Midwest Industries has released their own Internal Light Mount end cap for their IWI Tavor rails. It is designed to hold lights with 1″ diameter tube bodies inside the handguard.
Interestingly, it can also be used to mount a Surefire Mini Scout Light completely contained within the handguard. MI promises that this will come in handy for a future release.
These will be available soon in both black and FDE. Check out Midwest Industries.
Two new accessories from Manticore Arms just took their ARCLight Rail for the IWI Tavor to a whole new level of interesting.
The IPSM or Internal Pressure Switch Mount allows you to mount a flashlight pressure switch INSIDE the ARClight rail so that no wires are exposed. It provides a raised button that protrudes from one of the slots in the rail that is used to activate the light. This is a very elegant and streamlined solution for dealing with the evils of tape switches.
The Light Ring bolts into the open, muzzle end of the ARClight rail and serves two purposes. It closes off the end of the rail and it holds a flashlight.
Think about this for a moment. If you use these two items together, you could mount a bomb-proof light with a quality tape switch like an Elzetta entirely inside of the ARClight rail. Only the bezel of the light and the small activation button would extend outside of the rail. This is one of the most streamlined lighting solutions that I have seen, not just on the Tavor, but on any weapon.
The IPSM is available now from Manticore Arms. The Light Ring will be available soon.
Beretta’s venerable 92F handgun has factory light rail options like those found on the the excellent but discontinued Vertec line or the currently available M9A1. However, the vast majority of the Beretta 92s on the market lack a light rail and for those guns there is the new upcoming Recover Tactical BC2 Beretta 92F/M9 Grip and Rail.
The new BC2 works the same way as the original Recover Grips for the 1911. It is a slim, polymer unit that screws in place of the grip panels and extends forward around the trigger guard and under the dust cover to provide a light rail. The portion that is bolted to the grip is essentially the same width as the factory grip panels so there is very little additional bulk that the shooter will notice.
The BC2 should be available soon. Recover Tactical is already showing working units at IWA.

Elzetta continues to build the suite of accessories available for their modular flashlights. The newest is a red version of their drop-in flood lens. This new version diffuses the light over a wide area and helps to preserve your dark adjusted vision. I suspect this would work especially well with the high/low tail cap to provide a low output, long runtime lighting option that preserves dark adjusted vision.

This is as close as you can get to pictures of the INFORCE WMLX (that we told you about recently) in the wild. VEIL Solutions has been putting this one through its paces. It is nice to see one mounted on a rail to get a sense of the size. Thankfully, it looks like the extra battery has not too adversely affected the compact size that makes the original WML so great.
