You never want to go into a home defense situation with no light, absolutely do not ever do that. Have a weapon light and use it when you find the target to make a positive ID. You don’t need it on the entire time, but you do need it when you find the subject.
Strobe function will **** up the subjects orientation and you want to turn it on and move from the original position that you started it at. It will help keep the subject off balance. You don’t need the strobe, you can just get a good bright light that puts out a good crisp stream and a bright white light. |

Also make sure whatever you do buy has a good Candala rating, candlepower is the more common name

And if the BG raises his weapon, we shoot him, as per the rules of engagement, so if they 'panic and try to begin shooting,' well, they're toast before they begin firing. |

If you're worrying about it breaking, I wouldn't, I have many 1000s of rounds through my PPX and it's been rock solid. It's a Walther...
Nothing will hurt Glock's business (it's like the iPhone!!!), but if more people tried the Walther, I think it could happen... And the PPQ is sweet, sweet as all get out! But I'm a PPX dude.. |

I read a lot of articles from pewpew. Do you find them to be reliable in all of their ratings or do you ever sense they are, at least in part, sponsor driven to place certain products toward the top? I haven't been reading long enough yet to know. Their AR-15 guide was really helpful for me. Thanks again for the input. I'm going to the range today, will see if they have any lights I can try. |

Olights seem to be on the cheaper side, nothing over $199 on their site. You say these are better than any Streamlight models? |

They are "better" in consideration of the lumens. I'll stick with my streamlight (only because I am used to it and can't (won't) consider another light for my pistol) Just don't see the need, regardless of "Elite" units preferring it.
