This is a great special purpose light, not the kind you'd want to use everyday, just cause of the battery life/cost. But I've found batteries in bulk pretty cheap and since going this route I use it often and it hasn't let me down.

The light is super bright for its size. Makes blood-trailing much easier. I recommend purchasing CR123A batteries in buld online somewhere as this light will eat a pair in about an hour. $15 for two batteries at the time will break you. I purchased a dozen for $15 online and I'm back in business!!

I've owned a Scorpion now for at least 12 years. It is still as good as when it was new. Just gave three of them as Christmas presents.

I bought this for my tactical web belt set up. For what I paid for it, I can't complain. Streamlight makes some of the best battle-proven lights in the world. I won't even waste my money on any other lights. This is a great little light for tight spaces, it's light in weight and has a rubber handle that ensures proper grip. The light also comes with an extra bulb aswell as a set of batteries! Very bright light that is usefull incase you encounter a dangerous suspect, you can temporarily blind them before applying force for that extra reaction time.

I love this little flashlight. This is something everyone should carry, in their pocket, their car, their purse, and with your gun. It's super small, and super bright - bright enough to temporary blind someone if aimed into their eyes. I bought 4 of these and keep them with my guns.
