Flashlight itself-awesome it will throw a beam for a good half a city block that you can easily distinguish details of whatever you're illuminating. The light is a bit larger than most belt carry lights which may cause a problem on smaller people. It is about 1" longer than the standard stinger.
I love the dual switching capability, even though the tailcap switch
is not very usable for a tactical shooting situation due to the size and front end weight of the light. The front is a bit top heavy for a syringe style grip. Mostly the tailcap switch helps with comfort depending on how you hold the light and what you're trying to look at. Plus if one switch goes bad you have the other. The switches work together, so you can turn it on with on and off with the other.
It is light weight and I love that. It's way easier on the back than the old 4D m*glight. Coming for a 4 D cell mag dropin led this thing is spectular. It's worth every penny to carry this light on my belt rather than reaching for the mag everytime I get out of my car. Don't get me wrong though the mag still sits in the car for several reasons.
I'm a big fan of the polymer body since it gets very cold in Northern IL and this light does not freeze my hand when I have to use it.
This light blows away the stingers, strions, mags, and surefire's of the people I work with. Yes, it's larger, by a little, but not too large.
Holster- I got a basketweave holster which is open on both ends. The holster is duty belt size and is decent quality. Originally I wanted a closed bottom holster because people were talking about the tail button going off inadvertantly, but I have not had any issues with this. For those interested this is the nicest one I was able to find when I was looking
for one: http://www.stallionleather.com/prod...d=283&osCsid=a187a03331a80c41519f8ac92ee23882

Pelican's customer service is also outstanding. My light did not come with a holster, but I called them and they put one in the mail same day. I also spoke with a person right when I called, no waiting, and fumbling through automatic menus. It was excellent.
Overall I think this is a fantastic law enforcement light. On one charge it lasted me five 10 hour days (I work 1600-0200). I put it on the charger and it was ready in about 1 hour (takes about 4-5 for full charge). With pelican's service and warranty, this thing is a winner!
