Night vision devices and accessories are becoming very popular as surplus and commercially made devices are becoming much more common and affordable. One problem many people run into when they are building out a night vision capable weapon is the addition of both visible light and a centerline mounted IR illuminator. To help solve this problem, Arson Machine Co has just dropped their latest product, the ATPIAL AN/PEQ-15 Centerline mount.

Welcome back to another installment of Friday Night Lights where I review things that help you see at night. Today we take a look at a somewhat obscure accessory by Black Optex called the Zero Lens. It converts a PVS-14 into a CNVD (Clip-on Night Vision Device). Allowing you to take further shots with a day optic on your rifle of choice.

If you have been following my Friday Night Lights series, I have written about the PSQ-20 before but didn’t realize the generational changes until I acquired the final and older PSQ-20.

The same people who made the JerryC, InfiRay, have made their own take on the PSQ-20 and call it the JerryF. Let’s do another deep dive into some thermal fusion monoculars. The Friday Night Lights series is sponsored by ATN Corp, manufacturers of night vision and thermal optics like the THOR LT.

I don’t normally use iron sights. Not when I can mount a red dot. But AMERIGLO offered up some of their iron sights for review and I opted for the AMERIGLO Tritium MBUS Pro front sight as well as optic height compatible tritium sights for my Glock 19X. Normally tritium and night vision do not go well with each other but you can use them and I will share with you how.

Welcome to the first episode of the TFB B-Side Podcast. The B-Side podcast is going to be a little less focused and a little more light-hearted than the TFB Behind the Gun Podcast. This week I brought on one of TFBTV’s favorite presenters, Hop.  On today’s show, Hop and I discuss what we call the Hierarchy of Gear Needs and how it applies to responsible citizens going about their daily business. We talk all about the gear and firearms that you run into out in the wild and hopefully provide a perspective to those new to the industry for what order to buy your gear in if you’re interested in becoming prepared incrementally for unforeseen events. Let us know your thoughts and experiences with this subject after you listen and we look forward to hearing from you in the next episode.

By far the most popular way to aim a rifle in complete darkness is with IR lasers in tandem with a night vision device. IR lasers give you great accuracy potential and a less complicated aiming process when you are equipped with a head-mounted night vision device. Viridian Weapon Technologies has just added the new HS1 infrared hand stop laser to their existing lineup of visible red and green rifle-mounted lasers.
