Need recommendations for a budget friendly tac light for an AR

For a little bit more, you can get a Streamlight ProTac HL-X. Primary Arms has it on sale for $119.99. At Premium Select Supplies, it's $123.96 with code STREAM15, but it might be cheaper from them out the door (vs. Primary Arms) when you factor in tax and shipping. I bought one from them in Decembe

MPX SDK

That thing looks ridiculously clean already, the compact setup with the tucked can has such a good balance to it. For lights I’d probably lean Surefire Mini Scout or Modlite PLHv2 if you want something bombproof, but honestly a Streamlight HLX Pro would fit the vibe and save you a few hundred bucks

After a year of planning, I own one. Need practice ammo and next accessory?

Your buddy is dumb for laughing at the idea of a light since you’re planning on having this for home defense. You can’t shoot what you can’t see… Streamlight is usually the recommendation as far as quality versus price. They’re reliable and if you shop around/wait a bit you can usually find a Pro Ta

streamlight or surefire

I use streamlight because it works for me. My TLR-1HL has a very good balance of spill and point illumination and is plenty sturdy for my uses. Keep in mind i'm not running in and out of crack houses all day but I feel confident that it would still hold up okay. If nothing else I like the switches b

Going to my first gun show. Any tips?

weapon lights for my ARs. Go buy a Streamlight ProTac HLX off whichever online vendor has it the cheapest. Chances are that whatever you find at a gunshow that is cheap, is just rebranded cheapo Amazon knock offs or counterfeits, anything that is good will be overpriced.

I never should've been given a credit card or a vise bench. Now I can't stop

The 16" and 11.5" both use the Streamlight ProTac HL-X, and the 18" uses a Streamlight ProTac 2. I'd recommend the HL-X (or HL-X Pro) since it's much more powerful while still being pretty decently priced, abt 120 bucks on Amazon last I checked

Just a heads up, Somogear restocked the wmx200.

My thoughts exactly and so far I’ve heard all positive things about it, especially for being what it is. Slightly better output than a pro tac hl-x and not dropping the coin for a surefire, I mean you cant go wrong. Hell I might even pick up one for their ngal’s to test out since I’m entering the wo

I went with tlr7 hlx sub, quick google showed more options for holster, also remember to get the glock specific streamlight if you go that route

What’s your favorite light brand and why?

Unfortunately, definitely not streamlight. Every single one, except the tlr-1, tlr7, and protac rail mount 1 has died. AAA micro, micro usb x3 , macro usb x2, tlr6, rail mount 2, pro-tac 2l, pro-tac 1l x2 (still daily one, only works with AA’s now) wedge, pro tac hl-x, poly-tac. All shit the bed soo
