LAPD Selects FN 509 MRD-LE for New Duty Pistol

FN AWARDED 5-YEAR AGENCY CONTRACT FOR FN 509 MRD-LE

(McLean, VA) Following a highly competitive and rigorous qualification, FN America, LLC is pleased to announce that the FN 509 MRD-LE has been chosen by the Los Angeles Police Department as their new duty pistol. The FN 509 is a capable and versatile handgun platform that delivers rapid, precision fire in any environment. Officers training on marksmanship, tactical maneuvers and precision target engagements now have a more accurate and reliable sidearm, proven by the LAPD to perform with a wide variety of duty-rated handgun optics and ammunition.

“The Los Angeles Police Department is one of the largest and most elite law enforcement agencies in the country, with roughly 10,000 uniformed officers, and we are proud that they have chosen the FN 509 MRD-LE as their next duty pistol,” said Mark Cherpes, President and CEO of FN America, LLC. “The FN 509 MRD-LE is the only choice for agencies seeking an extremely capable and versatile duty pistol platform with proven reliability, accuracy and optic interoperability. Serving the men and women of an outstanding law enforcement agency like the LAPD brings great pride to everyone at FN, we look forward to supporting their police force with a remarkable handgun platform their officers will rely on every day.”

During the LAPD handgun trials, FN competed against several contenders in a 20,000-round-count endurance qualification, which it surpassed with zero malfunctions. “Exceeding all of the requirements LAPD sought in their new duty pistol was a high-performance standard to meet,” said Chris Cole, Vice President, Sales and Marketing at FN America, LLC. “With over a million rounds fired in development, the FN 509’s reputation for durability is proven here again giving LAPD officers a superior handgun they can depend on in the most demanding policing environments.”

Superior accuracy of the FN 509 MRD-LE starts with the patented FN Low-Profile Optics-Mounting System™. Adapted from the original development for the U.S. Army’s handgun trials, it gives officers more precision and sighting versatility than all other handguns.

“LAPD needed the ability to quickly and securely mount a variety of duty-rated micro red dots to their service pistols to improve the accuracy potential of their handguns and their officers,” said Charles “Bucky” Mills, Sr. Director of Law Enforcement Sales for FN America, LLC. “FN pioneered the MRD mounting technology the LAPD required, enabling precision shot placement and immediate target engagement no matter the environment.”

Accuracy is further enhanced by the high-performance trigger assembly and cold-hammer forged barrel. The combination of accuracy, speed, longevity and versatility gives the FN 509 MRD-LE the edge that today’s officers need. Read more

Bushnell Unveils New Elite Tactical DMR3 and XRS3 Riflescopes

New Riflescopes Deliver Class-Leading Performance with a Propriety Reticle

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. –– Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, has announced the introduction of two new Elite Tactical riflescopes – the DMR3 3.5-21×50 FFP and the XRS3 6-36×56 FFP. Tailored to meet the demands of law enforcement and military professionals as well as long-range and precision rimfire competitions, the new Elite Tactical DMR3 delivers precision to 1,000 yards and beyond in a lightweight, compact package. For those seeking extreme long-range capabilities, including military shooters and ELR competitors, the XRS3 offers the highest magnification in the Elite Tactical family along with superior tracking and reliability.

Featuring the most advanced Elite Tactical optical system ever, both the DMR3 and XRS3 come with a high magnification ED Prime objective, as well as fully multi-coated elements, EXO Barrier™ protection and a new reticle element coating. The new coating pushes the limits of the ultrawideband coating system by increasing light transmission by nearly 2% over previous designs. The culmination of these improvements deliver state-of-the-art optical performance in an already proven, durable and repeatable package.

In addition, these scopes feature a new “G” series reticle designed in conjunction with G.A. Precision. Based on the G3 reticle, the new G4P design features a floating dot center POA, floating holdover dots, refined line widths, quick acquisition bars for low magnification settings, and a more open reticle space above the horizontal stadia.

“The new Elite Tactical DMR3 is utterly reliable, tracks perfectly has a huge eye box and the field of view is everything you need,” said George Gardner, Founder of G.A. Precision and Team Captain for Elite Tactical. “With the etched glass and updated G4P reticle, it’s about as perfect as it can get. I have never had one fail me in a match.”

Each scope boasts a multi-position ThrowHammer™ magnification lever, allowing a shooter to accommodate their particular rifle without concern of manipulation interference. Additional features include Rev-limiter™ Zero Stop elevation turret, locking windage target turret, and a removable sunshade. The DMR3 riflescope shortens the minimum parallax setting over the DMRII Pro from 50 to 25 yards while the all-new XRS3 has a minimum parallax setting of 50 yards and a D-Lok locking diopter.

“The XRS3 has a lot more with 36 power and a 56mm objective, but it still delivers a sharp crisp image at every magnification from the bottom to the top,” said Bryan Sikes, Elite Tactical pro. “What you are really getting is every benefit of the DRM3 in a more magnified package.”

The XRS3 features 29 MIL elevation travel and 15 MIL windage travel, as well as an (18ft @ 100yd) field of view on 6X power and a (3ft @ 100yd) field of view on 36X power. The scope is 14.9 inches long and weighs in at 39 ounces. Read more

Cyclops Announces New Multi-Function Waterproof Spotlight

Irving, TX- Cyclops, an innovator in personal and field lighting solutions, has just introduced a new handheld spotlight designed to serve as both a conventional, high-intensity spotlight as well as a flood light/lantern for close range illumination.

The new Waterproof LED Spotlight is built on the standard pistol grip/lamp body configuration for balanced ease of operation and fatigue-free deployment. The chassis is comprised of a combination aluminum, PC, rubber, and TPR materials to protect the unit from hard impact and to provide a comfortable, no-slip grip in the most austere conditions. What’s more, the housing construction is waterproof, dustproof (IP67), and floats in water.

The front spotlight is powered by an exceptionally bright 20W XHP50.2 Cree LED that allows the user to switch between high, low, SOS, and off via a magnetic trigger switch with a locking mechanism. In back is a 6W Cree XP-G3 LED that serves as a flood light or a lantern. This light is controlled by an IC chip-monitored battery saver mode that automatically reduces output to extend run time.

The Cyclops Waterproof LED Spotlight is an ideal solution for anyone requiring diverse, high-output illumination in a field setting, and its multi-function lamp system is especially advantageous for hunters and boaters who often require spotlight and lantern operations in a single outing.

Increase Your Defensive Shotgun Capabilities with Meprolight

Do you own a shotgun for home defense? Using your choice of ammo, have you patterned it at the distances you may have to shoot? It might be 3 yards , 5 yards or even 10 yards. Contrary to popular myth, when you pull the trigger on your shotgun, there is not a magical spread of shot. Choke and type of shot play a part but at the closer distances, the pattern is smaller. Meaning, you need to use your sight and aim. Complicating matters, if you have to use your weapon, it will be in less-than-ideal conditions and under stress. Meprolight®, the industry leader in Day/Night sights, manufactures self-illuminated shotgun sights enabling you to see the sight quicker.

The tritium-powered TRU-DOT® Self-Illuminated Shotgun Sights make target acquisition faster in low-light and adverse conditions. The highly fluorescent coating enhances visibility during the day. No batteries. No switches. Always On. Always Ready. The sights are rugged and built to function under all conditions which is why the IDF and militaries / law enforcement agencies worldwide use them.

Meprolight® TRU-DOT® Shotgun sights are available for:

  • Remington
  • Mossberg
  • Benelli

Upgrading your standard sights to Meprolight® Self-Illuminating Shotgun Sights improves target acquisition when it matters most. Increase your capabilities and give yourself an edge with the brightest Day/Night sights available. All Meprolight® Self-Illuminated Sights come with a 12-year tritium warranty.
