Is a NCSTAR weapon light worth a crap?
Like $20? |

What about Fenix? I ordered a TK11-R2 a couple of days ago. A package arrived from Fenix yesterday, but instead of the light I ordered, it had a TK10. I won't bad mouth them until after they respond to my email, but they don't seem too organized so far. |

Thats whats on my shotgun but this is for my glock mounted lights on handguns are over rated. they have their uses, but i would advise getting a good handheld and practicing with it. especially on a limited budget. I like pistol lights. but I like good quality pistol lights. don't stake your life on junk. |

I highly doubt it. Go spend a $100 or so more and get a TLR1 the TLR-1 is hard to beat for the $ I just got that model a few weeks ago and I am very pleased. It's my first pistol light, had always used a handheld before. Well worth $ in my opinion. I've spent wasted plenty of $ over the years on cheaper gear and almost always was disappointed. |

They work well on rifles in a pinch also.

They shipped me the TK11-R2 and I'm beyond pleased with it. The TK10 was a great light too... almost a better choice for a weapon light since its dimpled mirror gave a ring of semi-intense light around the intense central spot. |

a surefire G2 is what $30-40? + a mount, just about any 1" ring that will fit a picatinny will work in a pinch. I have a 6P LED Defender on my shotgun this way. Works awesome! 
The click on/off tail cap helps unless your using the funky setups that put it right near your thumb with a foregrip. |

I've got a couple of surefires, but would love to see a Fenix with a mount and pressure switch Here's my TK11 with a black spacer ring on my AR. The mount is an old Walmart 1" scope ring. I have the pressure switch for it, but it's easier for me to just hit the button with the joint of my middle finger.

IIRC, I might have bought it from Botach but I don't recommend buying anything from those idiots. I am sure an Streamlight dealer can hook you up. |
