As far as I know, they are both made by Insight in license from Blackhawk. They should be identical.

The Gladius is not, and has never has been made by Insight. Insight was licensed from Blackhawk to make a Gladius clone.

Not true. From Ken J. Good himself: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/posts/2069515&postcount=9.

Pretty clear to me. Insight does and has always made the Gladius, after the light has been designed and developed by Blackhawk/Night-Ops. They're now allowed/licensed to sell the same light under their own brand name. But the production was always Insight.

I have 2 of each. I am sure it is luck of the draw but the Insight lights both have a better tint and the fit and finish was better with my Insight lights.
