Streamlight spoon light or what?

[MotoSook]

Looking to buy a light for a spoon. Streamlight seems to be a household name...what else is out there that's good?

Midway has a TLR-1 for $95. Good?

Depends on the spoon and how you're mounting the light. I bought a Surefire G2 LED (around $52) and some cheapo pressure switch for my under-the-bed shotgun. I use a hair rubber band to hold the pressure switch to the foregrip.

TLR-1? i assume a handgun. i like that one. i just recently got a streamlight flashlight. it is tiny and runs on one CR123 battery. brutally bright! the TLR uses two. this tells me there must be a smaller spoon mounted one out there.

I have the plastic Surefire on my shotgun also. There are a bunch of decent lights on the market now some of which do not use the stupid little cr123 batteries.

PS Souk. As you may already know, Midway is usually a rip-off. They will screw you big time on inflated shipping prices.... especially when it comes to haz fees on primers/powder etc. I ABSOLUTELY refuse to ever puchase from them again. There are plenty of decent internet spoon suppliers that have better pricing and shipping rates compared to Midway.

Actually, Tim, I just bought a CZ P01 Phantom from Buds. They had the best price I could find because of a "summer clearance.". I will see if they have a TLR1 instock for this pistol.

For cheap light - I bought a Coleman light that uses two CR123 batteries for $24 and then bought a rail mount for it. Works well for the price on long guns. But I need on that works on the new Phantom.
