Keep it civil.

Look, this isn't a life and death decision. I just want a very compact light for hiking and plinking in the dark. If real shit goes down, I'll always have a good pistol.

Be nice if the spectrum wasn't dull yellow or bright blue, but I'd take blue over yellow or green. Don't give a crap about a laser, I'll never use it. Rechargeable would be nice, but rechargeable plus the ability to swap lithium batteries would be a major bonus.

I'm broke. Got anything in the sub $30 range? Tons of lights out there.

Tractor Supply has cheap AF lights you can get if you find a mount for it

Was curious so I checked harbor frieght and HF has a cheap rail mount light with great reviews

No idea what kind of rails or mounting options their gun has though ๐Ÿคท

Most full-size and compact Picatinny railed firearms, including GLOCK-style, BERETTA 90-TWO, SMITH & WESSON 99, and SMITH & WESSON TSW

I mean $50 is a cheap price to try it

FWIW it's a straight Streamlight TLR-1 clone, so it probably uses the same kind of adapter style.

PSR did an informal torture test and it held up.
