That’s great news for Pentagon. It only proves they are one of more progressive companies on the market. Any LaRue mount must be seen as an upgrade over its competition.

didn't notice it was a light/laser. Now it makes sense. They should go green though.

They also have a variant with the lower section used for a NAV LED. Pretty cool stuff. |

There is also a really good/large pic in PL's ad in the new issue of American Cop. Full-page, full-color ad.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a trend.
Kudos to LaRue and Pentagon! |

Thats what I was thinking as well. No doubt Surefire will keep raising its prices to combat their losses in sales. If they were smart, they would create another division to go after the other companies that are creating an affordable product. |

On Page 1 of the latest Shotgun news ARMS took out a full page ad touting the advantages of their throw lever system.
No joke, the only picture in the whole ad is the throw lever by itself just sitting there, and a bunch of reasons why it and it alone is the only system trusted by the Industry. |

What's the expected price for the combo? What Pentagon lights will it fit on?

I've been looking at the pics in SWAT and kept telling myself that I had seen the clmaping system before.

without dissing one or the other, what makes the LaRue a better mount?
I do not own any LT mounts, but to the uninitiated, it looks much heavier, and uses nuts and bolts Nuts and bolts? (none damning, mind you) on second thought...............N/M |

Mark is a great guy. The LaRue mount beats the ARMS all over the place. It's adjustable. ARMS doesn't fit well on all pieces of rail. We can argue about whether the rails meet spec, but the reality is that even rails that meet spec have some variation - the spec allows that, it has too - all specs have a tolerance. The ARMS doesn't adjust for this, and isn't adjustable. The Larue is adjustable. The ARMS you have to hook one side, then cantilever over, and get a little metal pressure pad to clear the other side of the rail. Not something that's easy to do in the dark. The Larue you just stick it straight on, flip the lever. I've had ARMS fit loose on rails, and fit so tight I've needed tools to get the lever flipped.  So much for QR.Once you have them both, the choice is very clear |

The biggest reason for me to choose LT is the locking feature. I do not want my $$$ light falling off.
As for the rest of the differences, they have been covered in other threads. Weazer |

I started talking to the owner of Pentagon lights many months ago about switching to LT mounts. It is good to see my efforts were not in vain.

Now for a drop mount!!
 Is PL going to offer a trade in program? Can I send in my ARMS 17S and get a free Larue replacment? You know, like how Home Depot will take a busted Craftsman tool and replace it with one of their own brand? (At least they used to.) Well, didn't think so, but you never know....

Maybe. If PL is owned by Magpul, just maybe  .

Hmm? Never knew Home Depot would take broken Craftsman tools in trade. Does Sears know about this? |
