Wilcox(SP?) Industries makes some of the devices you mentioned, but I believe the NV/IR stuff isn't available to civilians. Check an issue of SWAT magazine

Hi

Both the PAQ4 and PEQ-2 are made by Insight Technologies, as both ar IR capable they are not available to civies, they do make a vis. laser PEQ-2 set up but this is also not avail. except to PD's on letter heads.

The VLI is being made by Streamlight under contract from Insight Tech. many police supply dealers carry this line and can order the VLI from them, the price is around $270.00 + - . Insight Tech. does not have a web site that I know of.

Wilcox makes a LAM used on the M203 Quadrant Sight(exp. at this time) that is avail. in vis. laser for civilian purchase. This sight is also used on the MK 23 (not issue though, Insight Tech makes the military issue one).

Hope this answers your questions, I have posted the VLI on SOCCHAT as a single picture of it's set up on the M4A1.

If I can help further please feel free to ask, and check the article my partner and I have written on this site. take care...Jim

Hi IAN0321;

Nope nothing like a PEQ-2 as yet but the PAQ4s show up once and awhile, you should check with the various night Vision dealers. They will be used but they will also be IR, the diodes do not burn out so should give a lot of use. The older PAQ4s have a legal IR laser so are ok to own privately.

Again if I can help further feel free to ask. take care...Jim

You might want to turn off caps lock, as some people consider words in all caps to be yelling and therefore rude.

Hi IAN0321;

Not off hand, try some of the night vision dealers like Excaliber, Night Vision and such. You'll have to catch them quick though they do go fast when available.Take care...Jim
