Delivering up to 500 lumens for two hours on high, and measuring just 4.25 inches, the new light features a flat, low-profile design that allows for concealed carry in either pocket, and a tactical push-button tail switch for easy, one-handed use.

The leader in high-performance optics for military and law enforcement, announces the popular MPS (Micro Pistol Sight) line now available in a new FDE (flat dark earth) model. The MPS continues to meet the approved-for-duty-use status among both, large and small law enforcement agencies across the nation.

Q: What got you into the optics industry?

A: I got into the optics industry about 25 years ago after a friend lent me a pair of his Steiner 10x50mm military marine binoculars. I used it on a deer hunt, and it changed my life. It started a lifelong passion for optics and looking for perfection in optics as I’ve gone along in the last 25 years and just studied and learned and got into all the details that I could, and ultimately, here I am with our thermal brand, Fusion Thermal.

Q: Fusion Thermal is a new company. How did it start?

A: I had a supplier friend who started a company. He found a physicist in Europe who had a fascinating and unique spin on thermal technology, and they made a presentation to me primarily for me to be their customer. I liked seeing a lot of thermal experience and that he had something radically different. So I was intrigued, and I agreed to become their customer. Ultimately, six months later or so, I owned the company and, rebranded it Fusion Thermal and designed it to be more Americanized and more user-friendly.

Q: What advantages do thermal optics have over other night optic technologies like light-intensified optics or add-on lights?

A: Thermal is a new technology to many people; sometimes, they lump it into the same category as night vision. It’s night vision in the sense that you use it at night. But thermals can be used very effectively in the daytime. That’s one of its advantages over traditional night vision. Read more
