Thermal imagers small enough for pistols

Isn't technology wonderful.
Torrey Pines Logic has recently unveiled three new models of mini thermal imagers: two consumer models for outdoor and hunting use and a third ruggedized model for military and law enforcement applications.

The T10-S, T10-N, and T10-M all offer a FLIR core, on-board image processing, manual and automatic NUC (Non-Uniformity Correction) capability, temperature read-out, battery read-out and protection, and auto power-save.

Those prices appear to be missing a zero 5mith FLIR the size of a house brick normally goes for £1500-3000, even in the US?!

Hackers have been working with these for about 2-3 years, my guess is that some enterprising sort saw what they were doing and marketed it

There's a new generation of sensors out there. http://www.flir.com/flirone/

Flir Lepton is a few hundred dollars for a (bloody sophisticated) module the size of your little fingernail.

I was recently offered a Russian thermal imaging rifle scope (an IR162B), these normally sell for around $18000 USD but I could have had it for $10k, so to me the prices in the article seem too cheap!.

I would have thought those prices are just for the mount...
