Weaponlight

I thinking about getting a weaponlight.

I have been looking at the Insight M6 Tactical Laser Illuminator.

Has anyone tried this one? How good do you see the laser dot? How is the light in general?

I wouldn't personally feel the need for a weapon mounted light. I prefer a hand held on every occasion. Excluding one mounted on a long gun.

Ditch the laser, and spend the extra money for a newer/better light. With that said, the M3 is my current favorite, even over some of the newer and brighter models.

I have the M6 and also the M3. Love them both. Easy to use, excellent user options, durable, and indispensable. I love the light/laser feature. Switch is reachable and remote pads are available. The CR123 batteries are readily available. Laser is red dot and white light is very bright. It's a night time S.O.P for me.

If you decide to try something without a laser, consider the Insight XTI Procyon. After seeing a description of the effects of a strobe on the objective person, but not the user, I bought one. A shooting demonstration is available at http://pistol-training.com/wp-conten...clg-rogers.mov.

I'm sold on it. That should go on every home defense pistol.

They are junk. The laser (mount) does not retain or repeat zero. The light is really outdated technology as well.

SL never intended for the the M3/M6 to be used heavily (meaning shot with them on the weapon).

Is there anything available for long guns similar to that XTI strobe light?

Typically, I hate posts like the one I'm about to make, but here it goes;

My M3 has been through at least 5 SWAT schools, countless training days in all probably more than 10K shots being fired mounted to a G22 or Sig 220... its riding on my Sig right now and works fine.

It is a little dated though...
