Tactical lights

[EP1985]

What is a good tactical light i can put on my glock for around $150

You can look around and find a used Surefire 300X for around that.

Or...

You can buy a brand new Streamlight TLR-1 for about 100 bucks and spend the other $50 on some ammo, a new holster, something...

Those are personally the only two that I would ever consider owning.

Isn't the Streamlight just a re-badged Insight M3? I'd definitely consider Insight as a good-enough quality brand to put on any firearm I own.

I'm thinking the Insight has a polymer casing/body while the Streamlight series is aluminum.

The Insight is probably just as good as the Streamlight...six of one/half dozen of the other.

I like the surefire's i thought they were really expensive tho. I have also seen some glock lights used for $50 i heard they were not as good or as bright as surefire though

I would do the Insight in that price range or maybe a used X300 or even a used X200.

X-300 if you can find it in your price range, or the aforementioned TLR-1. I wouldn't use anything else at this point. I have two X-300's and one TLR-1.

Ok. Sweet. Thanks for the info guys.

I have a TRL-1, it's bright enough for the inside of my house at night and has held up well to recoil at the range.

Along this topic line, for the first time ever I'm considering a tactical weapons light so I can enter a new theater of operations. Kidding. Seriously though, I would like a high quality light to mount on an AR and I don't want Chinese crap. What are my choices since I'm a total rookie on this stuff? If it's quality I don't mind paying the price if it is made in America. It'll be going on a Colt. Colt doesn't speak Chinese.
