Received My X300-like Device

[NETim]

The long awaited package from China arrived today.  It contained a light that looks a lot like a famous brand weapon light.  

 

Okay, no momentary position on the switch, but the light is bright, which is critical for CO needs.  Ahem.

 

The light would not snap on to M&P's rail and lock as received.   The trigger guard interfered with the light.   So, being a graduate of JimBob's Internet School of Dremelology, I hit the light with the Dremel fitted with a sanding drum.   (This is where a $30 light gives much piece of mind during this delicate procedure.)  I removed some material from the battery cover on the rear of the light with the precision that only a Dremel can provide.  

 

After a few minutes of that plus a little work with a sanding stick, I got the light to lock onto the rail.   

 

I haven't fired it yet, but I'm confident the light will stand up to the high speed requirements that a C Class shooter demands.

Weight?

Brand?

Source?

 Thanks

I understand the lure of saving $$, but rewarding them for theft is not good.  Screw China and their scumbag business practices.

What happens when the light’s internals fail and it no longer works? Would it then be considered a frame weight and bump you into open?

This is simply an experiment to see if a light is warranted and/or useful for this game.  

 

I have several really good Surefire handhelds for use outside of the gaming arena where reliability is far more crucial.

Yep as long as it does not create a safety issue then for someone competing for fun / rec it's only a game.   Not sure how they would handle a WML that was functional at the start of a course of fire and failed during.  Got figure at some point someone's light has had to go out at a match during a course of fire.  I would think you would have to remove it before the next stage if you were not put into open but not sure.
