RETA Kydex Mag/Pistol Light Holder

By on May 15, 2014 in EDC, Flashlights, Guns, Tactical Gear

This is an interesting idea that I am still trying to get my head around how I feel about it. RETA Kydex is now offering a light rail customization option for their Kydex magazine carrier (pistol and rifle). The option places a small section of rail on the carrier so that you can attach your pistol light and keep it close at hand without needing to have a light specific holster for your handgun.

On one hand, I can see the utility of this and I think it could be useful for some shooters. On the other, I would much rather have my light mounted and ready. Regardless, this is an interesting product and I am glad to see Kydex benders like RETA Kydex continuing to innovate.

ROSCH Works TM1 and SLM1 In Stock

By on May 10, 2014 in Flashlights, Guns

The two newest items from ROSCH Works, the TM1 and the SLM1, are now available to be purchased from their site.

The TM1 is a light mount that clamps to a shotgun magazine tube or, with the addition of optional shims, to an AR-15 barrel. It uses just one screw to mount to the barrel and retain the light. The TM1 is designed to work with 1″ tube diameter lights like the Surefire Fury.

The SLM1 is a light mount with integrated front sight. It is also designed to accept 1″ diameter lights like the Surefire Fury. This is a concept that AR-15 shooters have been waiting for since the advent of rails that extend over a low-profile gas block. I am working on a review of the SLM1 and, spoiler alert,  it is excellent. You can read some of my initial thoughts in an earlier post. ROSCH Works is already working on a version for the Surefire E-Series lights.

Battery Clip

By on May 7, 2014 in EDC, Flashlights

aa360Battery Clip is a gun magazine (box shaped feeding device, not the glossy paper things) inspired battery organization and storage device that look somewhat like Glock magazines. It even has witness holes in the back to count rounds along with a spring and follower.

Accessing the batteries looks easy enough. You just press on the back of the Battery Clip to feed a battery through a hole in the front. Once the battery is clear of the Battery Clip, the next battery advances into the top position.

Each Battery Clip can holds up to 8 or 10 batteries depending on the caliber… I mean battery size. They are available for AA, 9 Volt, and CR123A batteries and come in black, coyote brown, and foliage green.

Elzetta News

By on April 24, 2014 in EDC, Flashlights

Elzetta has a slick new website that is MUCH, MUCH easier to user than the old one. The new site is easier on the eyes as well. Now it is even easier to get your hands on American engineered, American made flashlights that can pound nails, operate when full of water, and survive multiple drops from a helicopter.

Their latest limited edition light is about to drop as well. This time around, the light will feature a Stealth gray coating. These always sell out quickly so keep an eye on Elzetta.com for details.

Latest News from INFORCE

By on April 2, 2014 in Flashlights, Guns

I know that you all want to hear the latest on the INFORCE WMLX that I covered recently but that isn’t the only news worthy item to come out of INFORCE lately. Before I get to the WMLX news, I should mention that INFORCE is introducing Flat Dark Earth as a new color option across their entire line. Their previous tan color was lighter than FDE.

Now, on to the WMLX. Full details have been released. We already knew that it was a 2 cell version of the WML. In fact, it has basically the same footprint on the rail but the body is longer to accommodate the second cell. We also already knew that it put out 500 lumens but now we know it will do that for 2 hours which is a solid runtime for a 500 lumen light. Those 500 lumens are pumped out via a special reflector with 3 concentric focus rings that INFORCE states will provide increased throw and spill versus the original WML.

The biggest news is the switch. You no longer have to decide between a momentary only or multifunction version. The WMLX has a throw lever on the side that will allow the user to select the mode that best fits their needs. It will also have what INFORCE is calling a “rotating” strobe which they claim is extremely disorienting.

The FDE lights are available now. The WMLX is still a several weeks out. Check out INFORCE in the mean time.
