I’m getting deployed to Kosovo in a few months and still have a couple things I need to buy. One of the main things I want to pick is a good flashlight. Since I haven’t bought one before, I’m just looking for advice from someone who has used it so hopefully you can help me out.
The only flashlight I have right now is a mini mag light (2 AA type), which is ok but I want something more powerful. I have always heard about Surefire lights, but don’t know anything about their models, or other manufacturers that make similar lights.
What I want is a do it all light similar in size to a mini mag light, that can be always on, or turned on by a thumb button. If possible I would also like it to be able to mount it to a m16, with an instant on pressure switch (is that what they’re called) so it can be used clearing rooms. From looking at the Surefire website I don’t know if they make one that can be hand held and weapon mounted so any info would be great. Any other manufacturers info would be great too.
