take it for what it's worth, but the last gun mag I perused had a taclight ad from surefire that showed a shot handheld model. Story said rookie got shot with the light doing a traffic stop, but was able to return fire and eliminate the threat, albeit slightly later than would have been preferred.

this HK UTL works for me. Takes "military issue" pressure switches since Insight technology built it. Bright enough, dealt with what I've tossed at it, and it swaps to the wife's compact if need be.
