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

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.

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

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

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

I ran mine with irons and Streamlight HLX. The HLX kept cutting in and out and I had to use my handheld for the match. It was pouring down raining so irons were a good choice. Stock otherwise.

I have the Streamlight Pro-Tac HLX and I like it, decent flood and very durable overall. The same light is also sold as a rifle light, so it’s kind of known to be tough/shock resistant. Probably not the best all out performance on paper, but it works well

yeh, its mainly just a sorta weak connection with the tailcap and the o-ring helps with that. I have a couple of Streamlight ProTac HL-X's that I've done it to and it works well. And you can get a 10pack of the o-rings at Lowes for like $4 or so.

Streamlight makes excellent pistol lights (TLR-1 variants for full sized and TLR-7 variants for compact) and decent rifle lights (ProTac 2.0 and ProTac HL-X) Surefire makes excellent rifle lights (640 and 340 variants) and decent pistol lights (X300 variants for full sized) Surefire: Made in USA $$$

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
