Pistol light choice

- Start date
I just ordered 2 of the Olight Mini 2's for 30% off during a flash-sale at Olight Canada today. BIG savings! 600 lumens, fits any pistol due to the new internal sliding rail, rechargeable, etc. What's not to like?
I have a variety of Surefires (up to and including an X400), Streamlights (up to TLR2 HL), and more recently the Plight PL2 Valkyrie and PL1 Mini Valkyrie. I find the Olight performance-to-cost ratio to be the best of the bunch by a considerable margin. As a result, I won't be buying more of the "big name" brands any time soon.

I don't like how far I have to stretch my weak hand to reach the activation switches. I prefer the old paddles on my TLR-1 and M3.
It is small and bright.
Fricking laser died but the light still works.
I did the same. They are pretty good lights for the money.

Yeah regular un professional use of the olight pl pro valkyre seems to be a solid light. had solely build me a holster for my shadow for it. they kinda botched the holster job as I had selected the pl pro/pl 2 option. They decided to mold it for the balder pro too with the ### laser so the holster has no trigger guard support 
. Its a 1500 lumen beast though, and more throw than say a fenix pd series. The light would be as effective as a less than lethal tool I suspect. Its a softer color and doesn't glare back at you like the white lights.

I jimust got the Pl Mini 2 Valkyrie a month or so ago. 40% off for the new gunmetal grey color they came out with. Locks on better than the Streamlight TRL1 I have, is really small (great for the G19), and has a good beam. I think it is a good value.
Rampart has lightly used Inforce APL gen3s for $59.99 right now. I picked one up and its in great shape. Definitely worth it.
how do you compare the inforce with the others. i was impressed by the inforce on my walls and so far not blinded.

you should read the link you provided ... it is a battery issue and i had problem with streamlight (not explosion kind) it is electronic and mechanic so it can break.
