MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – January 17, 2023 – Viridian Weapon Technologies is proud to re-introduce its impressive line of the best and brightest lasers and green lights on the market, the Series C. Now, everyday carry enthusiasts and loyal fans of the Series C can take control with Viridian’s new patent-pending SafeCharge technology combined with a proven and popular lineup.

New C Series offerings include the C5™, C5L ™, CTL ™ and CTL+ ™, all compatible with Viridian’s SafeCharge system. The original line includes two of the best light-only products in Viridian history, a nice complement to the laser options that put Viridian on the map. These new products offer excellent performance and an innovative and effective recharging process to ensure law enforcement, military and civilians are charged and ready for the field.

The SafeCharge system allows Viridian accessories to be charged anywhere, ensuring maximum battery life. Connection is simple and SafeCharge will automatically activate, charge the accessory, then turn off. This eliminates the need to manually start or stop the charger or worry about optimal battery performance. Each full charge of SafeCharge charges a Viridian C-Series accessory five times.

“We took the iconic C-Series and created an entirely new line of rechargeable laser systems to work when you need them most,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “When the gun is removed from a holster, the light/laser is on. After introducing the revolutionary green laser sights almost 20 years ago, we know that green is best seen by human eyes. We are delighted to offer our in-house SafeCharge system to ensure our customers are ready to take charge in any situation.”

The reintroduced C-Series lasers feature Viridian’s unmatched INSTANT-ON technology, a new holster retention feature for never-before-seen compatibility, and adjustable universal rail mounts. The new and improved series includes:

Richmond Hill, Georgia (January 17, 2022) – Fully enclosed optics have long been the benchmark for durability. Having emitters protected from dirt and debris makes sense in harsh environments. Also, the optical glass is well protected from unnecessary scratches and damage. While not always necessary, users often prefer this added peace of mind in their optics when used in high failure areas due to physical damage or abrasive elements. What’s even more difficult is finding an optic that meets all of these needs and is small enough to mount on a pistol. C&H Serves the precision consumers need in DUTY pistol optics.

The DUTY is an enclosed side-clamp mount optic that keeps dust, rain, twigs, grass, or other foreign objects out of the optic. Manufactured from a one-piece CNC aircraft aluminum housing, it comes crash rated to +P and +P+ and is water resistant. Additionally, the IPX7 rating allows 1 meter submersion for up to 30 minutes. A CR 2023 lithium battery is attached to power an optic with a lifespan of 50,000 hours. A shake and automatic shutdown after 5 minutes are standard to preserve battery life.

DUTY comes with two reticle color options; Red or green. Additionally, there is an option for a multiple reticle system. While a 3 MOA dot comes standard on all models, the multi-reticle system comes with a 48 MOA circle that can be used independently or in conjunction with the 3 MOA dot. These reticles have ten brightness settings, two of which are night vision compatible.

No one can predict the exact environment they will find themselves in when they need to defend themselves. An optic that can handle a wide range of environmental hazards and operate at maximum efficiency takes the guesswork out of choosing optics. DUTY by C&H Precision provides the best protection for a pistol optic; it is at home both in the sand and in the swamp.

CHARACTERISTICS:

• 10 brightness levels: 1 and 2 are night vision compatible
• Motion control: shake to wake up
• Smart power management: automatic shutdown after 5 minutes of inactivity
• 50,000 hours of battery life
• CNC machined 1-piece body – aircraft grade aluminum

January 2023, (Accokeek, MD): Stoeger Industries, maker of high-performance shotguns, self-defense pistols, and air pistols, updates its popular M3500 and P3500 series of shotguns for 2023. Whether a shooter wants to break clays or kill birds and upland game, the M3500 and P3500 series are ready.

Renowned for their smooth operation, durability and reliability, Stoeger shotguns are a favorite with those looking for a “fair price” shooter that will put meat in the freezer and provide memories to last a lifetime.

For 2023, the M3500 lineup gets an upgraded design. Of course, those who put their trust in the Stoeger name can still count on a tough shotgun that will perform no matter what the weather or environment, but now that shotgun has been scaled down for better handling. This leads to consistent framing and improves downrange accuracy. The grip is also thinner and the view from the receiver to the rib is lower.

Still, Stoeger didn’t slow down. Engineers worked to add more useful features to benefit both clay hunters and bird hunters. An oversized bolt handle increases functionality when the hunter’s hands are wrapped in thick gloves. The catch is larger, the front end is redesigned, and the magazine lid is easier to grip and remove. A beveled mag port makes reloading fast and efficient, and a new recoil pad prevents shoulder abuse even when firing heavy loads. The cheek piece, which is available on all models besides satin walnut, adds comfort, but is also removable to ensure custom fit and feel.

Pump-action fans will appreciate the P3500’s synthetic checkered stock with an integrated swivel bolt to ensure easy sling attachment and, like the M3500 series, the grip has been tapered. Dual-cylinder steel bars promise non-stick, repeatable pumping action, and the rotating bolt head ensures positive steel-to-steel locking that increases strength and overall durability.

For 2023, the P3500 is available in two barrel-length models, 26-inch and 28-inch, and both are wrapped in Realtree’s Max-7 camo. Capable of riding 2 3/4, 3 and 3 1/2 in. bikes. cartridges with ease, this economical pump action promises years and years of fail-safe performance.

Whether you’re a clay shooter, migratory hunter, or lover of highland pursuits, Stoeger went the extra mile to create a shotgun to fit every need, and this line of budget-friendly shotguns demands attention, from the M3500 Waterfowl Special to the M3500 Snow Goose to the P3500 models wrapped in new camouflage patterns.

The new M3500 and P3500 series for 2023 include:

• Model 3500 – 12 Gauge, 3-1/2″ – Black Synthetic (#36024, 28-inch barrel), (#36009, 26-inch barrel) MSRP: $669
