2020 Shot Show—Civilian Legal XVL2-IRC

SureFire is showcasing a new class-1, civilian-legal XVL2-IRC Pistol & Carbine Light/Laser Module system, a premier handgun aiming and illuminating system for both low-light and no-light use, at the 2020 SHOT Show. It features visible and IR aiming lasers and illuminators, along with the proven ergonomic switching of the X300 series of Weaponlights, all together in an extremely compact package.

Technological advancements in tactical illumination are key design elements in the civilian legal XVL2-IRC. Its laser carriage system houses a visible green (520 nm) laser and an 850 nm infrared laser. This unique carriage system facilitates alignment of the visible and infrared laser simultaneously via an x-axis and y-axis adjustment platform. The x-axis and y-axis adjustment screws are sealed to protect against water and to prevent contamination from debris. The adjustment screws feature incremental milliradian adjustment.

The XVL2-IRC also utilizes MaxVision Beam technology to provide wide-angle illumination for target acquisition and situational awareness. The MaxVision Beam technology is crucial in keeping the XVL2-IRC profile small and lightweight, which are important factors to maintain the ability to fit in duty-grade holsters.

Special Notice: The SHOT Show is where the industry unveils the latest and greatest, but there may not be a SHOT Show 2021. Here are more details.

The MaxVision Beam head assembly is paired with a co-aligned, dual-beam visible/infrared laser module. The dual laser/LED system of the civilian legal XVL2-IRC efficiently generates both white and infrared illumination from a dual emitter LED module that allows the delivery of useful levels of tactical light and efficient run times in both visible and infrared spectrums using one 123A lithium battery. An ambidextrous, momentary- and constant-on switch located at the rear of the unit’s body provides redundant switching. The local switching also facilitates using the XVL2-IRC as a handheld light if removed from the host weapon.

The introduction signals yet another advance in the evolution of weaponlight technology. Here’s a quick look at how we’ve arrived at this point, and now you can even get one weaponlight with a camera—providing proof if you wind up in court.
