Viridian Weapon Technologies has expanded its popular line of C Series of firearms accessories to include the new smaller Viridian C5L Micro laser sight and tactical light combo. Joining other popular models like the C5, C5L, CTL, and CTL+; the new C5L Micro reportedly takes innovation to the next level with more light output, redesigned features, and a smaller size.
The new laser and light combo unit is a compact version of the C5L. It offers the same features users have come to love from the family. These features include Instant-On technology, a rechargeable battery, and the SAFECharge magnetic quick-release charging system. Even with the smaller size, it still packs a wallop in power output. The <5mW Viridian Green Laser and 550 Lumen and 26,000 Candela high-output tactical light provide more than enough power from the sleek, compact 6061 aluminum body.

Patti Miller is one of the most awesome females in the tactical/firearm (or any) industry. Imagine a tall, hawt, dangerous Laura Ingalls Wilder type with cool hair and a suppressed blaster and you'll be getting the idea. What's interesting is that in addition to being a willing brawler and intrepid adventuress, she's also an Ent/Ogier level gardener and a truly badass baker.
