I recently sold some of my original SureFire incandescent WML that I had been using for the past 15 years. 60 lumens didn't work well on my farm, but was fine indoors. The 100 lumen lights ALMOST cut it outdoors. When I started using 200 I was set.

My Benelli's dedicated SureFire forearm has various outputs. Very nice.

I liked the Nav lights on my old 500's.

For the money, a Streamlight TLR-1 cannot be beat. They're easy to find for $100, and are bombproof. Streamlight's CS IS OUTSTANDING too. Their product didn't fail, but the user made a mistake and they not only fixed it but also upgraded me

I've got a TLR 1s on my bedside gun right now! I just wanted something with more punch for outdoors since I don't plan on my indoor CQB because I'm no operator lol

GD, I have a TLR-1 HL that I absolutely LOVE for an indoor gun. http://streamlight.com/en-us/product/product.html?pid=276

I think that it would also work for a LIMITED RANGE outdoor firearm as well, notice LIMITED RANGE. IF you want a Throw into the next state, get the TLR-1 HPL. http://www.streamlight.com/en-us/product/product.html?pid=313

That thing has a spot that WILL light up the next block! I tried out one of these and it is WAY to much indoors. BUT outside it will "Light up the night". Has a very intense center spot and a decent "Side spill" for outdoors use.

SO MY recommendation based upon ONLY these two lights is

1. TLR-1 HL for indoor use
2. TLR-1 HPL for outside if you want a long thrower.

GD,
Totally agree about not being an operator, LOL. I'm closer to needing to be operated on, haha.

I can only think of one situation where I'd be outside with a light, and that's looking for a prowler. The light needed for that is a personal choice. When I'm checking my house (outside) I do so with a holstered handgun and handheld flashlight.

Otherwise the only way I see needing an outdoor light is:

A) if you have livestock and a predator issue;
B) social breakdown.

The latter warrants a AA light since CR123 resupply could be tricky for us non-operators. A solar or handcrank AA charger can be found for $50...and will keep the night from being spooky until well after you've exhausted your ammo supply.

Good Answer Gary!

I still fully believe that in a true end of the world survival situation, you MUST be the rabbit, hiding from the hoard of wolves, UNTIL you can't. Then you must become the most rabid, dangerous do ANYTHING WERERABBIT that you can be.

Lol well said Randy. I think the x300U will really shine at coyote hunting lol.

Fewr the werewabbit!

I bought a bunch of Lithium AA batteries.

Texted the shop manager where I'm getting my STI DVC limited. He talked to the owner and the knocked another $99 off of it. I'm pretty sure I'm getting at their price at this point. I'm totally blown away. Im wondering if I will have to get a tattoo of the shops name or something lol.

Ever see those idiots standing on the side of the road dressed like the Statue of Liberty or holding a sign saying "XYZ is going out of business"......................

We traveled 20 minutes to Galveston Island for spring break so I stopped at the Cabela's that just opened here today and bought a lounge chair.
