New from ROSCH Works: SL1 Sight-Light

ROSCH Words SL1 Sight-Light (courtesy roschworks.com)

Optimized for 12 o’clock mounting on rifles with top rails, ROSCH Works SL1’s 250+ lumen lighthead was designed “in collaboration with LED lighting industry legend Gene Malkoff,” Wait. The LED lighting industry has a legendary designer? Yes, wherever LED industry folks gather—whether it’s a dingy hotel bar near a poorly lit conference center or a small cubicle with lumen-appropriate task lighting—the name Malkoff is uttered with quasi-religious reverence. At some point someone intones the sacred words: ”I Love God, My Family, and My Country. It is my Belief that Traditional Family Values and Honest Work are the Pathway to Happiness.” Where was I? “The combined light & sight saves rail space and weighs only 3.2 ounces with a CR123 battery and is less than 3.5” long, making it the lightest and smallest solution for providing both a light and front sight! The twisty style tailcap provides quick, momentary activation that is ideal for quick bursts of light on the target in between moving between shooting positions.” Nick’s all over it.

  1. I had an autocrosser show me that the true demonstration of skill is when someone grabs your gun/car/bike/board and then beats your score with it. I’m looking forward to Ms. Weiss showing us all just how good she is.

  2. Most of the people I know have a gun, or several, but that’s probably selection bias on my part.
    I will say that the gun shows here–which I’ve quit going to–are pretty much 99% OFWG though. usually charging absurd amounts of money for used guns too.

  3. I’ve had one for several years. No complaints. I’ve done nothing to it besides shoot it and clean it. I don’t recall if there were any malfunctions during break in as I always assume a new gun needs to be broken in and a minor malfunction during break in wouldn’t log in my memory as notable. I’ve carried it a lot, daily, using their clip. I consider it reliable, and great for what it is, a defensive handgun that powerful enough to do the job, reliable, accurate for it’s purpose and cheap enough to be considered a car gun that you won’t cry too hard over if it’s stolen. I had started carrying an XDs more recently just because it’s a .45 but I just discovered the recall. I’ll go back to my PF9 for now.

    PS: I did take a sharp pocket knife and scrape the sharp edges off of the plastic where needed.

  4. Seems like a completely unnatural place to put a light. Your front sight should be as far down your rifle as possible to maximize accuracy, whereas a tactical light (which you don’t really need anyway) should be right next to your support hand. I love a light that’s integrated into a foregrip because it’s a natural combination of roles. This? to me, DOA.

  5. The next blood and there will be unfortunately sooner or later.
    Will be on Obamas hands.
    As long as the libatards push for disarmament.
    Criminals and nut cases who don’t or cant obey laws will do what they do and it will be the fault of the Cuomos and Obamas of the world.
    Yes they will wave the bloody shirts again but it will be their collective idiotic fault.
    Keeping kids in a gun free zone is just asking for it.
    Having a gun free zone is just asking for a disaster to occur.
    What better place for it??
    Its getting closer to a little bit of civilian non compliance time.
    If I still were living in NY.
    Id volunteer to be at the head of the line.
    Enough is enough already………..God help me and let me be wrong for a looooooooong time.

  6. Corey, I have 2 of the M57’s, best thing to do is not attempt to make the Yugo into some “Tactical -add everything you can onto” pistols, buy a more modern pistol if that is your intent.

    My reason for saying that is because the M57 is a slim , easy to carry automatic, one of the most beneficial changes you can do is buy some Marschal wrap around wood grips for the Yugo, I have them on both of my M57’s, not cheap, but high quality, and enhanced handling. Just my opinion.

  7. The next step for MDA:

    Call them out for what they are – A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. They foster terrorism by promoting mass shootings by “copy cat” psychos, and have openly threatened the members and leadership of the NRA.

    NSA and JTTC, you on this?
