Great for home defense - Streamlight TLR-6 Tactical LED Weapon Light for Springfield Hellcat

Every time I use this light, I realize just how much more I love it.

You know, 100 lumens doesn't sound like a lot, but, for what I use it for, it's certainly enough. I'd say as long as you're within 20 yards outdoors in low-light conditions or within any normal residential distance indoors, this light is perfect for scanning, searching, navigating, and identifying threats. I don't think it'll blind anyone, but it'll certainly provide you with enough information to decide how you want to proceed with whatever you're dealing with. The light has a nice hotspot and has more of a focus on a concentrated beam, while also providing some flood to give you some scope of situational awareness in the direction that you're looking. Overall, I think it's a great option for the money and form factor.

If I had any complaints it would be:
1) The battery type is uncommon, thus harder to source/replace. Battery life is good, but finding a replacement may or may not be difficult. I understand why it was chosen, it's just not as easily findable.

2) The laser point of aim can shift slightly, when pressing the activation buttons. Not a huge deal because you'll still easily be hitting whatever you're aiming at, at the distances you'll be using this thing for, but it should be noted. Not surprising, given the mounting method and that the housing is plastic instead of metal, but it's worth mentioning. I only notice it because I have a red dot mounted and I noticed that the laser would be shifted about an inch to the left or right (at around 10-15 yards) after I pressed one of the activation buttons (respectively). Like I said, not a huge deal because you'll still easily be on target, but it's noticeable if you're paying attention. At first I had thought that maybe the housing screws weren't tightened all the way down, but they were. I just think there's a little flex between the housing and how the laser module is mounted in the housing, because it's plastic. If it were going on something that you were trying to shoot sub-MOA out of, I'd say it was an issue, but since this is going on something that almost always going to be at point-and-shoot distances, it's really a non-issue.

I would definitely buy one again, without hesitation.
