lights

The adaptive, modular rifle handguard is responsible for a great many jobs and small businesses in the United States. Who knew attaching a rail to a rifle could launch a number of industries?

A good way to start a fight amongst your friends is to bring up the subject of lights and lasers for concealed carry guns. Opinions run strong on this one, and they are all over the map. Some will tell you lasers build bad habits, and you should never have one. Some will tell you lights get in the way on a CCW piece, and you shouldn’t use one anyway. And some will just tell you that if John Moses Browning intended you to have a laser and light, he would have built one back in 1910.

Evildoers prefer the cover of darkness for crime. With a flashlight, you control the light and have the advantage. More light provides better information. Bad things come when you stay in the dark.

A lumen has a technical definition, but generally speaking, it’s about as bright as a single candle. More importantly for this discussion, a lumen measures the total energy output of a light without regard for beam angle.

A few months back, we had a report on the initial product launch from a new company called BlackFire. A division of Klein Tool, they have been making some waves in the outdoor space. For the fall and winter seasons, they have a boatload of new products that you are going to love. This week, we are taking a look at the flashlight offerings.

One of the awesome new products from Holosun is the Solar Charging Sight- MOS (SCS), a reflex sight that mounts directly to pistol; allowing lower mounting and better blending to firearms.

SureFire is rolling out a new line of weapon lights called the Scoutlight Pro series with modular visible and infrared and white light systems.

The XVL2 is a pistol-mounted light and laser that operates in both the visible spectrum and infrared spectrum.  Allowing the operator to use the associated light and laser with or without night vision devices.

SureFire is the industry leader in flashlights, no question about that. New for 2018, an absolute gaggle of changes across the board.
