Reddit mentions of Aimkon HiLight P10S 500 Lumen Pistol LED Strobe Flashlight with Weaver Quick Release for Glock Series, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Beretta, Ruger, and Heckler & Koch, etc.

This is a boxing and review of this $35 weapons light I got off Amazon. It was highly rated there and I wanted to share an unboxing and initial impressions. Below is a copy/paste of the Imgur comments from top-down. I have no affiliation with the seller; here is the link. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036S5W42/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Before I start, I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars because the on/off switch is too easily tripped and protrudes a fair bit. I understand this simple mechanism is probably to keep costs down which is appreciated. For a nightstand pistol-light, it will serve it's purpose well. I have no doubt as of the moment it wouldn't perform. For a concealed carry light, I'd recommend a hard cover to prevent the on switch from being engaged by mistake. For the price-point, it exceeds expectations. I probably will buy another for my Sig if this holds up well, which I expect it will. Rated at 500 lumens for 40 minutes of on time.

Per/u/jakesgunreviews, "Tell them to buy a TLR-1 when it goes on sale for $70.00."

Below is the transcript from the imgur descriptions.

S&W SD9 cleared and the HL-P10S model weapons light.

Box lid snapped out nicely. Flashlight comes in cutout with chinese CR123A Lithium battery, installation leaflet, Silica gel, and plea for reviews on Amazon. It feels very light. Must be aluminum.

Turned on and off by a simple drifting bar with finger tabs. Moves pretty freely with slight resistance. I can see this being a potential snag if drawing from concealed carry.

Fuck this is bright. I'm directly under my kitchen light on a cloudy day and this is triggering a migraine.

Retention lever gives significantly more resistance than the on switch. Pretty difficult to hold down with index finger.

Maybe an inch further than my barrel. Weight is hardly noticeable. The on switch is hit by using your right index finger to push it to the left; perfect for right handed shooters. I did accidentally bump it on while sitting it on the table which is concerning. It isn't 100% solid to my rail; it has a slight wobble but not enough to give the impression that it would fall off.


Dark room test. You could read a book just from standing behind it. Strobe feature is disorienting AF and activated by turning it off then back on quickly.

Will be needing another holster to concealed carry with it. This Telor Tactical neoprene holster is stretching out hard and the trigger well is partially exposed.

Another note about it with this and other soft hosters, it can be bumped on while carrying very easily IWB. It is bright enough to notice from inside jeans and would make an awkward situation to brandish to turn it back off. It comes off easily enough so if I have to carry it'll be without until I find a kydex holster holster to protect it.

did you even google my friend

I'll probably catch some hate, but I got the HiLight P10S on Amazon. 1,000 rounds+ with it on and zero issues so far.

The control sticks out pretty far so I would not recommend it if you ever intend to carry the gun.

Not commonly, cheap people just use generic holsters. This one might be a better option for holsters. The Nebo has some bigger knobs on the rail mechanism that stick out on the sides.

I carry a Glock 17 in an Old Faithful IWB holster at ~ 4 o'clock.

Sometimes, I'll carry the Glock 17 in a Kangaroo carry holster over my left pectoral depending on if I need to do a lot of bending/squatting in public and want to prevent printing or my shirt riding up (Doing photography at a wedding for example).

I also keep a spare mag loose in my back pocket and a rail light in my cargo pocket (can't afford a new holster to accomodate the light for now).

I mean I just threw it on there cause I had it. No offense taken. This is the pistol light I have. Nothing special but it works for me https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0036S5W42/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1519412693&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=pistol+light&dpPl=1&dpID=41HExaIizZL&ref=plSrch

It's not a TLR-1 clone because the TLR-1 is already in that mid-level price range between Chinese CREE lights and Surefire. This is essentially a mid-quality CREE light, as will be most other decent quality tactical lights between $30-60.

This is the one I purchased a month ago. Same idea as the one in your link. Very easy to take on and off, and no wiggle. Very bright too. I had my girlfriend point the light at me across our house and it was near blinding at night.

I want a TLR light it's just the price right now. I have a small LED I keep with my 19 but I want a light on it. Just after the 19, sights, safe, rounds, CWP costs, etc I am about $1k into it.

I would like to find a cool kith that wasn't $200-$300 and decent as a temporary until I invest $200-300 into a TLR with light and laser.

Considering the Amazon reviews I might get this : Hilight 300 Lumen Pistol LED Strobe Flashlight with Weaver Quick Release https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036S5W42/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_eAZfub0FMDS9S

With the exception of people calling you a "mall ninja", I haven't had any issues with this light for $30. I will say that the activation switch is kinda annoyingly easy to activate, so if you put it in a bag either remove the battery or use a qtip to lock it from activation.

This is a 300-400 lumen light, and I'm willing to believe it since it will light up a room from pitch black. It stays in place on the standard Glock full size rails atleast. I had a better picture of it on the G17, but this will have to suffice.

Edit: To clarify, I'm currently happy not adding a $200+ light on my gun, but I would recommend a Streamlight or something similar if it is in your budget. I wouldn't exactly rely on my current light for long term.

Yes it is, just not a rail like on a rifle, it's a weaver rail: https://www.amazon.com/Aimkon-HiLight-P10S-Flashlight-Release/dp/B0036S5W42/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468617300&sr=8-2&keywords=pistol+light This light would fit it, look for something similar
