Inforce Debuts New Series of Aluminum Pistol Lights
Inforce introduced its new aluminum Weapon Integrated Lighting Device: Wild2. The company released the Wild2 on September 23, 2020, and began retailing Wild’s dual-battery full-size model on its website and through dealers.
The first of Inforce’s 2020 product releases, the Wild2 will be soon followed by Wild1, a single-battery model designed for compact handguns like the Glock 19. Both models will resonate with fans of the company’s traditional styling, although their hard-anodized 6061 aluminum exteriors represent a marked departure from Inforce’s longstanding preference for glass-reinforced polymers. But taking their time to release this line of pistol lights comes with opportunities. Seizing one of them, Inforce has gone where others have yet to and made the Wild series’ battery door and activation switches out of aluminum.
Other key features of the Wild models include a specialized parabolic reflector, which shapes the 1000-lumen (500-lumen for Wild1) beam into a crisp hotspot while still affording adequate spill. Additionally, an activation method ideal for people with smaller hands. Inforce believes its Wild series will be of particular interest to the growing demographic of female handgun owners.
Inforce’s Vice President, Matthew Wolfe, had this to say about the now-available Wild2, and the forthcoming Wild1: “Our Wild series has been a long time in the making, and we’re very pleased with the result. In the series, Wild2 and Wild1 lights incorporate our corrective responses to various weaknesses of popular existing aluminum pistol lights. Accordingly, from aesthetic, structural, and performance standpoints, as well as regarding ease of activation by the full spectrum of conceivable users, we believe these are excellent products, and we’re excited to get them into our customers’ hands.”
