Laser & Lights

Anything you attach to a gun requires you to be skilled in its use. Today is all about the know-how when it comes to using weapon lights for defensive shooting.

The Maztech X4-LRF is the newest entry in the weapon-mounted laser rangefinder (WMLRF) space, and it does a lot more than just ranging targets.

The Watchman runs on a single 18650 rechargeable battery and has three brightness levels. It is built from aircraft-grade aluminum, carries an IP67 waterproof rating, and includes a 30 mm ring mount.

Weapon-mounted lights have become increasingly popular on modern firearms due to their improved power and general usefulness for defensive shooting.

After weeks of testing, I can confidently say the NPL27 offers more than just good specs on paper.

This is my second experience with a SIG Sauer weapon light, and I’m mostly impressed with the SIG FOXTROT-MSR Compact weapon light. 

Choosing the right weapon light can be overwhelming, but the Holosun RAID (Rifle Area Illumination Device) stands out with its impressive performance and user-focused design.

In this article, we will cover the specs and features of all four of Holosun’s new IRIS lasers starting with the IRIS-1 and working our way to the full-featured IRIS-4. 

Streamlight introduced the TLR-8 HL-X for SHOT Show 2025. This is a new high-power compact pistol light/laser combo based on the original TLR-8.
