C-More Systems

C-More Systems is an American firearms and firearms-accessories brand operated by Vertu Corporation. The business was established in Manassas, Virginia, in 1993, while the C-More Competition name was introduced in 1999. Its principal product area is electro-optical red-dot sights intended for use on firearms including M1911 pistols, Glock pistols, and AR-15 rifles. The brand is associated with the competition-shooting and tactical-firearms markets, where compact reflex-style optics are used to provide an aiming point without the need to align conventional front and rear sights. C-More’s product identity is centered on firearm-mounted sighting equipment rather than general consumer electronics or broad sporting-goods merchandise. Its sights have been marketed for handgun and rifle platforms and have also been recommended by FN Herstal for use with the M249 SAW and M240 machine gun. That association places the brand within both sporting and professional firearms contexts, although the available reference material does not provide detailed information about specific contracts, production volumes, distribution arrangements, or current market share. In addition to optical sights, the company manufactures the M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System for the United States armed forces. The M26 is a military accessory system, distinguishing C-More from brands focused exclusively on civilian competition optics. The available material does not establish whether all products are manufactured domestically, how the company is currently structured within Vertu Corporation, or whether the brand remains actively marketed under the same name. It also does not identify a founder, current executives, ownership details beyond the Vertu corporate relationship, or an official corporate website. C-More Systems is best characterized as a specialist firearms-technology brand with roots in the United States and a portfolio spanning red-dot sights and military-oriented weapon accessories. Its historical significance in the available references comes from the introduction of the C-More Competition identity in 1999, its adoption or recommendation across several widely used firearm platforms, and its production of the M26 system for U.S. military use.

Vertu Corporation was established in Manassas, Virginia, in 1993. The company later created the C-More Competition name in 1999, establishing the identity under which its firearms optics became known. C-More Systems developed a position in the firearm-sighting market through red-dot sights designed for mounting on common pistol and rifle platforms, including M1911 pistols, Glock pistols, and AR-15 rifles. The brand’s product scope extended beyond sporting and civilian firearm optics. Its sights were also recommended by FN Herstal for the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon and the M240 machine gun, indicating relevance to military firearm configurations. C-More Systems additionally manufactures the M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System for the United States armed forces. This product broadened the company’s role from an optics specialist into military weapon-accessory manufacturing. The available reference material does not document the company’s founders, detailed ownership history, executive leadership, financial performance, major acquisitions, facility changes, or current corporate status. It also does not provide a complete chronology of product generations or contracts. Consequently, the documented history is limited to the formation of Vertu Corporation in 1993, the establishment of the C-More Competition name in 1999, the development and marketing of red-dot sights, and the manufacture of the M26 system for U.S. military use.
