Would recommend:  yes

I only purchased this light because I have SERPA holster as my duty holster. This light is the only light that will fit in said holster. My only complaint so far is the switch has a long sweeping stroke and it is difficult to switch it to strobe mode on first attempt, which turns it into a worthless feature in a tactical situation. The switch may be difficult to reach for those with shorter finger. I had some initial difficult figuring out how to secure the battery door. The instructions were not to much of a help with this. If I could have chosen from any light on the market this light would not have been my first pick.

I bought the light and the holster for duty use. I have had the light and serpa level 3 holster for over a year now and I have had zero problems with it. The light performs flawlessly and the holster is fast and secure. The light and holster have both held up to over a year of graveyards on patrol. Not a easy task when cops are known to figure out ways to break anvils. Both well worth the money.

I purchased this light because I know of the effectiveness of a strobing light to disorient an opponent. The light was much smaller than I thought and mounted easily to my sidearm. I choose a left handed option due to the extended finger guard on my HK USP .45 full size handgun and it works great with my left index finger. Light is bright at 90 lumens, and the strobing feature is awesome. The light is simple and reliable to operate without any nobs to turn. This light is designed to be slightly offset, depending on a left or right handed model so just know this beforehand to avoid holster problems. Light attaches and detaches easily and mounts securely to my sidearm. A great weaponlight for any pistol, awesome for those with an HK USP which has limited options. All this from Blackhawk so the quality is outstanding. The price has also come way down so that is a plus! I love this light and will probably purchase another for my other sidearm. A laste note, if you haven't purchased from Opticsplanet, ...

Pros:  Works well with Serpa holster
Cons:  The battery cover seems a little flimsy
Would recommend:  yes

I bought this light to use with my Sig 226 in a Serpa holster. This combo works real well. I do not have a lot of confidence in the battery cover because it does not seem to secure very well. But I shot a 150 round IDPA match last week and the cover never came off, so maybe I need to reconsider.

Pros:  Easy to use and has strobe function, bright 90 lumens
Cons:  looks cumbersome on pistol, strange mount
Would recommend:  yes

The mounting of this light is the only trouble you'll have with this bright light. You get used to it, but it still looks goofy mounted, as it's on an off-set. I love the strobe function though. Works great with the Blackhawk light bearing SERPA holsters.

I bought this light because I have other blackhawk products and they are they are superb. The light had all the features I was looking for. The tail cap is the biggest flaw it is poorly designed and doesn't match up well.
