Hi. This is Joel Persinger. I'm the GunGuy.

today I've got a weapon mounted light
for you i don't i'm gonna just confess
to you right now I'm not worked with
weapons mounted lights very much so this
is kind of a new thing for me i know
there's an old thing but you know I'm an
old guy and I i really have never messed
with him very much I've always had
handheld lights but OpticsPlanet was
kind enough to send me this is a
streamlight tlr-2 for weapons light
laser combination and it mounts on the
on the rail underneath your pistol
I've mounted it up and I played with a
little bit took it up to the rainbow
range and shot it a little bit met a guy
up there while I was at it and we had a
great time i'm going to talk about him
and it just a second but before I do I
want to do a shout-out to some folks

streamlight weapons light and laser
combo
so I'm at the range and where you know
we did some shooting with the guy that
with the the Garrow 17 HMR I posted that
you already and we went for the pistol
range we're going to really kind of ring
this out for the first time I shot a lot
sense or shot with a lot of sense and
while i'm there i walked up to me and
says hey i watch your channel we had a
nice conversation his name is Trevor and
I you know we just hit it off
immediately I want to urge you to do
that if you haven't seen me in a public
place
come on up and say hi please I doesn't
matter what i'm doing i want you to do
that just understand that I'm not a
movie star rock star or politicians
final i could you can catch me off guard
and I'm a little awkward so if you're
feeling awkward I'll be feeling awkward
awkward because it will work out just
fine but you let me get past the awkward
part it's weird it's new to me and it
and but please do that he did that and I
was like well do you want to be in the
video and he said sure so he was trained
with these at all not at all not at all
so you and I are both complete newbies
alright so this is what you call this is
what you call the blind leading the ok
we're going to do our best with it see
how it works obviously it's not twilight
because it's an outdoor range i'm going
to take a range and play and play with
the light a little bit but we're going
to mess with now is figure out can we
actually see the laser on the target at
this distance so little bit and then
we'll get your camera angle on that to
see whether you can see the laser and i
will let you know it works well for us
because one of the concerns people have
with later sometimes is you know I can't
see it during the day I'm going to be
completely real and I'll be completely
review if I can see my site I don't care
if i can see the laser can see the bad
guy and I get to the site that said
there are some quirky positions you
might end up like laying down you know
shooting under your car something that
somebody banging away at you don't you
can't get your ID behind the sights and
that where you want to see it during the
day this is a red line they do come in
green
my understanding is people can see them
better ingredients i don't know i think
for me I can't see anything right away
do you have a preference
I don't I won't tell you how colorblind
or red-green colorblind great are you
really okay that was hilarious because
they're not gonna it's not gonna show up
at all right let that sucker out let's
go to let's see let's see what happens
alright no more grind shots dude that's
below the belt literally guys now he's
got to say
alright here we go you ready
oh you gotta walk out that was an
eyeball shot on level
all right to the right but you got you
guys all right my turn
ok now it's my turn to embarrass myself
and I know you can't see the target but
will show you afterwards for my hips
were and when you hear him laughing
definitely this cackle behind me so
you're going to know what happened my
shooting ok deal right you're going to
go go
and if you'll head we're going to do
that I'm going to shoot one around the
head if I keep doing what you're in
charge not me right
ok do it with laser-like nope nope nope
no head
nope there you go
finally with my lab God line shot all
right he's dead ok so the question is
there staring at the target
I i think that the Blazer was a lot
different restriction adjusting a lot of
it a lot of adjustment I don't have any
experience shooting with the laser and
it's definitely different backup you
know truthfully achieved a couple times
to get the headshots I had to force
myself to try to definitely use the
laser isn't what you're telling me is I
was the correct answer honestly I don't
know what happened
I don't know how to say what I'm gonna
blame those areas shotgun that was later
gotta do I gotta do that either and i
like it i mean i think in a little
really low light I mean like you can see
it pretty clearly there i think yeah you
know your life situation where you even
with my treasure you know or or maybe
closed means we've got that about what I
don't know what is that 67 yards
yeah I would think so so you know if
you're really fighting for your life
it's probably going too far
so then your groups are going to be
better with the laser but you know i
like it i think in a low-light you know
adrenaline rush kind of situation the
laser could definitely be your friend
there were a few things we discovered
their one when you can clearly sure to
see the target and you really don't need
the laser if you are trained at all
you're naturally looking for the front
side you're just looking for the front
sight looking for the front side looking
for the front side and I discovered when
I went down to defeat you came range
that when it was darker and I could
actually just put the laser on their
focus on the target and then not
actually look for the laser but just
catching in my peripheral vision my
shooting was a lot quicker and a lot
more accurate when Trevor and I were
shooting we were actually having to hunt
for the laser because it was kind of a
bright day we were able to see it but we
have to look for it to get it on target
as opposed to focusing on the threat
like you wouldn't point shooting and
then just catching the laser in our
peripheral vision impressive trigger
started doing that at the pca range
shooting become a lot more accurate and
a lot quicker so I i discovered that
this was working with the laser now as
far as the light is concerned there's a
couple different ways to turn on this
light you can turn it on a momentary
with a momentary switch which if you're
right-handed your left thumb will catch
that switch and you can push it down and
the light will come on if you push it up
and rock it up and the light stays on
consistently and constantly until you
turn back off again but the momentary
on/off is a little rock downward now
what I discovered is with that with that
rock downward if i had the light on a
momentary on which is this little rock
downward right here
perhaps you can see it then
whenever I fired the gun my thumb
obviously came off of that because of
the recoil of the gun and the light went
off so if you want to have it on you
gotta push it up and get it all the way
on if you just have on that momentary on
the minute you press the trigger that
lights going to go away and you have to
realize you're going to have to push it
again with your thumb so that's a little
strange and i think it's a training
issue is learning how to use a weapon
mounted light now as I said at the
beginning of the video this is something
i've never been trained with which is a
weapons mounted light on a handgun it's
not something i've never gotten any
training with the little drill we were
doing was a frontside drill i learned
there but i can tell you i'm going to go
the next class I take i'm going to take
a class one low light and weapons
mounted light so I can learn more about
them because in my day we didn't have
weapons man delights what we had was
handheld light so i have a lot of
training with those and not so much
training with these so if you know a lot
about these and you probably know more
than i do then please go ahead and
comment and educate me because i would
love to know more about how to use this
light effectively i did find out that
there's that laser-light combo works
really well i like the idea that i can
light up with the threats and identify
it before i press the trigger but at the
same time I also have my laser there and
I can catch that in my peripheral vision
while I'm identifying this red so I know
it should hate this is a real threat
press the trigger this is not a real
threat keep my finger off the trigger
and get the weapon off that person this
is this is a good kind of want to shoot
that individual so having the light is
very powerful from that perspective
there are a couple of settings on it on
here there's a little toggle switch in
the back you can run it laser only light
only or light and laser it depends on
where you set up the toggle and the
adjustment for a7 getting things cited
in its really simple there's a little
allen screw that comes with it and
there's an elevation here in a windage
here it's really simple to adjust now
there are a couple of things I
discovered with it right out of the gate
that is I put up
yeah you know i'm a guy didn't have to
read the instructions what is that rule
when all else fails read the
instructions well it all else didn't
fail so I didn't when I put it on I just
turned this little mounting screw here
finger tight now I tighten up pretty
good but I just tighten its finger type
another when I went to go shoot it
I found that after the
after guns going off about 4-5 times it
was wobbling all over the place and even
though i had it cited in it didn't stay
that way and then i just typed it up
against finger tight again put in the
gun rug and we went and had lunch or
whatever went back to shoot some more
and you know what I guess what in the
gun rug because it got knocked around it
was no longer shine it in so it's
important that this gets tightened down
pretty darn tight otherwise it's not
going to stay cited in because you can
see there's a lot of leverage on it when
it gets pushed here or when it gets
pushed here and it's going to move the
darn thing around so you really want to
make sure that it's well tighten down so
that you keep your point of aim wherever
that laser is there are some companies
that make customs holsters for these
I've got one that's offered to make me a
custom holster once i got the light so
I'm going to contact them and let them
know if they're kind of to build me a
holster i'll review that as well
all in all I like the light but i can
tell you that it's going to take some
training on my part to get used to using
a weapon mounted light if you're not
used to it then it's going to take some
practice and i encourage you to go get
some training that's one of the best
things you can do for yourself is go get
yourself trained other than that I i
found it to be a really positive
addition to my pistol
it's an extremely well-made unit I you
know I can't grouse about the way it's
made the only thing i would say that I
wish it did that it doesn't do if i was
going to look at something that I wanted
to be ready for enough for a relatively
untrained person with a weapons mounted
lighter with a laser particularly the
laser is I really look for lasers to be
instinctive in their activation when i
pick up the gun and pointed out with the
laser on I don't want to have to think
about turning the laser on if I have to
think about turning the laser on then
it's probably not going to come on in
the heat of the moment unless I really
really really really really really train
that so that's that's the one concern
for me is I want that thing to be on
when i draw the when i draw the firearm
if it's on
I wanted to come on when it comes out
this is not going to do that you're
going to have to train to turn it on now
for a home defense gun which this is not
this is actually a carry gun of mine but
i do have a Glock that's a home defense
gun i'm probably going to put this on
yeah i hear a rattling
on the other end of the house and we've
got the kids or whoever whoever is in
the house is supposed to be there we've
got him in the safe zone and the doors
closed door on the phone the police and
I've got a handgun now or maybe this
will go to my wife's can I don't know
but we'll go on one of them and I've got
the shotgun we got a handgun out
yeah i'm just going to turn the light
the laser on because going to be pointed
at the door right and then if it comes
through the door and it doesn't have a
badge on it it's going to get shot as
long as it's not a family member and it
doesn't have its not displaying a bad
it's going to get shot so that's a
really great idea there because that way
it's already on the lasers on the lights
on i can identify my target the last
thing i want to do is inadvertently
shoot a good guy i don't want to shoot a
member of my family got to make sure
that I know where they all are
I certainly don't want to shoot a police
officer I my respect him tremendously my
family have a law enforcement history in
my family and a lot of my friends are
law enforcement so I don't want to in
any way risk shooting anybody that
shouldn't be shot and honestly don't
shoot anybody at all but if I do I want
to make sure i know that is so that's
why I light is incredibly positive if
you're looking at something like this
for home defense gun then this is
awesome
if you're looking at it as a carry
option i suggest you get a lot of
training to make sure that you can
actuate that laser and get that thing on
and get that light on when you want it
on and you do it you know habitually
trained it so much it's just automatic
like clicking the safety off on the 1911
it's just something you do the minute
the guns drawn and you don't have to
think about it otherwise you're probably
going to forget about it in the heat of
the moment so it's going to take some
training so great unit i like it a lot
I'm gonna put it on one of my you know
one of my house guns and probably i'm
going to order a couple more because
it's very inexpensive and get it right
at OpticsPlanet that you sent it to me
there is a link to the product in the
description so check them out at
OpticsPlanet when you get a chance and
also if you wouldn't mind that please
join the National Rifle Association a
lot of people are kind of sliding away
from supporting the NRA and supporting
gun grips now because that you know
president Trump is an office well that's
just the beginning
now is the time to go on off and so we
really need your help please join the
nra and help them out you can do it with
the link that in the description there's
also a little pop up here that will help
you get there if you have a gun for home
defense like this one or another
the fuse for home defense for
self-defense you carry a gun like I do
every day you're going to need to legal
assistance as well I strongly advise
second call defense that is the best
backup legal backup tech company that
I've been able to find it so when i use
and it's the one is just what I used to
protect my family and me that's what I'm
recommending to you check them out
