Bad mama jama - Streamlight Protac Rail Mount HL-X Laser

When I began shopping for a weapon light I was kind of shocked at prices. However I continued reading to determine the real differences along with the good, bad and ugly. I am a big proponent of “you get what you pay for” and often I am not satisfied unless I buy higher priced models. But, I still couldn’t get comfortable that spending +/- $500 was really necessary for a “light”. When this model went on sale it didn’t take but a few minutes to jump on it. Upon receipt, immediately installed on a AR. The mounting is rocks solid with only a large thumb screw. It came fully equipped with a pressure switch and mounting hardware that worked exquisitely on my hand rail and mounted at 9’oclock (I’m a lefty). The performance is amazing. The strobe mode is a killer! Shortly before dusk I whipped out a target and set it up at 50yds in my back yard. When I fired up the laser it was about 8” low. And slight twist of the Allen screw and it’s dead on at 50yds. Totally pleased!
