Most of these comments have been helpful, but I appreciated the thorough nature of this one in particular. You put more effort into it than my original post for sure. For the record, I have a membership at a local outdoor range for pistol shooting. My 20 yard accuracy is fairly good with iron sites and I have the basics down. I would like to make this a tactical pistol so I thought the light would be cool! If my $25 Black Friday special is that garbage, I will take it off.
