Light/laser combo for pistol

[Gene]

Wanted to see what people are using and like. Considering the Viridian X5L or the Stream light TLR2-HL.

 

[Django]

I have had both a red Crimson Trace and the TLRs . I currently have the green Viridian laser light combo. Viridian all the way for me. I can see the green way better in day and low light is not as glaring for me and the light is very compact and bright. My only issue is deciding which firearm to keep it on.

 

[JohnAL]

All I can tell you is that the Streamlite TLR-4 red is worthless in daylight.

 

[Gene]

That's why I'm leaning toward the Viridian with the green laser battery life is shorter but easier to see in daylight. A lot of other nice functions. I only have 2 handguns I'd consider mounting it on the other would get the TLR1 I have.

 

[Signal25]

TLR-2.
Trust my life on one.................

 

[FrankT]

The Green viridian, very well made units, red is useless in the daylight.

Viridian Green does not get washed out in bright light. This is also way Leupold is getting away from Red/Green crosshairs and now Green/Blue in their systems.

 

[Gene]

Thanks all! Frank great price but not in stock yet pre order not sure how long before they would get it.

 

[FrankT]

Well darn, do a search for the one you want and see if you can get a good price, Viridians are high.

 

[FUPAGUNT]

Do your homework on Botach...

 

[FrankT]

Tell me? Ordered twice from them and got what I ordered, they send a sale email daily or more. Pain in the butt to sign up and now I lost the info

 

[FUPAGUNT]

Looks like you got lucky Frank. Ive just read some HORRIBLE reviews on the company when I was thinking of ordering from them in the past. Heres a good place to start.

You get the point. Not about to even take a chance sending these morons any of my hard earned money. Id rather pay a bit more from a reputable company

 

[Kanaloa]

The Streamlights are good quality at a good price. I use mine on my home defense pistol. The red laser works great in that role.

 

[Gene]

Thanks Fupa while I would love to save a few bucks ill stick with a reputable place to buy. Still on fence for the strealight tlr2-g or the x5l.

 

[FrankT]

I certainly will not be recommending them again.

Viridian Laser is what I use on my Glock 20 "hunter". The green dot can be quickly ID'ed if placed on an object that is in the direct sunlight. In less ambient light conditions than that,the dot is BRILLIANT. Unknown how their lights work.
Edit To Add: My Viridian also has multiple modes of operation. Constant on,strobe,blink at different rates,brink rate that speeds up,etc. I find the need for constant on and strobe ONLY.

AND ............ I have dealt with BoTech in the past. I have probably bought 25 Glock mags from them. Always the cheapest anywhere,fast shipping,great overall service. These experiences were some years ago when they were in the middle of bad press. Because of my experience with them in the past,I would do business with them again. [ This is not a recommendation,just one persons experience. ] --- SAWMAN

I had my Viridian laser/light for sale a while back. I'm glad no one was interested in it. I would have regretted selling it. Botach has had bad publicity all over the web but I went with them once. I didn't have any issues but that was just my one and only transaction with them. Who knows?

 

[FUPAGUNT]

Who knows, they might of got their shit together. It was a few years ago I was thinking of using them. Still not getting my business though..
