for night hunting with a rifle or shotgun on board, nothing better than this one, 350 lumens, rechargeable, two hours run time, with quick detach lever mount and pressure pad tail cap http://www.thewildoutdoors.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4761#post4761

SOLARFORCE L2-P 5 MODE FLASHLIGHT I recently reviewed the Solarforce L-2 flashlight and criticized the sharp crenellated bezel of this light, because it feels rough and uncomfortable in my pocket. Solarforce has now introduced a new model that has a new bezel and tail cap. The new bezel...

This is from the late 70's before the laser, it shoots a concentrate beam that is adjustable, so you can make it coincide where the sights are looking. It also have some springs to take the recoil, the batteries (C tipe) free float suspended by springs. The barrel goes in the top part and...

ON THE RECOIL ISSUE I have two Solarforce lights that I installed in a AK and a Remington 12 gauge. They are fairly new and I haven't done a lot of shooting yet. But so far they took a dozen slugs form the shotgun and one hundred rounds of 7,62 X 39 from the AK. Another tape...

The UTG mount sold by Cheaper than dirt for AK's also clamp in the AR and other rifles, it is a 3 place mount, so you also have room for laser and more. Black Bear

SOLARFORCE L-2 LED FLASHLIGHT 5 FUNCTION MODULE I have lately been using some components of Solarforce flashlights to make me a couple of tactical lights (to use in a Remington 1100 shotgun and in a Kalashnikov rifle). I bought a couple of loose bodies, heads, and modules, and for the...

A lumen figure is many times not enough to tell the power, range and usefulness of a light. For indoor and close outdoor use I consider the popular pocket or tactical lights (Fenix TK 10, Olight 20 etc.) good enough for about 50 yards. The limiting factor in throw, of course is the diameter...

The new Surefire G-2 have a aluminum bezel to ensure that more heat is dispersed and protect the emitter. The G-2 will put our 80 lumens. I like better the aftermarket emitters using the R-2 or Q-5 Cree emitters, they put out close to 200 (or 220) lumens. You can get the aftermarket lamps...

SANYO ENELOOP LOW DISCHARGE AA NIMH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES Here is a product that I can recommend highly. The batteries are very low self discharge; the claim by Sanyo is that they will keep 85 percent of the charge for a year when they are left in the shelf unused. They can also be used...

I will NOT be without one. I have a laser grip on my .45, it is my primary home defense gun, together with a Borealis 1050 lumens flashlight. After the alarm sounded... My tactic is to get to the bedroom door and from there control the passage way and the living room, with the body...

Plus one on the Crimson Trace laser Grips, I have two of my guns with them for several years now, and they are reliable. I have posted this before, but it gives an idea on how the laser can be used. I will NOT be without one. I have a laser grip on my .45, it is my primary home...

No negatives and all positives. Here is something that I posted before, but the picture shows how well the Laser Grips fit the 1911. I will NOT be without one. I have a laser grip on my .45, it is my primary home defense gun, together with a Borealis 1050 lumens flashlight. After...

I am with RCmodel, besides you need the light to indentify your target, otherwise you can be shooting a member of your own family. I made quite a few lights for my friends using a red filter for bow hunting (I used the Surefire 6P with red filter and P-61 lamp and a remote tailcap). My...
