I'm looking for a cheap reliable weapons light for
a handgun,got any suggestions? |
|
Quoted:
try the streamlight tlr-3, its $80 And a nice light for the money, It's very compact and as bright as their PT1L. Enough light out to about 150 feet. Not too bright indoors, so you don't have it reflect back at you, and fits smaller frames. I put it on my wifes pistol since mine has a TRL1. |

Great little light. |
That says it all. TLR-1.

Quoted: What is the brightest light w/o a laser for a pistol? Dunno, I assume we are going to talk about LED models. Surefire's X300 and X400 run at 170 lumens. I have a TLR-3 and an X400. The 90 lumen TLR-3 is sufficient for HD use. The X400 is good for use outdoors. It really depends on what your end use for the weapon light will be. Too bright and you get a flashbulb effect on your eyes. You really only need 50 lumens in pitch black to blind someone, but ideally 70-90 lumens. Most of the high lumen models are engineered to give a tight spot beam and a large generous spill which is why they have high lumens. http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/lowlight.htm |
