Looking for practical LED gun light

@BTPost, you're lucky to have binocular NVG's. My first experience with NVG's was with the PVS-7 monocular. It would let you see green daylight at night, but with zero depth perception. If it hadn't been for a tiny spark of carbon from the exhaust of an M60 tank my HMMWV driver would have slammed right into the back of it. I darn near walked off a cliff while wearing them. Not really a user friendly piece of gear. I understand the current issue is much improved.

 

Here is a question, any idea where to find ultra high power Micro flashlights of decent quality? I have purchased a few amazon lights the last few years only to find the quality to be low and battery is ether crap, wont take a charge ( if its the rechargeable type) or the battery cost more then the light it came in! Any good leads to decent quality! The lights I have been getting are about the size of a AA battery, just a little longer, and they seem to have about a 400 lumin rating for about 1 hour, that's perfect, now we just need decent build quality and batteries at a reasonable price and a good charger to keep them topped up! This light needs to mount to the A2 front sight on my AR Carbine

 

Take a look at the Maglite XL50. Takes AAA battery.

 

That might work, it's a good size for what i'm looking for!

 

Yeah that's the one. Not "tactical" but bright enough and rugged.

 

This is a tiny powerhouse. I have one on my big key ring and the only change I've made to it is a triple wrap of stainless steel safety wire to secure the pocket clip to the light. (I do this with all my pocket clips, and haven't had an issue with one in years.)
