First off, a quick rebuttal to a previous review. For laser only operation, one simply twists the light clockwise (as weapon is pointed down range) like a typical flashlight, maybe a quarter of a turn. The gasket is thick enough that it should still be sealed. Super light, doesn't pull the gun down at all. After initial zero per the instructions (25 meters) you won't be able to see the dot inside of 12 feet or so if you're looking straight down the sights. Then you have to go out and do some groups at different distances and see what's going to work for you. They do provide two Allen wrenches in a ziplock baggie and a CR2 battery. Mighty nice of them.

Ive had this little light for about 4 years now. It does what it is suppose to, changed batteries twice in 4 years but it saw minimal overall use. Compared to my streamlight flashlight I carry on my hip, this is no where near as bright. I would put it on par with a 3 c cell maglight as far as brightness. still disorienting, just not overwhelming like some others I use. as for fit, It fits any standard mil-spec rail. I saw another review stating it is not universal, which is untrue. It fits everything except the USP, and anyone who has a H&K should already know it has a different rail mount system than just about the rest of the industry and you need a adapter for about any mount. The only real cons I can say about the light itself is the intensity it lacks, and the inability to use laser only. It has been mounted thus far on a glock 23, m&p45, FNP-9, M&P 40 c, XD40, and a taurus millenium pro45, which it stays on most of the time due to I never carry that one. Fit everything Ive placed ...

It's a good but not great investment. However, I do like the fact that it doesn't really affect the weight of the gun. It's a breeze to install and operate. The light is sufficient and would have been better if it was an LED. The light remains on at all times even when the laser is in use. Would have preferred an option there. Overall, it looks great, operates with ease, and fits like it a dream. It's worth the money!

Overall, this is a very nice product. It's easy to install and set-up, as well as remove. But, I with that the laser were on top, as opposed to the flashlight. This would allow for better accuracy, since there would be less variation in elevation as you move toward and away from the target.

The Opticplanet.com website was great. I got my order super fast and was not overcharged. Great customer service. The light/laser combo is for your compact handgun, fits my Glock 30 perfect. Two problems.. 1) light is not bright enough, needs a LED. 2) Have to remove the battery after using?? what, couldn't make a unit that doesn't drian the battery when not in use?? Otherwise, great purchase. Also bought a holster from the Malabar Front website, which fits my Glock 30 SF with the Light/Laser attachment.

I really like the size of this package: compact yet powerful for it's size. Fits nicely on my Taurus 24/7 .45 ACP. Excellent distance for both the flashlight and the laser at night. The laser is not "washed out" by the flashlight which is a definite plus. Very nice product. I am buying another for my other Taurus.

Would recommend:  yes

The X2 has an extremely bright light and accurate laser. The laser can be turned off for light only operation but the light cannot be turned off for laser only operation. I would like to have the laser only option in addition to the light only opperation, but for those who don't require that feature it is an awesome tool.

Warning: This is not a universal mount. It would not fit my gun. When I called OpticsPlanet, they said I needed to buy an acc. mount for $67.00.

Author: Chad from Florida on Sep 20, 2007
Pros:  Excellent fit. Perfect size for a compact gun
Cons:  no extra rail adaptors
Would recommend:  yes

This light fits great on the H & K P2000. It's easy to adjust and very intuitive to use. I tried the MX6 on this gun but there was too much slop in the rail that allowed the light to move. The X2 doesn't move.
