weapon light right now, which is pretty much the gold standard for pistol lights. They are just unbelievably solidly built.(The main reason my backup M&P sports a Streamlight TLR-1 isn't because I think it's better, but because I think it's reasonably good and it was almost a hundred bucks cheaper than the Surefire unit. But at $159 for the X300 instead of the ~$200 they usually bring? I'd have picked it over the TLR-1 any day of the week and twice on Sunday.)
On a tangent, and FWIW, I've noticed over the last few weeks that shooting and gunsmithing supplies have been showing up regularly as lightning deals.
ReplyDeleteoh hell yes.
ReplyDeleteordered two.....
:-)
Got mine on on the way - thanx for the tip.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree with your assessment... but as my gals and I needed a dozen weapon lights for various firearms... the TLR-1s was hundreds less in the quantities we needed and works well... and the new 300 lumen TLR-1 is unbelievably bright...

Great find. I will pick a couple up. So much for my Christmas budget.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tam!
ReplyDeleteHope you get some kinda "Referral Credit" from Bezos for selling a couple of dozen lights. Younger son will find one under the tree...
Sure. NOW they're on sale.
ReplyDeleteI guess that thar sale must be over. Back up to $183, now. :-/ Ah well.
ReplyDeleteThe new TLR-1 HL at 630lumens makes this look like a AA mini-mag light. and it's 120.00 on amazon.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to charge top of the line rates I'd better be getting bleeding edge tech.
"The new TLR-1 HL at 630lumens makes this look like a AA mini-mag light."
ReplyDeleteNot after I used my X300U to pound the TLR into wreckage it didn't.
Look, I like a TLR just fine. Been running one on an M&P for a year now. Bot for only a $30 difference, I'd go with the tougher Surefire and find a way to live with "only" 500 lumens.
