I'd be interested in hearing which ones you guys like.
Just found this on close out at lapolicegear.com as well, if you have a rail for a weapon mounted light. I've got one one and it works well, but obviously makes it rougher to conceal.
Streamlight TLR1s Weapon Light STROBE
That's a really good price on it, at least compared to the last time I shopped them.
Completely agree.Just a heads up, we have seen numerous failures with the TLR1 strobe model regarding it alternating between strobe and solid and turning off under recoil, even when the strobe feature is turned off. I still have a TLR1 (non-strobe) on my gun, but I honestly only recommend surefire at this point.
For a handheld light to be used for defensive purposes, you want a single setting light with a momentary only switch, no brighter than about 200 lumens. That means when you smash your thumb on the tailcap you get light, and when you release it, you get none. The only multi-setting light i recommend is the Surefire LX2 due to its mode of operation.
