I do some shooting with the Viridian X5L on my Glock 22, do a beam comparison with the Streamlight TLR-2 and the Surefire X300U, and go over the features of the light and what I think of it overall.

anyone have an issue with how loose the lens cap is? Is it just me or does it seem like it can easily fall off? Thoughts?…
They have to ruin such a good system with that dumbass press button holster
Were. Can i get the tanned laser light.
I can only find solid black
Can you get the tan/ green. I can only find black. They told me this is discontinued.
They can find it can you or anyone let me know. And they want over 300. In one of your videos for $179.00
Hi im looking for this earth toned one!
I cant seem to find it only in black.
And its discontinued!.
There saying its 300. Bucks amazon found it for $179.95..
2 problems do i need that holster? Or can i use mine? And is it easy to turn light and laser on without the magnetic holster. Lumen is 177?? I thought you said 240. Gen 3 is 500 overkill? Its also bigger and just let me know is the light is sufficient!. And were i can get this i do not want black.
And they keep teling me the 300 prices. Its $179.95 amozon. Is 8t a good light source? And is the laser good? I have a 1994 tacstar lol old but its bright 25 years old. And your videos are outstanding.. keep up the good work. Thank you..
I bought one a few months ago and I have to realign the laser after I shoot it every time. Have you had this problem and if not what do u think is the problem?
streamlight HLG is the best laser/light light there is and the streamlight HL is the best full size weapon light…. anddddd nowwwww the TLR7 is the best compact light…… Streamlight is fucking killing it.
Any plans on reviewing the new gen 3 X5l 500 lumens?
For the price, this light is not worth it, there are much better options, like the Streamlight TLR-7
So I see in your video title it says gen 2, however I was told recently the way to tell gen 2 from gen 3 is that the gen 3 model has the name viridian in all caps as yours does in the video. Not trying to be a jerk just trying to get clarification as to which one is which, considering I will be purchasing one of these in the very near future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and love the channel
X5L Generation 3 is coming out soon 500 lumens and rechargeable battery. Optics planet and Midway have them up on their websites.
looking for a holster a fns9 and fns40 that fits with this light. any suggestions would be great.
Do they make that magnetic holster without a retention system? I heard you say other options for holsters were out there but not sure if you mentioned that specifically. Thanks in advance. 🙂
Where can you get the holster for the PX4 Storm for this light?
Can't see the dot on the garage do with the light on
how do you sight it in?
Finally someone compared it to the surefire. I bought the X5L and tac holster for my Glock 17and I love it. I light that it is smaller and lighter. Eventually with gear belts and chest rigs u get nicked and dimmed on the weight
Was the laser working when you pulled it out of the freezer? I didn't see it on when you cycled the settings.
that's a dope fridge ya got….lol
Nice light wish I could afford one. That being said, I belive your hair is on backwards

A laser is a gimmick that has NO real useful purpose, and requires a total retraining manual of arms to master–and for what? A gadget for idiots and wanna-be commandos. A good set of night sights solved the problem of dim light shooting decades ago.

Sweet
So for your money what light laser would you buy?
eww .40cal, how 2007 of you!
HAHA but yeah i actually still like .40 my uspc 40 handled it well but i sold that off. still have a 226 also with .357sig and barsto 9mm conversion so i can shoot all 3.
How would that hold up on a Shockwave ?
Need help: Virdian or stream light? Also, green or red laser? Thanks.
I wouldn't worry about needing to use that light if I was you. Only a blind fool breaks into a house that says gunsngear on the mail box.
congrats on 200,000 subscribers

I have this laser/light system in FDE and I love it.
congrats on getting to 200K subscribers. Your reviews will keep it growing. Good job!
Viridian for the win! I have them on the majority of my guns, been with them since the beginning. Nothing else suits my needs better.
Great Vid / Review ! 16340 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery can not take the cold that is what CR123A is for . CandlePowerForums .com MegaWoodswalker – youtube
Glock 22 was my first ever hand-gun. Didn't research well and NOW I know the snapy recoil wasn't just me. Now, is that a Glock issue or any pistol in .40 cal (still the only hand gun I own)?
That beard is filling in nice. Looks good! Welcome to our club! 😉
"Oop, there's the gun. On camera. Ooh noo." haha!
Hey Mrgunsngear I have thought about this a lot and the whole gun control thing. And a good logical way I think guns could be regulated with both sides being happy could be the scientific way. When I say both sides the other side being skeptical of firearms and not totally against it. Like we all have argued the lethality of firearms is not based on stocks or barrel length or semi or full auto. All of that is just crap. I believe that gun control could be regulated with a simple rule of thumb which is caliber of the cartridge or bullet. The bullet defines your firearm and with some deviation with Barrel length or type of action. If we can have legality of guns based on calibers and even better yet, joules of energy at various distances, it could really simplify things. If the cops and government is worried about people shooting them up, maybe we can legalize firearms that provide a certain amount of energy based on caliber and make anything above that threshold illegal. So the cops can buy bulletproof vest that can handle that much energy. For example, if we made cartridges above the caliber of 8 or 10mm illegal and made anything above cartain muzzle energy illegal and had no restriction of anything below that threshold, it could simplify laws and get rid of this nonsense. The real struggle would be decide that threshold but I am reasonable and would be ready for such laws since insanely powerful cartridges are somewhat useless and I guess it could possible simplify the laws. So when guns are introduced in the market, ATF can check for muzzle velocities can cartridges being offered and as long as they fall under that limit, everything goes. No bans of braces, stocks, accessories, mags, full semi or burst modes or anything. And new cartridges being introduced with ATF approval but they can't ban types of guns or barrel length or something. What do you think? I am posting this on many gun channels to get idea of opinions from everyone.
thanks for the video!
I'm not sure how I would feel if you ever failed to mention that "first well let the dogs check it out"
Lasers, will they ever be popular? No
That music tho 😎
👍👍
