I have been using onof Five Megas streamlight stinger adapters and ca1399 bulb for the last few months. I am really impressed with it's output and even throw. It's beam has a tight spot that has small wings, almost like a rifle scope, that run horizontal. Not big like I have seen on some lights but they are there.
The other night I got a domestic in progress call. When I get there, alone, (no backer available do to manpower shortages) the wife says her husband is hiding in the house.
She has a protective order to remove him from the house and he has been assaulting her, but not tonight. The house is a nightmare. It is in a low socio-economic area.Most of the rooms dont have doors on them but instead have quilts hanging over them. I cleared the house the first time but she swore he was still in there. I went back through and found a closet that I had missed (It had a blanket over it and I assumed, wrongly that it was a wall be hind it).
I have my five mega stinger in my hand and open the door. Standing inside is the huband. His body is bladed so I can not see his left side, he has something in his hand. The little stinger had him grimicing and looking away. Of course
the stinger was instantly joined by the streamlight m6 mounted on my Glock. I ordered him to let me see his hands
repetedly. He was trying to get his eyes to focus, but would not show me his hands. I finally told him he was about to get a large hols in his chest if he did not let me see his hands so he dropped what he had and showed me his hands. I got him outside. He was whining about how he couldnt see (most wife abusers are whiners in my opinion).
I notice the guy has a prosthetic leg. I get him secured and go back to look into the closet to see what he had in his hand. He had been holding his other leg. I asked him if
he was going to try to hit me with it and he would not anwser and was still whining about being blinded, how he was not doing anything, so forth. I am quite sure his plan was to hit me with that metal leg to get away, as his wife said he had ran from the police numerous times and has been violent. He never got a chance this day though. A pitchblack
closet to 350 lumens straight in the eye, never gave him a chance. No that I think about it, I guess he was trying to give me the boot instead of me booting him out of his house.
