Now, InfiRay Outdoor has released the RH25 V2, a significant evolution of its predecessor that improves nearly every aspect of its design while retaining the versatility that made the original so popular.

Editor’s Note: At SHOT Show 2025, NOCPIX introduced a new model to this lineup; the NOCPIX ACE S60R.

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.

The InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 is a solid choice for a thermal riflescope for nighttime predator hunting. It is packed with features you will use, has an industry leading warranty, and is on sale for less than $4,000.

Whether you need bright white light or covert IR illumination, the Parma C2IR Pro is equipped to handle both.

I have been a fan of Streamlight for most of my life. With that in mind, you can understand how eager I was to try a TLR-7 HL-X when Streamlight offered to send me one for review.
