JTT Edition SL1 Sight Light at Special Price

The SL-1 Sight Light from ROSCH Works is one of the best pieces of gear to ever pass through my hands (see the review here). I am impressed with it, not just because of the design or the quality, but because I believe it represents an important development in weapon lights. That is why I am excited about the JTT Edition SL1s that ROSCH Works will be offering for a limited time at an excellent price.

I have always considered the SL1 to be reasonably priced at it’s normal retail price of $235. That price gives you a premium weapon light with a fully potted Malkoff designed LED module, aluminum construction, Cerakote over hard anodized finish, and a front sight that is actually an improvement over the standard front sight post. It costs less than many premium light options but provides both a light and front sight. On top of all that, it is the lightest way that I am aware of to mount both a light and front sight to your carbine.

ROSCH Works is selling the JTT Special Edition SL1 for $175 which is a savings of $60. It will be just like the regular SL1 except it will sport a handsome laser-engraved JTT logo which probably adds 25 lumens of output (not really) and helps regrow hair (not really). I receive no compensation from this. I just think the product is excellent and I like the guys behind ROSCH Works. They have inventory to reduce and I am glad to help.

Go to ROSCHWorks.com and use code JTTsale at checkout to save $60. The code is only good for the purchase of the SL1. There is no limit. Orders containing other items will be canceled. The coupon is good through the end of the year.

Battle Arms Development BAD-EMR

Earlier today, I mentioned the new Forward Controls Design EMR and EMR-C. Those were developed in partnership with Battle Arms Development who has also released their own Enhanced Magazine Release – the BAD-EMR.

The BAD-EMR features a shallow “V” shape (compared to the curved shape of the Forward Controls Design parts) that encourages centered finger placement and deep striations that help keep the finger from slipping up or down while not preventing the finger from sliding back to the trigger. The back of the BAD-EMR is skeletonized so that it weighs the same as a standard magazine release button in spite of its increased height. It has no through hole for a clean, finished look.

Battle Arms Development is offering the BAD-EMR in a number of colors including black, OD green, red, silver, yellow-lime, and bronze which is a good match for FDE receivers. Check out the new BAD-EMR at Battle Arms Development.

Forward Controls Design EMR and EMR-C

You may not know the name Forward Controls Design but you probably already know the man behind it. Roger Wang, formerly of Battle Arms Development, started the new company and is already developing a handful of AR-15 parts including the EMR and EMR-C. These AR-15 magazine releases were developed in conjunction with Battle Arms Development who will have their own similar but slightly different version of the product. I have been watching the development of these for some time and I lad I can finally talk about them.

The EMR is similar to the original AR-15 release in size. It has a through hole like the original and is the lower profile of the two option. The EMR-C is extended beyond the EMR. It has no through hole and sits higher than the fence on most AR-15 lowers.

The EMR and EMR-C remind me of the Vickers Tactical Gen. 3 Glock Magazine release in that it seeks to make the magazine release button easier to use without going too far outside the size constraints of the original part. Rather than having a large bolt-on paddle design, the EMR and EMR-C are only slightly extended in length, feature a shallow curve shape, and texture that locks the finger in place and provides purchase. This is adds function through better design rather than just making the mag release larger.
