CL1P Tech gun wipes

CLP gun oil impregnated disposable wipes are nothing new. Otis has had them for a few years. But CL1P is introducing a new disposable wipe packet that promises to be the highest quality wipes on the market due to its proprietary fabric material.

CL1P claims that a single wipe packet can clean an entire rifle. Its long fiber material has variable geometry fibers that pick up fowling particles and traps them in the material, allowing less contamination to remain on your firearm.

Moreover, it will leave your firearm foul-free and leave a thin coating of dry lubricant and protectant. Its cleaning and lubricanting solvent has very little odor and is less irritating to the skin.

MARCH CONTEST


CVLife BearMightt Solar Red Dot

CVLife rolled out the Bear Swift multiple reticle solar red dot, a completely solar powered reflex sight that runs off of an internal solar charging battery. The Bear Swift features a selectable 2MOA dot and a 32 MOA circle/starburst reticle. It has a Glock MOS footprint which along with this low base, allows it to co-witness to factory iron sights.

Overall build quality is top-notch and a far cry from CVLife’s budget offerings from 10 years. The glass is flat, the reticle is crisp, and it has motion activation from sleep to concerve battery life. It has a rated 20,000 runtime at low brightness on the dot which is over 2 years.

The BearSwift is an alternative to the CVlife WildHawk X, which has a back-up solar panel but runs off a replaceable coin battery but that has a RMR footprint. https://youtu.be/emxu_VHTdes

The completely solar-powered unit is useful for shooters who regularly go to the range, which would allow regular racharging of the internal battery. But for occasional shooters, collectors, or as a bedside gun, the requirement for solar charge can pose an issue. It would have been nice if this optic had a USB-C or magnetic charging as a backup.

SHOT2026 UTG MP5 Upgrades

https://youtu.be/QXawCUs70KA

UTG has been quietly modernizing the MP5 by offering clamp-on handguards that allow the mounting of all the lasers, lights, and tactical accessories that a Tier 1 Operator would want in the legendary SMG. At SHOT Show 2026, they brought a new extended lower handguard sized for suppressors and a new fully knurled round charging handle.

Aquilifer EP 5-25×56

https://youtu.be/RJ7wTW-XKZo

Aquilifer is a budget scope brand that takes its name from the Aquilifer, the soldier in the Roman Legion given the honor of holding the golden eagle standard. Their EP 5-25×56 FFP is their new flagship long-range optic, but with a budget to mid-range price point of around $300.

To achieve this low price, this optic made some trade-offs. It has a very unforgiving eyebox that’s tight even at its lowest 5x magnification. It is also a heavy scope at over 2lbs. Its Vortex-style turrets only offer a middling 26 MRAD of adjustments.

Its value-tier price and overall performance make up for many of its shortcomings. The scope has well-made turrets with a Vortex-style zero stop. Its illumination is almost daylight bright. It has ED (Extra Low Dispersion) glass, which allowed me to see a good level of detail at 25x, though the image lacked contrast and sharpness above 16x. Given its weight and limited range of elevation adjustments, I wouldn’t recommend this for PRS or NRL-22 competition, but it’s a good entry-level scope for mid-range bench rest.

SHOT2026 Monstrum Tactical

At SHOT Show 2026, Monstrum’s newest products weren’t new scopes but a whole new product line: red dots. Monstrum sold red dots a recently 5 years ago but quietly dropped those products due to issues with quality. They didn’t want poor products to taint their strategy of improving quality and performance in the budget optic brand space.

They released their Nitro line of traditional reflex sights in both RMR and RMCs models. At their SHOT both, they showed their newly released Bird of Prey (B.O.P.) shotgun dot. And they showed me a prototype of an upcoming enclosed emitter red dot, which didn’t have a name at the time.

Monstrum changed the budget optic landscape about 5 years ago with the introduction of good-quality LPVOs under $200. I was fortunate to be part of the awareness of this brand with my reviews of their Banshee and later a head-to-head comparison review of their Panzer vs a much more expensive one Vortex Razor HD Gen3. Spoiler alert, the Razor was the better optic but the Panzer was not bad in comparison.

Monstrums history of delivering better-than-good-enough quality for a shockingly low price bodes well for their new red dots. I look forward to testing them out this year.
