| Any opinions on this light? I just got one pretty cheap and was wanting arfcom's opinions. I have searched around a bit and found some reviews on other sites. Seems like it is a good competitor to the Surefire G2 for less money. It is a little brighter and has a better tailcap in stock form that the G2. I don't plan on modifying it at all. |

I have one on my AR also. Cheaper than surefire streamlight has lifetime warranty on every thing except batteries. I use Streamlight Stingers for work and home
Im thinking about getting one of these for my Daily carry light http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/62792-1.html |
| Just got my Polytac. Very impressed with it. Seems to be very well made and sturdy. It is super bright and has a very tight and well defined beam. Also comes with a lifetime warranty. Can't see how you could go wrong, especially for about $30. Now I just need a mount. |
| Streamlight IMO is just as good quality as surefire and half the price. I have used my Polystinger for 7 year at work and it still going strong I am a mechanic and it takes a lot of abuse. I just recently retired that one for home use and replaced it with a new LED stinger |
| The only negative I have found with the Polytac is the same as the older TL series lights. They are slightly less than one inch diameter and I had a tough time finding a weapon mount to fit. Most mounts are for the slightly larger size lights. If anyone else has a weapon mounted polytac, please give info on your mount. |

Just wrap some bicycle inner tube around it and then put it in the mount |

ElZetta mounts come with spacers. Viking Tactics offset mounts fit too.
I love the TLR-1 series, but I have owned 3 Scorpions in the past (non-LED) and found them to be LESS ROBUST than the SureFire 6P. My first hand experience with them was not so good. Drop them once, the bulb blows - every time on mine. In fact, I still have 2, both with blown bulbs, if anyone ever wants to trade for an EMPTY SureFire body  Because of this, I wasn't even going to consider the PolyTac.
That being said, I found the Yellow PolyTac LEDs on closeout at $15 each so I figured "why not". I have 2 on order to see how I'm going to like them. I doubt they'll replace my SureFire G2s, but we'll see if they can earn a place in my CERT bag, or at least in the glove box. |

Please share that deal- I would try them out for that price. |
