The Rail Master fits almost any firearm with a Picatinny rail and adds less than 2oz to the overall weight, while incorporating the most powerful laser available by law. The MVF-515 has an incredibly long run time and offers the additional benefit of a blinding, 200 lumen white light to enable the use of daytime optics as well as night vision devices. Crimson Trace will also introduce IR versions of its instinctively-activated Lasergrips\u00ae for the 1911 and Glock pistols, assuring the same night vision compatible performance for sidearms.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15029\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15029\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15029\" title=\"CMR-201-IR_XD_Ghosted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/CMR-201-IR_XD_Ghosted-300x234.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/CMR-201-IR_XD_Ghosted-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/CMR-201-IR_XD_Ghosted.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CMR-201-IR<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The company subjected the new IR sights to the same rigorous testing protocols as their standard products, but in this instance went a little further. \u201cListening \u00a0to our customers and the marketplace, adding these \u00a0IR platforms to our commercial line up address consistent requests we receive as the market leader,\u201c ,\u201d said Kent Thomas, Director of Marketing for Crimson Trace. \u201cIn preparation for the launch, we \u00a0field-tested the Rail Master\u2019s performance on two Texas hog hunts this spring. \u00a0In both cases, they turned in outstanding performances and surpassed our already high expectations on multiple weapon platforms in complete darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crimsontrace.com\" target=\"_blank\">crimsontrace.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Wilsonville, OR) Drawing heavily on technology developed in support of America\u2019s warfighters by its defense division, Crimson Trace will introduce a line of Infra Red (IR) laser sights for the civilian market.\u00a0 Observable only through night vision equipment, these laser sights offer the user the ability to mark a target invisibly, which is a boon [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":15027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[58,744],"tags":[109],"class_list":["post-15025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-from-the-industry","category-new-products","tag-crimson-trace"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15025\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
