   I’m impressed. With my firearms, I usually have upper end EDCs and platform lights. The whole purpose behind having and EDC is safety, so you shouldn’t skimp on safety or quality when it comes to your loved ones lives’. Living in Alaska were on the menu and 1/2 the year is dark, so having a good light on your EDC is a must. I have purchased Streamlights, Torch, Surfire… and none are as impressive as this little Olight. I’ve put it through the vigors of dealing with Alaska’s extremes, now it’s my go to light and go to gift for friends and family.
   Pros
   – Cost – I can get 3-4 for the price of one Surefire or Streamlight
   – Even though I do not have a lumen tester, it puts out as much light as my Surfire and Streamlights that have comparable lumens
   — A lot of people will tell you to get the most powerful light you can, but in snow and indoors you do not want a zillion lumens. You will be blinded by the light shinning back at you from the white walls/snow. Best to keep an all purpose platform light under 700 lumen or you risk blinding yourself as well
   – Tough – This little guy can take a beating!!!
   – No negative impacts from water so far (We average 13++ feet of rain a year)
   – Size – 1/2 or less the size of my equivalent Surfire/Streamlights
   – Weight – nothing compared to equivalent Surfire/Streamlights
   — Not having battery doors, and multiple batteries, cuts way down on the weight
   – Ease of install
   — Much easier to install than Surfire, a little easier than Streamlight TLRs
   — Extremely quick and easy to remove/install
   – 1/2 the size/weight of competitors, making it much easier for concealment
   – Rechargable!!!!
   — No more batteries or worry about how good a battery is. I swear I’ve tossed dozens of good batteries just for comfort
   — I have the charger on my bedside table and she’s getting the juice as I sleep if she needs it
   — Doesn’t overcharge – only charges if the light need juice!
   — Charger light isn’t too bright so you can sleep with it near face, and it also give you a great reference where the weapon is in the dark for a quick grab
   – Really good holster selection – This is my worst challenge. Living on an Island in Alaska, I cant just run down and try out holsters. Amazon is our cheapest shipping, and I found a lot of holsters for my FNX, Ruger 5&7; whereas for my Surfires and Streamlights there are few if any options on Amazon
   – Doesn’t protrude past barrel as other brands. Even with my Hellcat, this thing doesn’t pass the barrel, making it extremely concealable, whereas the competitors are much much much longer!
   – Most impressive/important to me is that the extreme cold doesn’t impact it’s batteries as with my other lights
   Cons
   – Wish it had strobe function
   – Switch fingers could be a little longer
   Hands down this is the best pistol light in my opinion. My Streamlights and Surfires are gathering dust!

   I own three of these olights and love them. They will fit a wide variety of pistols as the light housing slides back and forth on a track and locks down securely when you get the fit you like. This is an extremely high quality and affordable light that has a rechargeable feature and magnetic charger which is intuitive.

   This Olight pl-mini 2 fits perfectly flush on a Glock 17. It fits on a Glock 34 nicely, set back from the front of barrel but not too much.

   The Olight pl-mini 2 snaps on in one second as advertised and locks into place perfectly.

   I put 250 rounds through my Glock 34 with the Olight pl-mini 2 mounted and it held up. It’s compact, sturdy and nothing has come loose so far.

   Brightness: Awesome. The 600 lumen Olight pl-mini 2 outperforms my 1750 lumen Olight warrior mini 3. The Olight pl-mini 2 is brighter and has a better beam.

   Battery life: Pretty good. If you’re using this light for training it has PLENTY of battery life. If you’re using this light for like an hour straight (which I did during dry firing) it’ll run out of batteries.

   Recharging: The best. It’s the same as your handheld Olight. The Olight pl-mini 2 has a magnet which finds the recharger. The recharger connects to your USB plugs and has a light to indicate the state of the charge.

   The Olight pl-mini 2 has a different magnet which doesn’t magnetize to the Olight warrior mini 3’s charger. You need to charge the two lights separately on their designated chargers.

   If you use your weapon light during training I highly recommend this light. And if you own a Glock 17 this light will fit your gun perfectly.

   Received this “olight mini weapon light” on time. After unboxing the light it seamed to be well made and sturdy. The magnetic charging cable was pretty cool. After charging, i switched it on and wow what a very bright light. Easy on / off switch, great location. Great purchase.

   Easy to use, super bright. Can have it as momentarily or can have it stay on. No cycle change. Pick on the fly. Battery has lasted a while. Great buy! Great quality as expected!

   I bought two of these because they were recommended as one of the only ones to fit a compact handgun. Love the magnetic charger, very cool and makes it convenient. I have not verified battery life yet. It mounted it very easily and snug on a Staccato CS 9MM. I was hopeful for the same on my Hellcat but the the mounting template was just slightly thick and wouldn’t seat properly. I had to do some minor grinding of that piece so that it fits flush. It was slightly high and too thick. The piece is exceptionally small so you have to be careful but with a small amount of work, it is now seated. That is completely transparent to the visual appearance once mounted.

   The light is super bright and the laser is super sharp. I like the combo option as well. The ability to dismount it without uninstalling to charge is really nice and it’s rechargeable. I have it on M&P 2.0 sits nice and flush to the trigger guard. Not heavy at all! The only negative I’ve seen it’s a little difficult to find a holster premade for it to fit the light. In all fairness I haven’t looked hard yet.
