All I can find for weapons lights with strobes, are lights that dont turn on right to strobe.  What I mean is, they all turn on solid 1st, then you some how, one way or another, switch to strobe.  Im looking for one that turns right on to strobe.  And, what would be even better is if it had some sort of momentary strobe, like 2 sec-5 sec, then off.

Blackhawk Gladius will turn on while set on strobe.

I think the TLR-1 Strobe can do this if you install the pressure switches.  You would have a strobe switch to turn it on directly.  Without it I know that some things can be programmed for the light, but I dont think instant on strobe is one of them.

I have one of these and it has a full ON and a programmable mode that can be programmed to strobe. You set the mode by fully tightening the head or loosening it ~1/4 turn so you can go directly into either mode and it is fairly easy to switch between them. The down side is it has a bigger reflector but it is bright. One day I plan on getting one of these to try out. It should be able to go into strobe, hi, med or low straight from off and is a smaller light but still is bright. On a side note these 2 lights and a couple others by Jetbeam have the same tailcap threads as Surefire so you can use an XM tailcap. The only downside to the second one I see is you could have it set on one of the modes and the selector ring could possibly get turned then when you go to use it it may be in a different mode than you wanted.

Here is an older pic for reference...

You may consider our Elzetta ZFL-M60 with the High/Strobe Tailcap.  It can be turned on directly in strobe as On/Off and Mode Selection are completely independent of one another.
This video demonstrates the unique Elzetta user interface:

+1 gladius has never let me down in the 5 years of ownership! Its the only Blackhawk product you will ever see me reccomend very well designed!! Ive even taken it on dives before as a backup and it has always performed.
