Remote switches for gun lights, laser sights, and IR illuminators have been around a long time, but they're not all created equal. Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb tells us how Unity Tactical's AXON remote switch is different. The AXON's special "ninja trick" is its capacity to control two devices. Caleb has both a SureFire light and a Steiner DBAL night vision laser sight mounted on his rifle, with both controlled by Unity's AXON switch designed specifically for that combo. AXON switches are available for other light / laser combos as well.
Caleb operates the DBAL with the AXON's silent pressure-pad switch, one press for momentary activation, two presses for constant-on. The forward button, with helpful tactile / audible clicks, controls the SureFire AND, thanks to a handy Y-split adapter, it simultaneously turns on the DBAL's visible laser. If you turn on your light, you're in a situation where a visible laser is probably desirable.
You can mount the AXON pretty much wherever you want it on your AR-15's (or other rifle's) handguard. Unity Tactical sends an M1913 Picatinny mount with each AXON, and you can also get a very low-profile M-LOK® mount for it separately. Wouldn't that M-LOK make for a super low-profile installation on one of those lightweight Midwest Industries handguards with the M-LOK rail on top? Hmmmmmm.....
