Nightstick Dedicated Long-Gun Lighting Kit

From Nightstick

Nightstick, a global manufacturer of innovative, professional lighting products introduced their new series of dedicated long gun weapon lights with LGL-150, LGL-160, and LGL-170 models. These new high-power long-gun lighting options represent the pinnacle of performance in close combat/defense illumination technology for rifles, carbines, and shotguns with MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rails.

Model LGL-150 features a compact body running on a single CR123 battery producing 450-lumens of crisp downrange lighting for two hours, illuminating objects and threats up to 220 meters (721 feet) away. Weighing in at only 4.2 ounces and made of 6061-T6 aluminum with a black hard-anodized satin finish, the LGL-150 is IP-X7 rated waterproof. Sharing the same rugged construction and waterproof rating, the LGL-160 Full-Size Long Gun Light Kit more than doubles the output to 1,100 lumens and 22,541 candela. With a longer 300-meter beam from two included CR123 batteries, the LGL-160 provides powerful downrange light for two hours. The all-in Nightstick LGL-170 Rechargeable Long Gun Light Kit generates a daylight-like whopping 1,500 lumens and 23,148 candela for an hour and a half and boasts a 304-meter beam distance. The fully equipped LGL-170 model comes with two 18650 li-ion batteries and a USB charger for hot-swapping convenience, with the multi-fuel flexibility to run optionally on two CR123 batteries.

“Our LGL Series is engineered to be as flexible as they are powerful, giving both law enforcement and gun owners alike multiple mounting and activation options up to a segment-leading 1,500 lumens,” says Russell Hoppe, Director of Marketing. “We designed these LGL-Series kits for both tactical and self-defense situations where intuitive activation and reliable performance are paramount.”

Each weapon light kit includes both a standard and 45-degree offset rail mount with thumbscrews, tail cap, and 6-inch remote pressure switches, RPS rail mount, and Nightstick’s own proprietary NS-WM1 wire-management clamp to eliminate snags. To learn more, please visit www.nightstick.com.

Viridian Debuts New E-Series Laser Sight for Taurus TX 22

From Viridian

Viridian Weapon Technologies is proud to announce the arrival of the E-Series Laser Sight for the Taurus TX™ 22.. The new red laser sight will add versatility and speed to the TX 22, Taurus’s in-demand semiautomatic rimfire.

Viridian is one of the largest independent providers of weapon-mounted technology and the leader in equipping gun-specific products for the top firearms brands. The Taurus TX 22 E-Series Laser Sight will add a new dimension to the popular plinking platform and will offer a dynamic stand-in for those who want to train with a semiautomatic without the increasing expense of centerfire ammunition.

“Taurus makes exceptional firearms,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “We are proud to work with Taurus’s product development team to offer Taurus customers lasers tailormade for their guns. With its performance trigger and exceptional ergonomics, the TX 22 offers shooters a tremendous amount of potential, and this new laser will add even more to the platform.”

Viridian’s E-Series line is purpose built for everyday carry and home defense and is equally useful on the range. The E-Series Laser Sights easily mount to the trigger guard and rail of the TX 22, and feature an ambidextrous on/off button that is readily accessible with the trigger finger. Each laser has a 5-minute auto shut off to help preserve battery life.

More and more companies are going wireless on their weaponlight and scope solutions, too. Here’s my look at the trend.

Galco VHS 4.0 for the 4-inch S&W X Frame

From Galco

Galco’s original VHS™ (Vertical Holster System) was field-proven across the globe from Afghanistan to America. The VHS provides a very comfortable alternative for those who like Galco’s world-famous Miami Classic but prefer the traditional vertical carry style.

After over a decade of experience with the VHS, Galco has continued to refine, update and improve it. The VHS 4.0 brings recontoured shoulder straps for added comfort and concealment, the introduction of a new harness fastener system, the addition of an innovative new tie-down system, and a new spare ammo carrier for revolver fits.

A key component of all Galco shoulder systems, including the VHS 4.0, is the harness. It uses a four-point harness that pivots independently, connected by our clover-shaped, trademarked Flexalon™ swivel back plate. Along with our patented swivel connectors, this results in a perfect fit and lasting comfort for virtually all body sizes and shapes. The new tool-free harness fastener system offers better security, ease of assembly, and greatly reduced chance of fastener loss.

The VHS 4.0 for revolvers comes complete with vertical holster, harness, double speed loader carrier, tie-downs and harness fasteners. It’s fully modular, so optional interchangeable accessories and components may be purchased separately to create a unique shoulder system all your own.

The VHS 4.0 for the 4” X Frame is ambidextrous and available in tan at an MSRP of $259.

The SERPA CQC concealment holster line is one of the most popular platforms for law enforcement officers, military personnel and responsible citizens. The new models are available in a right-hand configuration with a matte finish.

XS Sights Supports National Breast Cancer Foundation

From XS Sights

As a proud supporter of National Breast Cancer Foundation, (NBCF), XS Sights is offering an exclusive Pink version of its DXT2 Big Dot Tritium Night Sight through the month of October.  XS’s ‘Aim for Hope’ initiative will support the outstanding work of NBCF which provides help and inspires hope to those affected by breast cancer.  The foundation’s focus is on early detection, education, and support services.  XS Sights is committed through this campaign to donating a minimum of $3,000 to NBCF and the programs they provide.


“As a majority women-owned business, we are blessed to have the opportunity to support NBCF in helping women facing the cancer fight.  Our family has first-hand experience with the impact of the cancer journey…and most importantly the benefit of a supportive network and the hope it provides.  We are grateful to have this opportunity to support NBCF in providing resources during this life-changing experience as so many have done for our loved ones,” said Kellie Brunn, Co-Owner of XS Sights. 

XS also wants to help bring awareness to women about the importance of carrying a firearm for self-defense. Michelle Waldran, a Team Walther Shooter, handgun instructor, and XS Sights Ambassador, said, “Starting your journey as a female gun owner or just making the decision to carry a gun for self-defense can be overwhelming and scary.  The key to safe gun ownership is knowledge. Prepare yourself by acquiring safe practices, elevated situational awareness, and training. It’s a lifestyle dedication.”

And if you own an AR, take a look at the company’s new offset backup sights below.

The popular XS DXT2 Big Dot Tritium Night Sights offer the best front sight visibility in all lightconditions.  The design of the sight – a large dot that is 0.188” in diameter with high-contrast front and a low-profile V-notch rear – coupled with the technology used in the proprietary photoluminescent glow dot that surrounds the tritium, drive the focus to the front sight and downrange threat in any light.

The limited-edition pink color is more than a statement of support, it offers a high-contrast sight picture when shooting in bright light conditions and maintains its visibility well in decreasing light levels.  In low light, the Pink Big Dot glows white to provide contrast against the green tritium. The photoluminescent properties absorb all ambient light, even from the tritium, intensifying the

charge of the glow properties of the dot. This combination ensures the front sight will glow brighter than the rear to increase focus towards the front sight and the threat.

Another advantage of the XS Big Dot design is the dot-the “i” sight picture, with a tritium dot in the front sight and a tritium bar in the rear.  This helps prevent confusing the front and rear sight in high-stress situations. In most gunfights, the victim and attacker are both moving, and the wide field of view offered by the shallow V rear of the Big Dot increases the visibility of the front sight and the threat downrange.

The Pink Big Dot is available for the Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, & 45 and Glock 42, 43, 43X, & 48 models. Installation might require filing to fit the sight into the dovetail.  Do not use a sight press or sight pusher tool.  Once installed, the Big Dot Night Sight fits in standard holsters.

Pink Big Dot Night Sight sets will be available at opticsplanet.com or xssights.com through the month of October while supplies last.

All tritium sights from XS are backed by a 10-year, No-Questions-Asked Warranty and 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee.  The company also increased its sight lineup.

Comp-Tac Blue Duty Holster Series Expanded

From Comp-Tac

Comp-Tac released a new version of its Blue Duty Holster for guns without light attachments, the Blue Duty – No Light.

This new addition to the Blue Duty Holster Series™ includes many of the same key features as the rest of the series, such as adjustable tension via a retention screw, up to 16 different mounting configurations with the three-piece International Mount Kit, and level-two retention with the spring-loaded, thumb activated bale. This holster is intended for officers or other users who want a level-two retention holster in a smaller footprint than the original two Blue Duty variants.

Comp-Tac® developed this series with direct input from the law enforcement community such as the LAPD. The Blue Duty Holster Series features two additional variants for guns with light attachments, an optic covered version for extra protection and an optic uncovered version for smaller footprint.

“The Blue Duty Holster Series, complete with level-two retention, has had major growth since its release in January,” noted Gordon Carrell, Comp-Tac general manager. “As more customers come across it, we have gotten a significant number of requests for additional make and model fits, additional lights, as well as a fit that did not need a light attached to the firearm. The Blue Duty – No Light is a great option for customers who are looking for the level-two retention with a red-dot optic and not the added cost of a light/laser that does not fit their purpose. The smaller footprint and modular mounting system give this holster added flexibility for law enforcement, military or the general public.”

Blue Duty Holster Series™ – No Light: MSRP – $135.00
