Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I work in the firearms industry and am a avid competition shooter. I purchased the LD10 as my every day carry flashlight. I don't think the size and brightness can be beat. I wanted a small light with a pocket clip that could be worn pointed downwards. That way when drawn it is oriented correctly in my hand. Lots of things to like about the light but here are my two concerns regarding it's use as a tactical light and really they are both from the same issue.
When you depress the tail cap button the light locks to the on mode (beam of light), pressing the tail cap button again turns it off, pressing it a 3rd time puts it in strobe, pressing it a 4th time turns in off. Recently at a low light/no light handgun match this is what I experienced. I have many hours of muscle memory training where I pulse the light only when needed to shoot or search a room. I do not leave the light constant on as that would be a tactical mistake letting every bad guy in range know exactly where I was and what I was looking at. By pulsing the light it is very disorienting to any threats trying to track me. So the issue is using my flashlight technique I was not pulsing the light. What I was doing is turing it on, then turning it off, then putting it on strobe, etc. It just did not work for me and I was fighting the light on top of shooting. I still won the match so it was not a huge deal but I really don't feel like re-training my muscle memory on how to use this flashlight. On a related note because the button is not a mometary on when you accidently depress it while it's in your pocket it locks itself to the on or strobe position. Thus you might run down your batteries not knowing it, or at the very least create a bright spot through your pants which can be somewhat embarrassing.
Until I figure this out I am going back to my surefire flashlight.
