I'm looking to get an IR laser/illuminator all in the same package and from what I've researched that means an atpial-c, dbal i2 9007, dbal d2, perst 3, and holosun ls321g. Of these what is my best option? I like the atpial for aesthetic reasons (little as that matters) and that it's been fielded/lots of knowledge about it. I really like the illuminator on the d2 but don't like the red glow. I've had a 9007 dbal before and wasn't really impressed with it. And lastly the perst, I'm not sure on longevity of this one. Any help would be appreciated.

Several factors to consider
Ergonomics useful modes illuminator capability tape switch compatibility Illuminator visible signature Price Size Durability The MAWL has them all (maybe the price is high but not really considering its the same as the DBAL A4) No sinlge laser does them all currently except the MAWL available to the civilian market. The Dbal A3 is probably the sweet spot other than its funky zeroing procedure of positively loading the springs. Its illuminator is good, ergo nomics for activation are good, switchology is ok, price is middle of the road. Durability is good. |

You never know what you are going to get with the Perst.
I know it is not preferred but peq 15? |

For what it’s worth I’m not a fan of the MAWL C+, so you aren’t missing anything there in my mind. I also think the ATPIAL C is a steaming pile of shit, and would recommend steering clear

That being said, I don't think they've been around long enough for anyone to really be able to give feedback on long term durability of service life, but I've seen Russian electronics before, and let's just say they're not always terribly impressive, but that's neither here nor there. My bigger concern with the Persts would be that they've more or less been flying under the radar in terms of output because they're an overseas company and they could give two shits what the FDA thinks--U.S. manufacturers have to seek variances and do a decent amount of testing to ensure "safe" power levels for open commercial sales. To my knowledge they haven't started being seized at customs yet, but it's impossible to say if and when someone might wise up to them, and that will be the end of that. IR aiming lasers aren't necessarily at the top of the FDA or CBP's enforcement list, but that doesn't mean they're never going to take notice. The good is that probably people who have them will be allowed to keep them, but those that have them on order, out on RMA, and those that are selling them might not have as good a time, and then once they break, they broke, like all the other gray market full power lasers out there. If neither the DBAL-D2 nor the I2/A3/ATPIAL-C satisfy your needs, my inclination would be to say to go ahead and save up for a MAWL. ~Augee |

I have the PERST-3, 4 and the Holosun LS321G. They all have their pros and cons but overall I'd go with the PERST 3 as its full powered, simple easy to remember controls and awesome multifunction tape swtich, and a good price compared to the US made civilian legal options. Haven't tried the MAWL so can't give an opinion on that but no way Im spending $2500 if I can get a full power PERST for much less.
Holosun is a reliable and capable unit and I highly recommend it as a budget/starter option. My only complaints are the illuminator sucks, only good to about 100m, and it sits high so I had to mount it 3 o'clock instead of 12 and the controls are cluttered like the DBAL. I tried a friends DBAL A3 but was not impressed |

However, we deal with a lot of individual LEO customers (e.g.,) who have to equip themselves on their own dime, and are likewise restricted from purchasing high output IR laser systems whom I cannot in good conscience recommend a gray market laser to, in which case the MAWL is top dog by a long shot from an illuminator performance standpoint, and for punching through photonic barriers especially. I can make an ATPIAL-C or DBAL-I2/A2 work because I understand their limitations, and the DBAL-D2 makes for a decent match in terms of downrange performance, but again, comes with the price of downrange signature (I've played the FoF games with the D2, yes, you can see it) that makes it less than ideal for duty use. ~Augee |

DBAL-A3, DBAL-i2 Single Spectrum, and ATPIAL-C (I’ve owned all 3) might as well be the same thing. Illuminator is actually focusable on the Steiner units, but they’re so weak anyway, that none of them are worth much beyond 100y. That distance gets even shorter in mixed lighting environments. Of these 3, I’d pick the i2 simply because it’s the cheapest and I really don’t have a use for a visible laser.
D2 is obviously much more powerful, but as you noted, there is a red visible light emission from the front of the unit. The issues with that are vastly overblown, IMO, for the majority of civilian end users, but that’s a decision you obviously have to make for yourself based on your specific needs and likely usage scenarios. If I had to utilize a LAM around the $1k price point, it would be a D2. MAWL is vastly superior in a number of ways, IMO. I like the ergonomics and “switchology” the best out of everything I’ve tried (I don’t like tape switches at all). Useable range is greatly increased over the first 3. I was absolutely amazed at it’s performance in mixed light environments compared to all the other “civilian legal” options I’ve used. I haven’t banged mine around too much, but I have no concerns with durability. I’m thinking about picking up a Perst-3 to give it a run. Haven’t tried one yet, but obviously it being a full power unit leaves me with no concerns about limited range. My only concerns are in the reliability department. It’s obviously all anecdotal, but it seems I’ve read about quite a few issues requiring a repair trip back to Russia in the big Perst thread. That doesn’t give me too many warm fuzzies due to both the obviously long down time as well as the possible Customs confiscation issues Augee mentioned (all it takes is one idiot writing a letter, and we all know someone will do it eventually). |

I've used/tried out everything except a PERST3 and Holosun. For the money the 9007 is the best deal if your AOA is indoors, very dark areas, or trying to have the lowest signature possible. Take it out of that environment and the illuminator is going to suck eggs at 75 yards in urban lighting. As another member stated the glow on the D2 is mostly overblown. TNVC made a thread on their findings and stated that a faint pinkish glow could be seen @ 2 degrees from the illuminator out to about 100 yards. IMHO by the time your target seen the glow it'd be light outs by the time they said/thought "Hey Wha" since light discipline never changes for white or IR light. I have a D2 and for the money you can't beat it, but compared to my MAWL it's extremely slow and cumbersome to operate/switch modes/focus the illuminator. The Perst "had" me intrigued for a little while but a few members has experienced problems that has me questioning their QA big time. A warranty is great, but take into account shipping cost, possibly getting lost in the mail, getting pulled by customs etc would have me worried.

I have the Holosun and the PERST-3. If you can get the Holosun for a real good deal, and make an honest call about how much IR illuminator you have *really needed in the past* - it's a nice unit. But it retails for $800 and the illuminator is only good for 75-100 depending on ambient. The pointers go forever, even at FDA levels. The problem comes if you have to pay close to retail - for just $300 more you can get a Red PERST-3 (or less if they still have the Gen 1 Plug Close Out deal going). It's tall, but Lower 1/3 was fine for me.
The PERST is full power, and Green or Green+ is almost exactly half of what a MAWL C1+ costs. But even as an owner, I admit you may get some form of a defect, and have to do exchanges with Ivan Tactical (the only place I'd buy it, even though I took a chance on the Ebay store). Mine came with the Blue IR indicator lights not working - I don't care about that, so I consider it good, but still... KPog got a bad one though IIRC. TX-Zen and nmxdavenn have roughed theirs up a bit and they are fine. I don't know jack about any of your other units listed. I think you just need to decide if you want to pay about $1300 and maybe play the 2 week shipping time game if you get a wonky PERST (I don't recall anyone ever saying they were outright screwed over), or you want a guaranteed working civ powered MAWL for about $2500. As usual it comes down to "need" vs "want", and how thick your wallet is. |

Quoted: You aren’t wrong there. My dislike for the MAWL C+ is that the illuminator actually works a little too well and makes the aiming laser extremely difficult to see in certain settings. I also agree, nothing compares to a full powered PEQ or a DBAL A2. @smeeg It all boils down to the illuminator and having enough options to deal with various lighting conditions.

As a guy who is kind of newish to this game. I love the idea of the mawl, at least with how it works. If I have the controls right in my mind, the slider for the illumination is a great idea, so much better than twist the head. I like the idea it is designed to mount "on top" but be off to the side, I do not like what I see when looking at the size of the other lasers/lights out there, too wide too tall. I do like the switch layout of the mawl, makes sense to me.
Do not like the cost. Do not want white light and visible laser. My perfect design would be mawl ish. IR only, slider zoom on the illumination, adjustable power for the illumination. May be switch layout would be one button switchable to be just laser or both but with adjustable power on the illumination. Other button, call it turbo illumination for when you need the extra punch. I think this would be perfect, low power when needed 75% of the time, and high power illumination when needed at the push of a button. I dont want or need white light and or a visible laser on a firearm setup for night work. If I want white light, I can slap on a inforce wml with IR when needed and have it helmet mounted the rest of the time. For now I have an inforce wml ir and a lasermax ir mounted. Works fine from what playing around in the dark I have done. |

I absolutely love my MAWL, but there are some things I wish were different. For instance, I dislike having 4 switches on top of my rifle when I run it with a tape switch and I dislike having to remove my white light to adjust the zero. Also, I wish the adjustments had a more positive click.
That said, the ergonomics are awesome. It’s way easier to adjust the MAWL than it is to adjust the setting of a PEQ or a DBAL. Additionally, adjusting the focus of a peq can be a real pain in the butt depending on your setup. So pretty much from my senseless rambling, there are great options out there, but they could be better. For doing it on the cheap, a DBAL i2 and a surefire vamp really isn’t a bad option. Or you could look for a used DBAL A4 |

I love long Augee posts. And he's right, that damned basement is darrrrk.
Another situation that comes to mind where target-side visibility would make a difference is in an overwatch/sniper sort of situation where you might be using a clip-on and an illuminator. Say it's the D2 and you're just sitting there observing and calling back information about the target - and they see this red light coming on and off on the roofline down the street. Might not be awesome. I'm curious about what is it about laser illuminators that makes them less visible than LEDs of the same wavelength. Is it that LEDs are leaking down into visible ranges more whereas a laser has a tighter band of wavelengths it's emitting? Is it more that the beam is tighter so you have to have the laser pointed right in your eyes to pick it up versus being further off-axis and picking up the LED? I honestly haven't looked back into a laser illuminator like the MAWL or high power PEQs because I value my eyes... but shining them into your palm at close range you can definitely still see a red/pink glow. I just wonder about why two separate lighting 'technologies' supposedly emitting the same wavelength of light would show up more or less in the visible spectrum. If it's the leaky band sort of thing, maybe just slapping on some more vis-blocking filter film to the front of the D2 illuminator would fix it right up ¯\_(?)_/¯ |

You peek out into the pitch dark, and you see one or two glowing red orbs swirling around in the darkness, and you grab your gun and send a hail of rounds into those red orbs. Be a SWAT cop: you've hit the building, but you see a staircase heading down into a sizeable basement. You know there are several bad guys hiding out inside that may have fled into the basement. This is a real life active building, not the shoothouse you're used to at the range. Buildings aren't clean, there's glasses and plates, fire extinguishers, silverware, furniture, posters and signage, all sorts of crap hanging out inside of an active building. You get down in the basement and realize that you can't see a goddamn thing, even with your ass kicking 2500+ FOM L3 UF WP tubes in your TNV/RNVG, so you kick on your IR illuminator from your DBAL-D2 so you can actually see. You turn into a big room, all sorts of shit is reflecting back at you, you're trying to sort out in a 1,000+ square foot room what's a threat, and what's not, and where someone could be hiding. As you scan the basement, you suddenly see a glint of what could be eye shine, and next thing you know, there's a hail of bullets headed your way.

But the point is, to some people, in some situations, the visible signature of an LED illuminator--ANY LED illuminator, can absolutely be important.

I found a really good deal on an atpial on the EE from someone local to me. I'm not Leo so if I decide I need more illumination I'll just run a vampire or an ir illuminator on my helmet.

View Quote I think the point being conveyed by TNVC's story is not so much the LED Illuminator isn't worth having ever, but that if you have the choice between LED and Laser you should always go with a laser based system. If the choice is between LED and nothing, then obviously no one is going to suggest foregoing the LED and being completely blind. Sometimes discussions of what is incredibly ideal gets conflated with peoples realistic budget constraints - just like how Augee mentioned how incredibly valuable a COTI can be in that same basement. If we got an equally long story about how using the COTI he was able to detect a nodded up threat passively but, because someone with the MAWL went active w/ IR they got blasted - we wouldn't come away from that story assuming that if we couldn't buy a COTI to go with the PVS-14 and the MAWL, we should just leave it all at home. |

Augee,
Thank you for putting this shit so elegantly. Something I lack. I can’t get over how so many people ignore the importance of white light and vis lasers along with the importance of having everything squared away BEFORE you need it and ready for a worst case scenario that very often doesn’t involve ir. Great post. |

You mean me. About that, the pic you posted explains my issue. The High setting lacks this feature altogether. It’s also not that the illuminator is overpowered, it’s actually perfect. It’s that the aiming laser is too weak in this setting. I’m sure the DA model is the bees knees. One day maybe View Quote Yeah, like I said, the one thing the MAWL-C1+ lacks in comparison to the MAWL-DA is a true high power IR pointer. FWIW, I’ve never had a problem picking up the aiming laser when using the long range IR illum, but I’ll also be honest, the C1+ I use mostly lives on a 6.75” 300BLK MCX and prefer to use a DA on 5.56 guns, so to be fair, I’m not necessarily using the long range IR as much with the C1+, if anything, if I’m kicking it into long range, it’s to access the IR aiming laser-only using the B button. That being said, as I mentioned earlier—if you’re not willing or able to buy on the gray market, the MAWL-C1+ IMHO is really in its own class, in terms of both performance AND price. Doesn’t mean I hate other LAMs or think they’re worthless, but my opinion stands if you can afford it, MAWL is the way to go. ~Augee |

While far from the same class, there are the pistol illuminator/laser combinations out there. As someone else pointed out, most hunting is done under 100 yards. This is carbine range.
I need to play with the idea a bit more, but I have had fun with a pistol combo unit on a crossbow (used the streamlight flavor of this). At the same range, the lack of an illuminator made the OTAL on a carbine less than enjoyable to use - but both were pig slayers. I intend to play with the idea more this spring, as I have a couple extra mounts so I can move it from the crossbow, to a suppressed lever action, 300lbk, and a few large bores. Given outputs are limited on the civi side of things, I have to wonder if the new surefire pistol combo unit might be a decent low power rival to the dbal and atpal. I don’t think it will rival the MAWL, but at MAWL pricing and availability - I don’t see getting many of them. Honestly, the MAWL does hit it out of the park on many points - but one thing I wish others would do is the offset mount. Being able to mount to a top rail but keeping it out of the scope’s way is very convenient - and a lot more fun than playing with 45 degree offset mounts, especially since U/D & L/R are all screwed up once you do that. |
