A visit to Gerber Legendary Blades at SHOT Show 2011 showed that the company displayed most of their newest material at AUSA and other recent shows.
There is this, though: Gerber’s hands-free reconnaissance military light, or HFR-M, will be in production next month. The company already is taking orders, although they say its MSRP price hasn’t yet been sorted out.
It looks like a reasonably nice piece of gear to have in the toolbox. HFR-M mounts to helmets and MOLLE-compatible vests, and it smoothly pulls off the helmet mount for hand-held use while the user keeps his helmet on.
The light’s multi-lens works with white, red, night-vision and infrared light, reaching 59 Lumens with 100-Lumen burst capability. It measures three inches by three inches by two inches, and weighs 4.19 ounces when fitted with a AA battery. It also runs with C R123 batteries, which will keep it going for up to six hours without a need for more juice.
