"I've had this light on my P320 Compact Carry for some time now, have ZERO gripes about it."
"I went into my friends half-acre backyard and had them flash me from over 100 feet away and it made me feel instantly disoriented and I looked away. However, I have not shot the gun with the light attached yet so I can't quite talk about its durability, though Streamlight seems to have good reviews on that end. Also, the other night the strobe feature stopped working but I just emailed them, I'll post an update to this review to see how that turns out."
"Of course, don't take my word for it- check one out at your local gun shops or big-box sportsman outlets and ask them to show you the light. The reason I cannot give this five stars is simply because I haven't owned either of my lights for more than a few months, will this hold the test of time and some abuse?"
"Very bright, mounted to my Glock 23 with ease."
"I looked for a long time and read various reviews before deciding to purchase this light for my Smith&Wesson M&P 9 Pro."
"I can't see paying $300 or more dollars for a flashlight from surefire or other competitors when this one does the exact same thing for such a good price!"
"All I can say here is that this light is blinding."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this flashlight because I work security detail in an ugly part of my city, and when I need a flashlight, I need it to work consistently every time - because my life could depend on it. After all, I couldn't find anything on the internet suggesting that anyone had ever had a problem with a Streamlight. Sure enough, it was a problem with the flashlight. Streamlight has a limited lifetime warranty on parts defects, and so I decided to send the flashlight to the Streamlight repair facility, after filling out an online repair form on Streamlight's website, accompanied by a detailed description of the problem. I called them and asked what the problem was with my light, and they said it was that I must be using bad or inferior batteries, because they couldn't find anything wrong with the light. I told them that there was indeed a problem with the light, and that I had used both Energiser and Duracell batteries with expiration dates of 2021, and they said that I must be mistaken, and that they strongly recommend more new batteries. For you to buy a flash light this expensive, you would have to need it for a tactical/emergency situation, and if it doesn't work in even simple situations, you have a serious problem."
"There really isn't a reason/excuse to not carry a flashlight - everyday. If you were like me, you are wondering - "how can a flashlight take a small CR123A and a AA battery?". The AA will protrude out of the end of the flashlight, but you just compress the battery down as you screw on the end cap. Just momentary press the end cap 9 times and press to click on the 10th."
"Walking up to a car with illegally tinted windows on a traffic stop at midnight is incredibly uneasy."
"It's plenty bright with good run time off of rechargeable AA batteries (buy Panasonic Eneloops, you'll thank me later) and with a CR123A it pretty much matches the performance of my TLR-1s, though the beam is a little yellower."
"When I heard about the ProTac HL4 and that you'll be able to use rechargeable batteries I immediately pre ordered the HL4. It's still a great flashlight, especially if you don't like wasting money on purchasing cr123 batteries."

"I have been sprayed with saber red in my training and used it in my job several times."
"Its size makes it easy to hide under a shirt when it's clipped to your pants or inside your hand. Hold the pepper spray at arms length away from you and slide the lever to the side that exposes the hole and point it at your attacker's face. Press down on the lever and watch a strong stream of pepper spray assault your attacker. PROS: ~exactly as described. ~small and easily transportable. ~easily hidden. ~can be clipped onto clothes. ~simple to use. ~no fear of it going off by mistake. ~works as mentioned. CONS: ~None really."
"After being sprayed, in real life, you have at least a half hour of blindness, skin on fire as though acid has been thrown in your face, and more fluids coming from your nose and mouth than you thought possible."
"Clip and weight balance (top heavy) do not allow a secure, upright carry in a shirt or jacket pocket."
"Also, there is a very nice safety feature built into the mechanism that would have prevented an overly curious 5 year old from having miserable eyes if she opened the box (we stopped her, but felt even better about the situation when we saw the safety)."
"I see that drivers these days are going to great extent to let other drivers know when they feel that their space has been invaded do to at times, just a oops -a- daisy mistake by another driver."
"Only thing I've noticed that people should be aware of is that the "safety" on this isn't the greatest UNLESS you have a specific pouch to carry it in."

"The stun gun is also supposed to have a serial number and the name of the manufacturer. I also uploaded a photo of the California penal code law which I researched to make sure I can carry it. As I was closing the gate to my home I noticed a male walking in the middle of the street! If you leave your home or any place in the middle of the night, look everywhere before you expose your self. I figured the red switch is turned on by the index finger. The carrying case and the charging cable do seem a bit cheap though."
"Just recently received it."
"This thing will put a 250 pound man down in about two seconds flat."
"Best taser for the price on Amazon."
"By far the best taser I have bought this makes number 36 and if you want to stop your attacker this is by far the one after 5 seconds of shock it took 15 minutes for the person to be able to move so if your looking to stop someone no retreats this is the one."
"The prongs stick out quite a bit and there safe anti grab parts on the sides of a perp tried to grab it."
"I,got my VIPERTEK VTS-989 -999,000,000 HEAVY DUTY,Stungun,today and it seems ,like it will put a person down if I,would have to ever use it,which I hope that situation never comes around to where I would have to use it,.it has a, very distinct loud ness to it which will get some ones attention right now,.i,read the instructions and fired it for less than 1- second like they say in the paper you get with it,its,louder than others that ive had,but this one,its a,very strong and heavy duty put"em ,on the ground stun gun.the holster sucks,but I got it re-stiched at the top wheremost of these fail with in one day,.other than that im happy with it."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Most of my shooting is done at indoor ranges; and everyone knows that gunfire (or any loud noise) is more severe in an enclosed environment. In my set of Impact Pros, the volume needs to be cranked up almost to full maximum in order to attain a "normal" level of hearing, and it seems to me that there is also an unusually high amount of background hiss. As far as "cutting out" when there is a sharp spike in the noise level, though, the electronics in the Impact Pro are wonderful. If the unthinkable happens and I really do have to press that trigger one unfortunate night, I'd prefer to come out on the other side with my hearing still intact; but the other 'plus' about the (electronic) earmuffs that is often overlooked is the sound amplification. Howard Leight does not market these as "tactical" hearing protection, so it would be unfair of me to rate them as such. So would I recommend the Howard Leight Impact Pro earmuffs to my best friend or family members? Some misguided individuals will claim that the low profile makes them better suited for long gun use than the full size Impact Pro; i.e. that the low profile design doesn't interfere with their cheek weld. What I know for a fact, though, is that bigger guns make a bigger boom, and I'd much rather be wearing these Impact Pro muffs than the Impact Sport when I'm shooting a big-bore rifle/shotgun... or worse, when I'm standing NEXT TO a person shooting one at the indoor range! As a "graduation present", I bought her a pair of these Howard Leight Impact Pro earmuffs. :-) FYI: I also bought my daughter-in-law the ESS ICE NARO 2x Eyeshield Kit as part of the graduation present."
"I know that there are a lot of reviews about this item but I wanted to share my experience having purchased both the Impact Pro and the Impact Sport (R-025024) model Howard Leight by Honeywell R-02524 Impact Sport Sound Amplification Electronic Earmuff, Black. They look bulky and if they did not have the same brand name you would think that the Impact Pro is a much more inferior product than the Impact Sport. When you put the Impact Pro on and raise the volume all the way to high, the sounds are not louder than what you would hear without them while the Impact Sport amplify the sounds and you can hear better. They are also enormous compared to the Impact Sport (see attached photos) and they do not fold nicely as the Impact Sport do. I also find both the Impact Pro and the Impact Sport very comfortable and do not feel that I want to take them off after a couple of hours of wearing them but comfort varies from person to person and you may find them more or less comfortable than I do. In my opinion, the Impact Pro are made for the indoor shooting range and the Impact Sport are made for outdoor activities and would most likely be great for hunting because they amplify the sounds around you while they seal your ears from the gun shots as long as you are not shooting high caliber pistols of rifles."
"CONS: This set has poor sound reproduction, quite dull, so buying them for music is disappointing. On balance, for me (I don't listen to music while shooting), they are very good, and I appreciate the further noise reduction, their basic function. Will normally use the smaller, 22 db reduction units outdoors unless I know someone brought their "cannon", and these indoors."
