Reaper,

I tested the 900A for my former unit and I was not that impressed. Sure Fire built that light to fill a SOF requirement for that capability.

The 900 was a large light, but it had several nice features. It is 9V so it is rather bright. Brighter than my light. The LED lights (navigation lights if you talk to a SEAL, breacher's light if you talk to an Army SOF guy) are a nice feature as well.

I did not like the size. The light took up a lot of rail space and interfered with prone sling supported fire. The housing was plastic and I snapped off the grip while muzzle striking. The tape switch embedded in the grip is right where I like my laser switch. I also considered it very sensitive and AD'd the light often while evaluating it.

In the end I did not care for the light as much as this arms room manufactued mount that I run. Its not a bad light though. I wish that the construction was more durable.

Sorry for the slow response.
