RSL XD / XD(M)

LaserLyte® Returns to Basics with a very affordable rear sight laser for the Springfield XD/XD pistols.

LaserLyte® returns to basics with the patented RTB-XD rear sight laser that fits the Springfield XD/XDM firearms. The high performance laser built into a rear sight specifically designed for Springfield XD/XDM pistols features a simple, ambidextrous “press and go” activation. The laser is easily programmable to either constant on or pulse mode.

Tucson, AZ – With the new accessory riflescope mount ring adaptor, predator hunters can now attach the NIGHTRAZOR spotlight to their fire- arms.

“Coonhunters tell us that they their love their hat- mounted NIGHTRAZOR spotlights, and they asked us to come up with a method of attaching our light to their rifles,” commented Gary Williams, Tri-Tronics Marketing and Sales Manager. “Our engineers designed the accessory adaptor to be compatible with Weaver or Picatinny-rail style scope rings.”

Weighing only 5.2 ounces, the NIGHTRAZOR cordless spotlight runs off a rechargeable, long-lasting battery. The compact, rugged, waterproof design includes four levels of bright- ness intensity and battery life indicator. The NIGHTRAZOR offers a S_O_S flashing option can be used in cases of emergencies. A quick flashing Strobe mode can be used to catch the eye of a curious raccoon or signal a hunting partner.

“Red and Amber filters are available as additional accessories to provide additional stealth, perfect for hunting wild hogs, coyotes, or other predators at night,” stated Williams.

“It’s reliable, compact, has phenomenal battery life, super lightweight, and weapon mount- able,” remarked A.P. Jones, owner of AllPredatorCalls.com. “If you started with a clean sheet of paper with the intent to design the ideal night hunting light, it would be called the NIGHTRAZOR”

In addition to the riflescope adaptors ($7.95), the NIGHTRAZOR can be used as a cap- mounted spotlight, in either a baseball-style cap with liner or a hard plastic helmet. An accessory headband-style mount will be available in May. The Tri-Tronics NIGHTRAZOR is backed by a 2-year warranty and is made in the USA.

GREEN GUN LASERS ARE MUCH BRIGHTER

Posted on by

As many know, laser sights can be very beneficial; but there is one major flaw… ordinary red lasers can be next to impossible to see in most daylight conditions. The benefit of a green laser is that it is much more visible, allowing for it to be used anytime, day or night, indoors or outdoors, permitting you to track your target quicker and more accurately. Additionally, because green lasers are so much more visible to the human eye, you can actually see a very intimidating visible beam in low-light conditions.

The Difference is Clear

During the Day

During the Day
Which is more visible to you? On the left we see a traditional red laser sight, compared to the green Viridian in broad daylight. The lasers were at a distance of 25 feet from the wall.

At Night

At Night
On the left you can see how visible the beam can actually get during dark or dimmer conditions.

Overcast, In the woods

Shown to the left is an additional day shot, which again shows the dramatic difference.

Why Green Lasers are More Visible

Green is closer to the center of the visible spectrum, at 532 Nanometers, so it’s easier for our eyes to perceive the color vs. a red laser at 635 Nanometers. In fact, a green laser can appear as much as 50 times brighter than the red equivalent and as can be seen from the below charts 532 nm is the ideal wavelength to maximize visibility during day or night.

In Daytime Conditions the human eye has maximum sensitivity

In Nighttime Conditions the human eye has maximum sensitivity
