We swear by weapons mounted lights (WMLs) here at Mountain Man Armory, LLC. It is absolutely paramount to make positive ID before engaging a target in a defensive encounter, both from a legal and moral standpoint. There are many news stories highlighting instances where a homeowner shot someone that shouldn’t have been shot, such as a relative, or confused person. These situations could have largely been avoided by having and using a WML to positively identify any unknown contact before engaging.
These Streamlight products are in use on my personal gear. I swear by the TLR-1 HL on my pistols and have used this particular light for a very long time. The Protac HLX on my LWRCI AR-15 has proven to be very durable. These lights offer decent battery life, utilizing CR123A lithium batteries. (2 batteries for the Protac and TLR-1, 1 battery for the TLR7)
