Yes, Olight is doing a flash sale on the 8th. They have the PL-2 handgun light and the Warrior X Pro on discount. The Warrior is designed to be a rifle light as well as handheld with a mount and optional tape switch. I've been thinking about a warrior for quite a while and finally ordered one a few hours ago. In specs it rivals or beats the super expensive Modlites and such so I'm interested to see how it does. Getting $30 off plus 3 free lights doesn't hurt either.

The Warrior X has become my wife's favorite light. She likes how far it throws the light.

This warrior x pro is insanely bright. I haven't lasered distances in the field yet, but their claim of 600m throw seems very realistic.

I traded the P30sk for a new/unfired Glock 19X. I kept the Olight PL-Mini 2 Valkyrie of course and put it on the 19X for grins. Would have thought it would be too short or not throw the light well enough but I was pleasantly surprised. It did great. I'll have to snap a pic and toss it up. Looks tiny on the 19X but not 'that' tiny and it seems to work great.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot weather this storm". The warrior replies, "I am the storm".

Either one of those should serve very well in the nightstand role.

I just swapped my PRO for the Odin. The mount is limiting with my thorntail rail. It stuck out way too much if in the flat slot. On the end slot it just barely clears the top pic rail. I'll run it in a low light match to test it and make a decision.

Nice choice. I've changed to the bigger lights, but the mini is a great unit.

I don't think of it as Min - more so it was cheap!

Might get one with a Laser for my Carry if it fits.
