Viridian’s E-Series Green Laser Sights Available for Ruger-57

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – March 15, 2021 – Viridian Weapon Technologies is proud to announce the arrival of its new E-Series™ Green Laser sights for the Ruger-57™. The strength and visibility of a green laser is now built into a laser sight designed specifically for the Ruger-57, Ruger’s dynamic new 5.7x28mm pistol.

“Viridian led the way with the development of practical, functional green lasers,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “They’re ideal for fast target acquisition, even in full sun. And they are a solid addition to a fast pistol like the Ruger-57. More people are carrying these for self-defense, and Ruger has built an incredibly ergonomic platform. We’re pleased to have the opportunity to work with them on a purpose-built laser that enhances the 57’s functionality.”  

Viridian, one of the world’s largest independent providers of weapon-mounted technology, has won over customers with its gun-specific lasers. The E-Series Green Laser Sight for the Ruger-57 is the latest addition to a growing line of Ruger pairings. The green E-Series Laser is up to 50 times brighter than red lasers and is adjustable for both windage and elevation. The laser is visible at up to 100 yards in daylight and at over two miles at night.   

The E-Series Green Laser Sights will easily mount to the trigger guard and feature an ambidextrous on/off button with a 5-minute auto shut off just like their Red Laser Sight counterparts.

Viridian® Gun Camera Captures Another Officer-Involved Shooting

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – March 8, 2021 – The FACT Duty® Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC®) from Viridian Weapon Technologies has recorded another officer-involved shooting. Viridian representatives have been informed that the gun camera footage of the incident, which occurred on February 26, is proving to be an important asset in the investigation.  More information will follow as additional details are disclosed.

“Any officer-involved shooting sets in motion the complicated process of piecing together what happened,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “While we are never happy to hear about these tragic events, we are encouraged to be informed by officials that the WMC attached to the officer’s gun automatically activated when the weapon was drawn from the officer’s holster. Once again, Viridian’s WMC has captured HD footage of a critical incident from an unobstructed angle.”

The WMC addresses limitations officers can face with body cameras. Body and dash cameras were not designed to capture officer-involved shootings. However, Viridian WMCs were designed specifically for this purpose. The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.
