Interesting. That’s definitely larger than I’d pictured. How’s function?

I have been tempted to get one. How do they compare to Surefire and Stream light?

No tape switch required. X300UA/B doesn’t need it. Besides the throw switch, you can simply apply forward pressure which is what I do to activate the light. I only use tape switches on long guns....

Inforce function is fine. I like the way you can't really get your fingers under it in a pinch zone, like the Surefire scouts, but I wish the foot print was a little narrower and on a scale with the narrower/slimmer rails common these days.

The SF scout you have to push forward. With the Inforce you almost push sideways, which is a little more natural since it's like tightening your grip a bit.

SF works well with a VG since thumb orientation is right for pushing a tail piece button. Inforce works well if you are holding the rail/handguard.

Inforce light seems whiter to me than the scout and definitely is a wider flood.

Having no wish to look into one, I cannot say if one is better than the other in stunning an opponent or ruining their vision.

Thanks jukk0u!

Thanks for the discussion. Any thoughts on the Olight PL-Pro?

OLIGHT PL-PRO Valkyrie 1500 Lumens Cree XHP 35 HI NW LED Magnetic Rechargeable Weaponlight with Glock and 1913 Rail Adapter, Built-in Battery and SKYBEN Battery Case (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RR7BX4S/re ... IEbYHG9VG6

I’m leaning toward this one because I think I’d like the paddle switch more than the toggle. I also like the button on the Inforce, but the reliability concerns me a little bit.

I don’t think I’ll need a tape switch given the tiny handguard on my Banshee.

The Olight looks like a Surefire X300 Knockoff

Ok so I was able to link up and grab my MCK Chassis today and was playing woth some WMLs I currently own and here is what I came up with.

The Streamlight TLR-1HL was the first one I mounted and it seemed a little bulky to me and the paddles were hard to activate.




Next up I tried the Surefire X300UA I have as well as switched sides on MCK and it is still a little bulky but the paddles were easier to manipulate

I like the Surefire. I have had several switches on the stream light fail.

Have any of you tried red or green lights? I went with inexpensive from Amazon Pinty for a laser and with the red beam flashlight. A red flashlight really makes eyes glow and you still have your night vision plus it is more stealthy then blasting everything with white light. I have had an Aimpoint laser for close to 30 years and I liked it but this blasted Pinty green is much brighter in the daylight and since my flash light is red I can easily see the dot at night too. You can see in the photo that I use cam loc risers so I can easily take the flash light off and use it in my hand or even mount it under the grip on one of my revolvers. When I put my ar in my over the shoulder soft case I just flip the cam and remove the red flash light.

I just use a TLR-1HL with a red lens cap.

Just found a killer deal on Surefire. Use the code DSS1916A for 40% off at https://www.surefire.com

I ordered the X30 after watching a video comparison between the X30, X35, and X300.

Without this deal, I couldn’t really justify the Surefire price for my needs. So I had already ordered an Olight Baldr, which is like the Valkyrie and adds a green laser. It hasn’t arrived yet but I’ll probably return it or find something else to stick it on.

Huh
Never had a problem with those.
Didn't think they were bulky and never had a problem with the switch.
Easy to double tap the strobe.
Have a few.
Carry one in my jacket pocket as a flashlight, can snap it on my S&W M&P 45C in a couple seconds if the need should arise.

A weapon light is arguably the 2nd most important thing on a HD gun.

I've got over a dozen INFORCE lights. I cannot recommend them. They either fail, flicker, or like the Gen 1's have a battery draw issue. Hopefully their new line fixes all the short comings.

If you can swing it, I'd go Surefire, or Modlite... (IMHO the best lights on the market)

Streamlight is a great value choice.

Remember to change your batteries.

That was an industry code that was used for years, until it leaked out to the general public this past week. There's been a bunch of drama over this in the industry forums and elsewhere where it was originally shared. Surefire has shut down that code and from what I hear cancelled a ton of orders from people who have used the code this past weekend.
