This is the latest, at least that I know of, from Streamlight’s Rail Mount series and I’ve had mine in for a couple months now… my thoughts:
Pros:
-Cost. Comes in at around ~$115 shipped street price
-0 flickering issues or anything like that
-Can be programmed to 3 different mode functions (I suppose this could be a con as well)
-fits on any Surefire Scout mount that I know of
-has helicoils in the mount which are going to increase durability over just standard threading
-1,000 lumen / 27,600 candela output
-comes with a tape switch / tape switch mount
-beam pattern has a lot of throw (could also be a con for some) as shown in the video
Cons:
-made in China
-somewhat heavy vs. some competitive options at 6.4oz
Full review with beam comparisons and other ramblings I add in:
I have a suggestion for your WML review videos. Since you go out to the range with the lights, perhaps you could set up targets at various distances from 10 to 100 yards(or meters) to give us the viewer a better idea of the throw and spill in a wide open space at night.
Other than that one criticism of mine you made another great video.
Thanks. I’ve done that before but it’s just a time issue; much easier to walk in the backyard than to spend hours loading the truck, driving to the range, setting up targets, setting up cameras, microphones, etc…
