In the quest to improve officer safety—and performance—during low-light deadly-force encounters, many agencies have added emerging new technologies such as red-dot optics, tritium sights, and weapon-mounted flashlights. Over-reliance on these technologies can be problematic. Training is key.
Streamlight Inc. has introduced the TLR-8 A and the TLR-8 A G, featuring red or green aiming lasers, and offering ergonomic rear switch options with either a low or high position to match users’ shooting style. Both lights deliver 500 lumens and feature a rail clamp that attaches and detaches easily from the side of a broad array of compact and full frame weapons.
Streamlight Inc. has introduced the TLR-VIR II, a lightweight, compact rail-mounted tactical light.
The FACT Duty WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. The weapon-mounted camera provides a clear view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras.
Streamlight Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, added a new low-profile model to its extensive line of TLR rail-mounted tactical lights, the TLR-8 G, featuring an "Eye Safe" green aiming laser.
Both of Nightstick's new long-gun weapon lights feature a rear-mounted single, dual-action momentary and constant-on thumb button to provide the shooter immediate, tactile, click-action feedback.
The extremely lightweight TLR-7 delivers 500 lumens and fits a broad range of full-size and compact handguns for a variety of concealed carry and law enforcement uses.
Streamlight's newest addition to its TLR line of weapon lights is ideal for compact and subcompact pistols.
