I will answer some of the questions on the new Tor-Mini IR VP
**Please keep in mind we set out to manufacture a SIMPLE IR pointer with the least moving parts to insure it's affordable.**  Some of the highlights...

- Battery can be removed from the top knurled knob while the TOR is mounted, no need to remove to replace a battery which is a CR 1/3N. Also when replacing the battery, the unit remembers what power setting was last selected.

- Battery duration is a bit hard to get exact measures, with 3 power settings, but at constant on and max power (.7mW), the battery should last 24hrs +.

- No pressure switch capability but two large activation textured pads that works great with gloves and has a great feel. I worked very closely with several variations to insure the pressure pads work great with HG's, PDW's and long guns that are positioned the best we could for manipulation for both southpaws and righties.

-Height over bore is very low (don't have the exact height, but will get the dimension) and positioned in-line with the bore.  It sits below all FSP's and a small footprint to sit in front of FSP's and great with PDW's, SMG's and other real estate crimped rails.

-Holes on the side are indeed for the rail screws for different positions and other holes for windage/elevation. We did not go "clicks" like that for a few reasons to minimize more moving parts with springs, etc, but worked a great deal with very good tension adjustments. Thousands of rounds combining, HG's, rifles (556 and .308's) with no zero hold issues. (I will get the exact MOA per full turn from the engineers when I get back from the show)

-The activation of the TOR-MIN IR VP laser is pretty nifty and works well.
Press and hold either the left of right pads for approx 2.5 seconds and the laser cycles .2mW, .4 and .7. If you constantly hold the pad down the laser continues to step through each intensity until you let go at your power choice. Takes about a full second to step through each power level while holding down the left or right pads.

-Momentary on is a press and hold for approx 3/4 of a second and constant on is a quick press and release.

-The unit is water resistant and not submersible.

As I mentioned we have around a dozen units in-hand for the show and as I write very large QTY's are being produced. Looking at  Feb/March release.

We will have a special Shot Show add to cart special for the initial release. You will also see this new LAM at many dealer locations with a large dealer network being established. Even though we are the exclusive distributor we are planning to offer it to many dealers. If you are a dealer, please give us an email to sales at tnvc dot com.  By the looks of Shot, many dealers are signing up to offer it.

In closing, we really hope you may like this simple IR LAM. There was a large void IMHO for many years for this type of pointer that offers simplicity, durability and affordability.  So you all know, I actually started this product design with Laser Devices many years ago up in Monterrey Ca. before Steiner acquired them.  Very happy and excited we finally got it done.

Sorry for the delay, just getting back from Shot.

All the parts getting machined now, should be ready Feb/March. Price is set at $260 with introductory Shot Show pricing going up on our web site for pre-order in a few weeks.

Thanks and sorry again for the delayed response.

Thanks guys!  Production is moving along.

I think the Viz Tor mini's are shipping this spring. Getting close I hear.

I agree with your assessment 100% of the Tor Mini's. Durable, compact, great variable power. I guess even the Viz unit will have our IR units variable power design incorporated into it which is very cool for low light work.

Still working hard on getting a few thousand on hand for the initial orders.

Yeppers.

No Sir, final QA is still in progress. W e think it's critically important these release during these times.

Yes, 1/3N's for the Tor Mini IR's.

We've had some final QA slowdowns due to limited staff, but work is still getting done. Almost there and always sorry for the delay.

We really think you'll like what you see for the price, and yes Made in the USA except for the circuit board. I hope one day 95% of the circuit boards made overseas will come back here!

This. I will be in for a couple...

@tnvc Wife said our trump bux came through. Just sayin......

We hope next week!

Gentlemen we are LIVE!!! First small batch of units shipping tomorrow, additional units inbound, get em while their hot. Sorry we're personally not allowed to post direct links to our web site, but lookeee HERE!

Our apologies with the slight delay getting these out.  

Sorry UPS $2 and some change more. (and no not using USPS ).  All the carriers had a 6-8% increase in rates as well during the pandemic.  We do not pocket any monies on the rates.

We've had some issues with packages damaged in transit through USPS so we do not use USPS for tracking.

You could always buy two and a pack of stickers or a poster for free Ground shipping on orders of $500 and up.

Compliments of Augee from someone who wanted to know what this looked like on a pistola as well.
