS  FAQ

Galco’s Stow-N-Go Elite IWB Holster now available for SIG-Sauer P365 Fuse!

January 2025

Now available for the SIG-Sauer P365 Fuse!

Galco’s original Stow-N-Go™ IWB quickly became a best-seller upon its introduction. We’ve used the popular design as the basis for the Stow-N-Go Elite – part of our Masterbilt™ holster series – to create the ultimate version, featuring ultra-premium materials and construction methods, resulting in an ideal professional-grade inside-the-waistband holster.

The Masterbilt holster series combines our finest-quality premium leathers with the skills of our most experienced craftsmen. The Masterbilt series is the pinnacle of leather holster construction, unrivaled by anything on the market. Masterbilt holsters get their final drying on a last, a solid form around which the holster is dried. They’re ready to go – right from Galco – with little or no break-in required. With detailed hand molding and full-grain leather lining, Masterbilt holsters are not only beautiful, but supremely functional.

Constructed of our finest, fully-lined premium steerhide, the Stow-N-Go Elite features detailed hand-molding for both secure retention and a beautiful appearance. The smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical – it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted premium holster.

The open top design allows an easy draw, while the firm, lined construction keeps the holster open for smooth return to the holster. The vertical orientation gives the option of strong side or appendix carry to meet the needs of a broad range of gun carriers. The smooth exterior allows easy repositioning of the holster as needed – for example, quickly switching from strongside carry to the appendix position. The sturdy polymer belt clip secures firmly to belt or pants, using a claw shape to prevent unintentional removal.

Available in black or tan, the Stow-N-Go Elite fits belts up to 1 3/4”.

Discover the Netarm cleaning kit

Posted on Monday, 20 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Sniper Rifles   PGM Accessories   Equipment

Start 2025 with the must-have Netarm Cleaning Kit.

It is difficult to make it simpler and more effective at the same time.

The embodiment of French know-how, this tactical concept has become indispensable for law enforcement and military personnel.

Learn more

Shooters are aware that the proper maintenance of a weapon allows it to function perfectly, and also helps to extend its life. At PGM, we use the Netarm kit, which allows for simple, fast, and economical cleaning.

Awarded by the professional press and the ANVAR (National Agency for the Promotion of Research), the Netarm cleaning kit has been used by the French army and by PGM Precision for more than 30 years. It has also been used by the German army for more than 15 years.

The Netarm Cleaning Kit

The concept is simple: the fuse puller is inserted into the muzzle of the barrel and exits through the chamber of the weapon. The wick is then positioned on the end of the wick puller which comes out through the chamber. All you have to do is pull on the handle while holding the barrel firmly, and you’re done.

Présentation et démonstration du kit de nettoyage Netarm

For technical details:

  • Drill bit designed for cleaning, drying, greasing, or degreasing the barrel.

  • No metal : does not damage the barrel.

  • Wand with a safety fuse system integrated into the handle

  • Universal products for small arms .

Cambridge, Maryland (January 17, 2025) –  LWRCI™ announces the next evolution of their renowned Individual carbine family with the introduction of the ICMKII.

Featured updates to the product line include the updated design of the upper receiver and the adoption of the M-LOK® mounting system for the handguard.

Jan. 18, 2024

Diamondback Firearms Introduces 9mm and 3” SDR Revolvers at Shot Show 2025

(Cocoa, FL) – Diamondback Firearms, creator of high-quality firearms and industry-leading components, is excited to introduce the Diamondback SDR (Self Defense Revolver) in both 9mm as a snub nose and .357 magnum in a three-inch barrel. Both versions will be unveiled and showcased during the 2025 Shot Show Range Day.
The entire SDR revolver family has a 6-round capacity with a push-button cylinder release. This allows for faster loading and casing ejection. The revolvers come standard with a fixed orange fiber optic front sight, dovetail fiber optic green rear sight, and a fully captured crane link and cylinder assembly. The SDR hits the mark with its stainless-steel barrel and solid forged stainless-steel frame. Both SDR models come standard with rubber Hogue grips for a solid feel when shooting. The 9mm SDR will accept proprietary moon clips. Diamondback partnered with TK Custom and the gun ships with three TK Custom moon clips in the box.
The SDR is the perfect revolver for the concealed carry owner looking to have maximum firepower in the trusted revolver platform. Diamondback has used their decades of manufacturing experience to craft the perfect revolver for the conceal carry market.
“The snub nosed SDR has been a huge success, and we have had a lot of customer feedback asking for a 3-inch barrel and a 9mm version,” says Grant Hoskins, Marketing Manager for Diamondback America. “This year, we are working hard to expand our product line and bring new designs to the market. The 3-inch SDR and the 9mm SDR are the latest products in the Diamondback lineup and help expand our product offerings into new areas.”
With budget friendly MSRPs of just $837 for the 3” and $821 for the 9mm, these Diamondback SDRs are sure to be a popular choice for first-time owners and firearms enthusiasts alike. Diamondback will officially launch these two SDRs at Shot Show Range Day 2025.

Streamlight Offers Multi-Fuel Models of TLR-8 Weapon Lights

Posted on Saturday, 18 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

STREAMLIGHT® OFFERS MULTI-FUEL MODELS OF TLR-8® WEAPON LIGHTS

Use Disposable Battery or Rechargeable Battery Pack; Feature Red or Green Laser

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 17, 2024 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, launched multi-fuel models of its TLR-8® line of laser-equipped tactical weapon lights, designed to provide extreme brightness in tactical situations, while also offering users USB or disposable battery options. The new lights include the TLR-8® X with red laser and the TLR-8 X® G with green laser for full-size and compact railed handguns, and the TLR-8® X sub with red laser and the TLR-8® X G sub with green laser, available to fit select GLOCK®, SIG SAUER®, Springfield Armory®, and many 1913 short railed subcompact handguns.

All models of these new lights deliver 500 lumens and offer customizable rear switches that provide ambidextrous operation.

“These new lights, like their originals, are designed to maximize shooters’ weapon platforms in a variety of home defense and tactical applications,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “The red laser models maximize visibility and long-range targeting capability, while the green laser versions improve users’ ability to focus on targets during daylight, as the color green appears brighter to the human eye than other colored lasers. And all models are multi-fuel, giving users the choice of using either a CR123A lithium battery or Streamlight’s cost-saving SL-B9® USB-C rechargeable battery pack, depending on availability or user preference.”

Each of the new lights uses a high-power white LED that delivers 5,000 candela and 500 lumens over 141 meters and features a custom optic with a focused beam that optimizes peripheral illumination. The TLR-8 X and TLR-8 X sub include a 640-660nm red aiming laser, while the TLR-8 X G and TLR-8 X G sub feature a 510-530nm green aiming laser. All are powered by either one 3-volt CR123A lithium battery or one 850mAh Li-Ion USB-C rechargeable SL-B9 battery pack which charges via a USB-C cord or optional bank charger. Both types of batteries can be installed or removed through the face cap, eliminating the need to remove the light from the weapon.

The new models offer three lighting modes, LED Only, LED/Laser Combined, and Laser Only. Run times are 1.5 hours in LED Only or LED/Laser mode and 60 hours in Laser Only mode using a CR123A battery. With the SL-B9 battery pack inserted, run times are one hour in LED Only or LED/Laser mode and 36 hours on the Laser Only setting.

These lights feature a one-handed, snap on and tighten interface that keeps hands away from gun muzzles when attaching or detaching them. A key kit is also included to securely fit the lights to the broadest array of handguns of any light on the market.

The new models are constructed with 6000 Series machined aircraft aluminum with a black anodized finish and feature a BOROFLOAT® impact and scratch-resistant lens. The TLR-8 X and TLR-8 X G each weigh 2.64 ounces with a disposable battery, and 2.74 ounces with the SL-B9 battery pack; they measure 2.58 inches in length. Using a disposable battery, the TLR-8 X sub and TLR-8 X G sub models each weigh 2.77 ounces, and 2.87 ounces with the SL-B9 battery pack inserted. They are 2.51 inches in length. Featuring impact-resistant construction, the new models have an IPX4-rated design for water-resistant operation.

Both the TLR-8 X sub and the TLR-8 X G sub are available in four different models to fit GLOCK® 43X MOS/48 MOS and GLOCK® 43X/48 Rail subcompact handguns; the SIG SAUER® P365® and P365® XL; the Springfield Armory® Hellcat®; and select 1913 short railed subcompact handguns including the Smith & Wesson® M&P® M2.0®, Beretta® Px4 Storm, Springfield Armory® XD-E™, XD-S® and Hellcat® Pro; Heckler & Koch® HK45, and SIG SAUER® P365® XMACRO.

The TLR-8 X and TLR-8 X G have MSRPs of $412.92 and $505.62 respectively, while the MSRPs for the TLR-8 X sub and TLR-8 X G sub models are $389.55 and $477.00 respectively. All models come with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The ALL NEW S98.

Posted on Saturday, 18 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

SilencerCo Vector Logo - (.SVG + .PNG) - FindVectorLogo.Com

Watch our newest video introducing the all new S98 handgun suppressor. The S98 is titanium, eccentric and extremely lightweight. It’s built specifically for 9MM handguns with a design that keeps the sights unobstructed and the look seamless.
Its titanium construction means the S98 is the shortest and lightest suppressor in its polygonal design class. It’s also fully-welded which almost eliminates that first-round pop. The S98 represents new strides in design and manufacturing technology and is sure to be as iconic as the Osprey, which paved the way for polygonal suppressors.

Kopin and Wilcox to Demonstrate Day and Nighttime Readable Visual Augmentation Solutions for Warfighters at SHOT Show 2025 in First Public Reveal

Posted on Saturday, 18 January, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Kopin and Wilcox to Demonstrate Day and Nighttime Readable Visual Augmentation Solutions for Warfighters at SHOT Show 2025 in First Public Reveal

01/15/25

See the DayVAS™ HUD (heads up display) and patent pending DarkWAVE™ night vision goggle clip-in, capable of full color augmented reality overlay

SHOT Show 2025: Kopin and Wilcox Day and Nighttime Readable Visual Augmentation Solutions - Frag Out! Magazine


WESTBOROUGH, Mass. – Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) a leading provider of application-specific optical systems and high-performance microdisplays for defense, training, enterprise, industrial, consumer and medical products, today announced the DayVAS™ (Daytime Visual Augmentation System) and DarkWAVE™ will be demonstrated for the first time publicly at SHOT Show 2025.

DayVAS is a daytime readable see-through Heads-Up Display (HUD) module, developed in collaboration with Wilcox Industries (Wilcox), and is used with their cutting-edge FUSION CLAW™ head borne information system. The FUSION CLAW is set to revolutionize the battlefield with its advanced modular technology platform, seamlessly integrating night vision, communications equipment, multi-spectral identification friend-or-foe, AI-informed power prioritization, multi-spectral forward illumination, mission recording, and Day/Night Heads-Up Display (HUD).

Also in collaboration with Wilcox, and debuting at the SHOT Show, will be DarkWAVE. DarkWAVE solves the problem seen in current augmented reality (AR) night vision goggle (NVG) accessories. DarkWave is intended to replace monochrome green only AR symbology and low resolution thermal overlay images with full color, tube safe situational awareness. DarkWAVE fills the NVG’s field-of-view (FOV) with full color symbology at a higher resolution than currently available clip-on thermal imagers. The operational impact of the DarkWAVE is improved situational awareness for faster, more informed and decisive action (OODA loops) by our warfighters. DarkWAVE’s augmented clip-in visuals enhance warfighter’s ability to safely complete their missions, reduce fratricide and return home to their families.

Kopin’s pivotal role in DayVAS and DarkWAVE involves the development and production of look-through mixed reality accessories, which enhance warfighter situational awareness with state-of-the-art Day and Night HUDs. With geospatial AR software integration, users will have the capability to select menu items at a glance, watch drone feeds, navigation cueing and communicate via text over a real world scene.

“Warfighters utilizing today’s ATAK systems and similar emerging AR technologies require the ability to safely access vital information in real-time. This crucial knowledge not only supports successful mission outcomes but also supports our mission of helping them return home safely,” said Nic Peterson, Kopin’s Director of Business Development for Warfighter Vision. “We believe our high-performance microdisplays combined with innovative near-eye optics enable Kopin’s HUD products to meet the needs of the warfighter by enhancing the utility and safety of the ATAK systems in use today.”

See the DayVAS HUD and DarkWAVE demonstrations at SHOT Show 2025, featured at Wilcox Booth #62303. Contact sales@kopin.com to pre-schedule a demonstration.

Note to the Media: Priority demonstration experiences are available for members of the media who register in advance at Kopin@lightspeedpr.com.
