Have you ever wondered why some anodized surfaces seem to scratch just by looking at them while others are downright difficult to scratch? Not all anodization types are created equal. Dave from Elzetta tells you why in the latest video in their excellent flashlight education video blog series.

Unity Tactical Monkey Bar – Now Shipping
Unity Tactical is now shipping the Monkey Bar, a Fusion compatible mount that replaces the rail clamp on the Magpul MBUS Pro Front Sight. The Monkey Bar adds just .2 ounces of weight over the MBUS Pro alone making it a very lightweight light mounting option for those who are already using an MBUS Pro.
Arisaka 300 and 600 Series Lights
You can now purchase a complete 300 or 600 Series Light from Arisaka. These lights are built from Arisaka’s line of Surefire Scout compatible light bodies and new tailcap. They are topped off with the excellent Malkoff Devices Scout Head.
The 300 Series Light weighs in at a scant 2.8 ounces and boasts 250 lumens of output from a single CR123A battery. The 600 Series Light weighs 3.5 ounces and churns out 325 lumens from 2 CR123A batteries.
Arisaka is offering these lights as a limited first run with special pricing of $149 and $159 for the 300 and 600 Series Lights respectively. There is no mount included but there is no shortage of Scout compatible light mounts available including multiple options from Arisaka.

M300/M600/E-Series Tailcaps from Arisaka
It is entirely possible to build an M300/M600 weapon light without using a single Surefire part. Arisaka, who already makes an great M300/M600 body and mount, has now introduced their M300/M600/E-Series Tailcaps. These tailcaps feature a forward clickie switch with a fence to prevent inadvertent activation. Most importantly, the tailcaps are built around the proven McClicky internals.

Elzetta Mini-CQB Now Shipping
The Elzetta Mini-CQB weapon light is now shipping! This highly anticipated light is the result of a collaboration between Elzetta and Impact Weapons Components. You can read more about it in the review that I completed on a preproduction Mini-CQB.
From Elzetta…
Elzetta Design, LLC is pleased to announce that the new Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlights are now shipping and production models are even better than promised. The Mini-CQB delivers 375 lumens (60 more lumens than previously revealed) of neutral-tint white light from a single CR123A battery. As the name implies this new weaponlight is designed specifically for close quarters battle engagements and home defense applications. With its high-lumen/low-candela output, the Mini-CQB produces an effective wall of light to optimize threat assessment and situational awareness. The Mini-CQB is available with any of six Tailcaps (Rotary, Click, Alpha High/Low, High/Strobe, or Tape Switch with 5″ or 12″ Cable). It is also available with three ambidextrous attachment mechanisms; M-1913 Picatinny, Keymod/M-LOK™, and MOE™ handguards. The Keymod/M-LOK™ system fits both mounting systems by utilizing patent-pending reversible nuts in one direction for Keymod and flipped for M-LOK™. The Mini-CQB Weaponlights join Elzetta Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Modular Flashlights as The Toughest Flashlights on the Planet, featuring fully-potted electronics and solid-acrylic optical lenses (no reflectors). Mini-CQB Weaponlights weigh less than 5 oz. and start at just $210 MSRP. Like all Elzetta products, Mini-CQB Weaponlights are Made in USA with a lifetime guarantee.
The light is available from Elzetta or Impact Weapons Components (IWC). You can use code “triggerjerk” to save 5% at IWC.
