Just curious if anyone knows of a quality light that would mount to a pistol that isn't crazy expensive. I'd prefer it to be as small as possible. Streamlight makes some nice ones but I'm not willing too spend that much on it right now.
I'd be interested in making my own if possible. Has...
The old 2 AA maglights. I went through quite a few of them, which is why I ended up looking for something better. Eventually I purchased a jetbeam PA10. Lasted about 2 years which in my opinion was great for that light. Probably would have lasted longer if it didn't fall off a scissor lift. haha.
That light acts very goofy when its dirty. You said you cleaned it but I would go over it again. All points of contact. I tend to use a brass wire wheel for the threads. I also clean up the ends of my batteries. If possible avoid jetbeams warranty. Used it once. Never again.
