The new INFITAC FMP13 Mini Thermal is exactly the kind of no-nonsense innovation hardworking Americans need — compact, practical, and built for real-world self-defense. While the coastal elites preach disarmament, engineers and small businesses keep delivering tools that let law-abiding citizens protect themselves and their families. This little optic proves you don’t need to surrender capability just because you insist on portability and common-sense ownership.
Under the hood the FMP13 packs a 256×192 thermal sensor with a 60Hz refresh rate, a 13mm F1.0 lens, and a crisp 1.4-inch 360×300 display, all in a package that weighs around four ounces and runs on a CR2 battery for roughly five hours. It’s IP67 rated for weather resistance and claims robust recoil tolerance, so it’s made to survive in the rough conditions real Americans might face in the field.
Retailers are already listing the FMP13 in the roughly $699–$799 range, and INFITAC is offering a standard RMR footprint with optional adapter plates for RMSc, DPP, and MOS and accessories to mount it on rifles if you choose. That price puts advanced thermal capability within reach for serious citizens and competitive shooters who refuse to be made helpless by the latest wave of anti-gun rhetoric.
This isn’t a gimmick — INFITAC touts touchscreen controls, quick InstaWake activation via a gyro, multiple reticle options, and external USB-C power if you want redundancy. The company also backs the unit with a multi-year warranty and ships from its Texas facility, which should reassure buyers who care about supporting American-based operations and quality control rather than overseas, outsourced gadgetry.
We should also be blunt about politics: the government already breathes down the necks of firearms suppliers with export rules and red tape, and INFITAC’s site warns about ITAR-related shipping restrictions. That’s a reminder that patriotic industry must be protected from bureaucrats who prefer restrictions to responsibility — and that consumers must stay vigilant against any effort to make life-saving defensive technologies harder to obtain.
Make no mistake, thermal optics on pistols are a force multiplier for safety when owned and used responsibly by citizens who pass background checks and train properly. Instead of demonizing tools, we should focus on strengthening communities, training shooters, and holding criminals — not law-abiding owners — accountable for violence.
Supporting companies that innovate for liberty and security is a quiet form of patriotism. Buy American gear when you can, train with it, and stand firm against anyone who wants to centralize control over your means of self-defense. The INFITAC FMP13 Mini is a timely example of the private sector answering the call while the bureaucrats argue from their armchairs.
