Got three of these things. Two of them are mounted on ar-15s very rugged and easy to use no problems even when using in rifle classes. Have 2000 rounds on one of them and just changed batteries.

I bought the M6 after having an intruder in my house. I realized I needed a detachable gun mounted light. The benefits of having a light on your weapon leaves one hand free to open doors or manage other tasks while clearing your house. Having the light detachable allows you to illuminate areas without having your weapon pointed at it like your kids bedrooms. The Insight Tech web site shows the M6 mounted on a Springfield XD. Attaching the light is very quick and easy. With a little practice I could attach and detach the light without having to look down. The mount seemed solid when attached as well. The light is bright enough, not enough to blind a suspect but it gives decent illumination fo my purposes. The laser is a benefit in close quarters since all focus is on the target. I have an XDm 40 which is identical to the XD except for an upgraded match trigger, barrel, and hardened slides..... or atleast I thought. Taking the light to the range I am able to get off 3-4 rounds before ...

I installed the M6 TLI Tactical Laser Illuminator into a Sig Sauer P229, w/picatinny rail. Awesome fitting and performance. No tools required to install. Easy to use and light. A little difficult to uninstall as it's snugged tight onto the rail.

Would recommend:  yes

I was very disappointed that this laser light combo did not fit my Springfield 1911 Operator model .45. This is my home protection weapon and this unit will not slide on the utility rail of my gun. Fits great on my Glock but I really wanted a unit I could interchange on multiple weapons.

This fits on a picatinny rail and I have a rail adapter that lets it mount on my HK USP 45 Tact. The laser greatly improved my group shots and with the light unit, enables a safe, direct shot with less concerns of a stray shot. The unit has a mount that is a quick release and it holds a zero on the laser when re-mounted. I am very glad that I bought this unit.

This is a pretty nice light/laser combo. Fits my Ruger SR9 nicely. The only negative is that the illum bulb burned out after less than 30 minutes of use! ...and a replacement bulb is costly. Disappointed - maybe the LED version is a better choice?
