What features make it stand out from the rest? Let’s find out.

 

Features

In terms of features, this particular model has made it a point to offer something at par with what is already out in the market. Some of these features are listed below:

→ 2-in-1 tactical CREE Q5 LED flashlight and laser light;

→ Integrated clamp-on mounting deck;

√ Ambi-push button switch, along with two pressure switches;

Cons

There will always be disadvantages, though, and this specific model is not an exemption. Most of the complaints raised have been related to customer service or shipping dilemmas, although there have also been some negative feedback related to performance, some of which are highlighted below:

χ Poor reaction to recoil due to non-sturdy support;

χ Questionable flashlight durability in relation to actual shots fired, still recoil related;

χ Laser failing to work after just a few days of use.

 

Conclusion

In summation, you might be able to find another viable alternative which may be a bit more costly but could withstand recoil related pressures which should be of primary consideration for products like this. Not to mention how a handgun or a pistol would not really pack in that much pressure. However, the UTG 2-in-1 Tactical LED Flashlight with Red Laser is still worth considering thanks to its rather affordable price tag. If you’re looking for an affordable tactical LED flashlight, this one is a good choice.
