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.

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.

The new SVIII offers your choice of an LRM or MH-6 illuminated reticle. The SVIII offers a generous adjustment range that provides 20 MILS of windage and 40 MILS of elevation utilizing .1 Mil tactical turrets. The windage and elevation knobs have a total of 10 MILS per revolution. The all new 40mm main tube is waterproof, shockproof and nitrogen charged. A high-quality set of 40mm rings for a picatinny rail are included.

We are very excited about the new riflescope line,” said Mack Matsumoto, President of SIGHTRON. “The SVIII 5-40×56 is SIGHTRON’s first 40mm main tube riflescope. It’s also, the first to utilize the new MC-777 coatings on every air-to-glass surface throughout the entire optical system.”

For superior performance, SIGHTRON created a new MC-777 multi-coated lens coating for increased light transmission and improved clarity. SIGHTRON’s patented ExacTrack windage and elevation system is standard on all models. All reticles in this premium line are illuminated with a side-mounted 11-position on/off rotary-type dial which uses a standard CR2032 Battery. Another standout feature is the side-mounted focus system that has been redesigned for improved minimum focus performance. Read more

City of Industry, Ca. –Holosun is releasing several new models with their Super Green LED including the 507K series. Green reticles have some advantages of being an ultra-high contrast color in both daytime and low-light use. The brilliant green reticle of the HE507K-GR X2 enables the shooter to obtain a sight picture instantly against almost any backdrop or lighting conditions.

HE507K-GR X2 is an open reflex pistol optic designed primarily for concealed applications. The HE507K has become the go-to optic for concealed carriers and professional users on backup firearms. The HE507K features HOLOSUN’s Multi-reticle System (MRS) which gives the user an option to use the 32MOA/2MOA Circle-Dot reticle, Circle only, or Dot only.

When carrying this optic, there is a wide range of features worth noting. Lock Mode is one such feature. It locks out the button functionality, preventing accidental setting changes if the optic is knocked into something. This, paired with the button redesign adds to the streamlined design which is perfect for concealed carry and backup firearm applications. Read more
