I love this thing!
It was pretty much the only light worth buying that fits the Walther P99C. And the fact its got a laser as well is just awesome. I bought it for that reason. Obviously its not comparable to a full size light in any way. Ive got Streamlight TLR-1 HL on all my full size guns. And that is overpoweringly blinding. The Viridian C5L-R is only 200 Lumens compared to the 800 of a full size pistol light. HOWEVER, those 200 lumens are very well distributed. instead of just throwing them out everywhere, maximum dispersion, Viridian has a lens and reflector that aim the light in a wide rectangle type shape. giving you a nice wide field of illumination but without wasting light throwing up into the sky it still gives you more than enough light to watch where youre walking in complete darkness without having to turn the gun towards the ground also. Best possible light setup for the size. AMAZING engineering went into this. its also bright enough to have decent blinding ability. The laser is incredibly easy to sight in. and is fantastic. its mounted up as high on the light as possible to get it as close to the bore axis as possible which gives it fantastic accuracy over a wide range of distances. from 0-30 yards its more than accurate enough to get the job done without having to look down the sights. fantastic product. and for the price, i highly recommend this if you cannot fit a full size light on your weapon. however if you can fit a full size light. id suggest going that route instead simply because this a compromise due to its size. but for its size, which is a need on subcompact pistols, its the best one u can get.
