Viking Arms Stands With Ukraine

March 3, 2022

#STANDWITHUKRAINE 

Viking Arms proudly stands with Ukraine, and all its citizens during these troubling and difficult times, and we condemn the unfounded acts of war and aggression, of Russian forces on sovereign Ukrainian soil. 
We urge all members of our industry, and all our international friends and partners, to provide whatever support is within their power, to help those displaced from their homes, and the forces defending Ukraine. 
The Disasters Emergency Committee, which is a coalition of 15 leading UK charities, has recently launched a collective appeal to provide emergency aid and rapid relief to civilians suffering during the conflict. Many other charities are also helping to provide vital life-saving services, like water, food and healthcare, to those caught up in the conflict, including those forced to flee to neighbouring countries. 
Managing Director, Sam Macarthur said, “The Ukrainian humanitarian crisis fills our hearts and minds as we watch those displaced from their homes and in such desperate need of support on every level. Through the life-saving work of organisations like The Disasters Emergency Committee we all have the ability to do more than just watch and actually support those efforts.”

Our pledge to the defence community whether serving, veteran, reservist or family member that we will do all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and without disadvantage commits to paper business values that have been in practice since Viking began. Over the years, I have seen just how much the Armed Forces community contributes to business. Veterans and their families bring a wealth of skills, experience, and innovation to the workplace and we salute all of our team members who have served.”

TLR-1HL and TLR-2 HLG now offer 800 Lumens – as used by UK Police Firearms Teams 
EAGLEVILLE, PA – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, announced that it increased the light output of the TLR® gun-mounted high lumen (HL) lights, the TLR-1HL and the TLR-2 HLG. Each of the models now delivers 800 lumens of blinding white light.
The upgraded models give tactical users full situational awareness by delivering extreme brightness in a wide beam pattern, similar to that of a flood light. The TLR-2HLG features a 510-530 nanometer green aiming laser, to improve focusing on targets, particularly in daylight. Both models feature strobing capability.
The lightweight, compact lights each feature the latest in LED technology, including a shock-proof C4® LED and a special optic that produces a concentrated beam with optimum peripheral illumination.

The lights can be quickly and safely attached to most weapons, without the need for users to put their hands in front of the muzzle. They mount directly to all MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rails and handguns with Glock-style rails, and offer highly accurate sight repeatability when remounting. A key kit with five interchangeable keys is included with each light to securely fit it to a broad array of weapons. The strobe feature, which can be disabled, is activated with two or more momentary paddle hits.
The TLR-1HL offer 1.75 hours of continuous run time, while the TLR-2 HLG provides 1.50 hours. Both lights use two included 3-volt, CR123A lithium batteries. The TLR-1 HL weighs 4.18 ounces, while the TLR-2HLG weighs 4.78 ounces. Both measure 3.39 inches in length.
All of the models are fabricated from 6000 series machined aluminium, feature impact-resistant construction and have been extensively live-fired tested. The TLR-1 HL is IPX7 rated for waterproof operation to 1 meter for 30 minutes, while the TLR-2HLG offers an IPX4 rated design for water-resistant operation.

Viking Arms Ltd are the newly appointed UK distributors of Leupold Optics

August 8, 2016

Viking Arms Ltd is delighted to announce they have partnered with well-known optics manufacturer Leupold & Stevens to distribute their line of high performance optics in both the UK Tactical and Sporting markets. The Leupold line will perfectly complement Viking’s existing portfolio of Tactical Optics and Firearms.

Andy Gann, Sales Director at Viking Arms said ‘‘We are proud to be partnering with Leupold and Stevens Inc. The Leupold product perfectly complements Viking’s existing portfolio of tactical optics and firearms. We will continue to support the products that are currently in-service with UK MoD and Police Forces and we are excited to introduce some of the new innovations being released from Leupold, such as the D-EVO (Dual Enhanced View Optics). I’m certain that the combination of the product quality and customer support offered by Viking, will prove to be a very successful one’’.

All Leupold product come with a Leupold® Gold Ring™ Full Lifetime Guarantee

---

Leupold Optics are built for a lifetime of performance at the highest level, plain and simple. Other companies offer lifetime warranties because they know the optics they’re selling you are going to break, fail, or fall short of expectations. At Leupold, that’s not how we do business.
With the Leupold Gold Ring Full Lifetime Guarantee, if your Leupold product doesn’t perform as promised, we will repair or replace it for free, whether you are the original owner or not—forever (excludes electronic components). You don’t need proof of ownership. Or a warranty card. And there’s no time limit. We do this because we believe in superior quality and craftsmanship, and we’re confident your Leupold won’t let you down.
That’s the power of our company, and we stand behind our work.

D-EVO

Revolutionary solutions require original thinking. Leupold engineers have innovated again with the all new Dual-Enhanced View Optic (D-EVO™).
A unique, innovative design allows the 6x20mm D-EVO to be paired perfectly with the Leupold Carbine Optic (LCO™), or virtually any red dot sight, to deliver a bold aiming point for reflexive shots and a magnified image for long-range precision with the mere movement of your eye.

The exclusive Close Mid-Range Reticle with Wind Holds (CMR-W) allows users to successfully estimate range and engage targets with greater precision, speed, and flexibility and the hold-overs are compatible with 5.56/.223 and 7.62/.308 cartridges. The reticle features a 0.5 MOA dot surrounded by a 5 MOA circle, mil-based ranging features and windage hold points.
The D-EVO utilises minimal rail space, is waterproof to 66 feet, and is backed by the Leupold Gold Ring Lifetime Guarantee.

The Leupold Carbine Optic (LCO) is a dream come true for carbine operators. The compact 1x red dot sight gives you natural, rapid target acquisition.

Using a common CR123A 3v Lithium battery, the LCO has a battery life of up to 5 years. The machined aluminum body provides the utmost in durability and the ½ MOA adjustments make sighting in fast and easy.

Glock Launch the newest member of their Slimline Family – The G43

March 24, 2015

The G43 is Glocks new single stack 9mm pistol. The G43 is the most highly desired and anticipated release in GLOCK history. Designed to be the favored back up or last resort option for both civilian and law enforcement use, this subcompact slimline design is the perfectly balanced answer to your everyday concealed carry needs. It is ultra-concealable, accurate and comfortable for all shooters regardless of hand size.

Fit and Feel

When it comes to size and comfort, the all new G43 provides the best of both worlds. Typically, with handguns of this dimension, the design of the pistol does a poor job of resolving issues concerning felt recoil. This can cause discomfort for shooters who are not familiar with shooting smaller framed pistols. Seasoned shooters are familiar with this and adjust their grip, but have to work harder to keep the pistol on target for follow-up shots. The design of the new G43 allow for a more comfortable and confident shooting experience for all types of users.

Calibre

9×19 has become a standard in personal defence nationwide and for militaries throughout the world. The G43 is designed for any 9×19 round the civilian or law enforcement communities see fit to use. From the 64 grain to the 147 grain bullet, the all new G43 will function within the full spectrum of available ammunition.
The Glock G43 is available to order now.
