Streamlight MicroStream vs SureFire Stiletto

“Flashlight enthusiast and tactical operator operating operationally are completely different user sets with completely different use criteria. If you want a light that you can mount to a primary or secondary weapon that will withstand recoil, extreme temps, being dropped, banged, covered in dust and dirt, smashed and submerged repeatedly and never fail, then Surefire, Elzetta, Cloud, and Streamlight are the best choices. CRI and runtime are not part of the performance criteria. Other brands may work as weapon/tactical lights temporarily, but they will not withstand the working conditions long term.”

“Started college, and needed a small pen sized light to read in the study hall in the dorm. Scrounged up every penny I had back then to buy my first good light, a Streamlight Microstream. That was right at the turn of the millennium. The rest is history. https://preview.redd.it/2ychgut1z6wd1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ebdb28f40c267b52890274965ac0ea40e82bf90”
