BE Meyers is unveiling their new MAWL-DA carbine aiming laser/illum device at SOFIC.

I'm not sure if it is a Class I unit, but it sure looks cool: http://www.bemeyers-mawl.us/index.html

Anyone have any more info?

Looks awesome.

I'd like to get my hands on one.

Welp... assuming theres a class 1 version, there's the next huge purchase I'll have to hide from my wife.  And I just finally broke down and upgraded my I2 to an A3.

Pretty decent run down on SSD this morning:

It also as the magic words
I really hope this is better thought out than Wilcox's Civilian Variant. It needs the hi/lo and adjustability features of the Steiner units and a usable illuminator.

Maybe by the time it exists I'll have the money to finally upgrade from my Vital

VITAL is a nice unit, if you're not a southpaw!

Finally, MAWL-DA is ambidextrous. Due to the modular design, the body can be reversed with the activation buttons right where you need them, at the top of the rail. It even knows if it is configured for right or left hand use, keeping the “A” button to the rear.

I spoke to Matt Meyers just a few Minutes ago, this thing looks extremely impressive, and there are future plans to release a class 1 civilian legal laser version in the works.

The quote I remember
"When we demo it we show LA-5's and PEQ-15's first to show folks how much better this laser is"

im in for one. my only complaint with my Atpial-c is the "fire" button is on top and I have small hands forcing me to use a tape switch.

Looks good. Much better UI and more ergo package. Not really seeing to many negatives.

The MAWL is like nothing else on the market or that has been on the market to include the Atilla. MAWL is a modular laser that is very user friendly to switch between the power settings, activate it, and, go from vis laser to ir. While yes we have been talking about a civilian version the current production models are limited to LE/Mil sales due to the current power settings they are shipping with.

The switch in the photo is a surefire SR07-D-IT to be able to activate the laser and the light.

Since someone from BE Meyers is here I'll give you my thoughts on a civilian version, which I'm sure will echo many of the others here.

1. If LDI/Steiner and Insight have shown anything it's there is a HUGE civilian market for IR lasers.

2. A civilian variant will significantly reduce the demand for black/grey market units, which your company is HUGE on combating.

3. Don't just glue the power level and beam adjustment switch to "low" (like the ATPIAL-C", make the power fully adjustable from the minimum to maximum allowed by law. Make the unit with the full functionality of the standard unit even though the power output levels will need to be lowered.

Hopefully the "modular" part means you just need to focus on a replacement Class 1 "head" while leaving the rest of the unit as-is.

Yes, yes, and finally yes. This is the first unit ive seen that just does it. Compact, ergonomic, its just.........right.

This thing could blow up in the civilian market if its priced right, but id probably pay more for it than current offerings without batting an eye.

That makes me an old feller... LOL.

Anyway, hope we get some more details/photos as SOFIC gets underway.

Naw, only for the ones who are the wize guys....FYI, units are going out to select testers so things are progressing quite nicely.

A few of our crew who are attending SOFIC next week are really looking forward to seeing the MAWL.

It's kinda ironic that during development and testing for a year they'd bring it by my office for testing with various guns and accessories and I couldn't take a picture, but now that it's finally gone public, the crushing demand to get hands on for these has resulted in bingo MAWLs being available even for a cell phone snap LOL



SOFIC's just 5 days away.  I'm hoping I'll be able to get my paws on afterwards.

I bugged TroyInd for 2+ yrs about the Troy BattleRail for the MP5, I figure a few months of bugging for TALS won't hurt TNVC.  And when TNVC drops it, it will probably be PERFECT.
