Streamlight pulls another one out of the hat! Check this light out below:
As I am standing there next to the door, in the blackest of nights. All I can think of is what I have to do. The thoughts will not leave me head. It is very important to not only me, but to everyone. Trying to breath in this mask covering my face is like last year when I could not walk into any store because of a five letter word, (COVID). Anyways back to the story. I was ready, focus, leaned over as the breacher was set to breach. The word came down and the breach mashed the door handle as the door flew wide
open. I was the first one throw the front door riding the door until I hit the wall. Just then I saw some guy fall out of his chair from watching TV staring right at me. I was yelling, “don’t move” when he continued to stare me down as he reached for a weapon. I hit the switch on my new Protac Rail Mount HL-X mounted on the front of my AR. Oh, did I tell you it was a 1000 lumens and he took it right in the face as his eye immediately closed. His hands went right to his eyes. HAHA, I bet he could not see for a week after that. I then went over to him and and forced him to the ground and cuffed him. As I was doing this the rest of the team cleared the room and moved on. Mission complete without anyone hurt!
I know there is a lot of people out there that will swear that this light is better then this one or that one etc. But the truth is, that it all falls down to personal preference. Now with that being said, let’s change your point of view. Streamlight is one company that truly cares about their product. I have used them on my deployments and beyond. Not once have they ever failed me. The newest one yet is the Protac Rail Mount HL-X.
