ProTac HL-X

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

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.

I've been thinking about getting the ProTac 2.0 WML, since it's got double the brightness. I edc'd a ProTac HL-X for several years, then got a ProTac 2.0 when it came out, and I use it REGULARLY at my job as a mechanic, and my ProTacs have always just TANKED abuse. I also have an HL5X (2 cell maglit
