I just acquired a Pelican M3 3379. Is it the same light as the 3370 discussed in this topic, a similar model, or an update?
I acquired it to replace the old TacStar weapons light I have mounted on an AR, and although I don't have it mounted yet, it's an impressive light. It seems very rugged, the output is impressive (especially compared to any 6V light), and I think it will serve my needs well when I get a remote tapeswitch for it.
For $35, it seemed like a real bargain. My only comparison would be to the Pentagon X3 I have on another gun, which was substantially more expensive, or a similar Surefire 9V, which would be more expensive still. I assumed (D'OH!) the $35 was some kind of clearance price since I couldn't find much information about the 3379, but from reading this topic, it sound like I paid MSRP or close to it.
How can it be so much less expensive than Pentagon or Surefire? Is it a crappy light, or just one of those rare bargains in life?
Thanks!
