Six stars! - Crimson Trace CMR-208 Rail Master Universal Tactical Cree XPL LED Weapon Light

I finally found THE light! Wanted an aluminum bodied weapon mounted light, greater than 300 lumens, for an H&K P2000SK .40 S&W. Might as well have been looking for a unicorn! The P2000SK has exactly one inch of rail space (recoil lug to front of trigger guard). Nothing meeting my criteria would fit (Streamlight customer service wasn't sure if the tlr 7 would fit or not). Until now! Got this little gem in the mail and slapped it on the H&K. Even the mounting key is aluminum! Not plastic like from other manufacturers. It locked up solid, with about a 1/16 of an inch to spare, and is plenty bright. The strobe is very disorienting in a dark room. The metal activation paddles extend just inside my oversized trigger guard, making it extremely easy to reach with my trigger finger or my support hand thumb (shooting thumbs forward). Took it to the range and put 45 rounds through it. Still rock solid on the rail and it didn't flicker under recoil from what I could tell. Time will tell as to the longevity of this light but it feels like quality.... plus it's a Crimson Trace! The light sticks out about an inch and a quarter past the muzzle of my 3.26 inch barrel but I expected that. The only problem is that I now need to buy another custom kydex holster to fit. Oh well. The light is awesome! Optics planet gave me 10 percent off because the item was over $49 and another 10 percent off because they were having a Fourth of July sale. Got it for $80 out the door. I kind of feel like I stole something! I hope this review helps others who have been lusting for a quality light for their abbreviated length pistol rail. Thanks Crimson Trace and Optics Planet!
