I’ve gotta disagree, I’ve got surefires, streamlights and Olights. Gun lights and handhelds in both (I think I have a problem, or obsession but that’s another thread topic)
If the OP was using the gun professionally, absolutely buy the best, but not everyone has an agency paying for it, or, enough bank to drop a weeks wages on a surefire. An olight is better than no light, and a budget friendly option for 99.9% of shooters. You push the button, it turns on, it’s bright, it’s reliable.
Most carpenters like estwing, the average homeowner can get by with mastercraft. They both hammer nails just fine.
Well, you basically described a toy by excluding professional use.
And if you're making $420 a week you probably shouldn't be buying a pistol light. You can get a Streamlight TLR-1HL for $220, that makes buying an Olight absurd imo.
