That's the great thing about being able to "try before you buy".

I find that its certainly the largest light I would be comfortable carrying regularly. However, the difference in "carryability" between it and the PT2L is negligible.

Yeah, you forget that I'm shorter and fatter than you... Jeans are tighter, hands aren't as big, not as much room in my pockets. I'm also going from the much smaller E2E.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I'll drop it by work later tonight and you can try it on your days off. Then you'll know for sure.

 

[Mosinowner]

I might go help people though. This weekend.

Ok, thanks!

You really are a drug dealer.

Part that, and part I don't like people spending good money on gear if it doesn't fit their needs. Taking some amount of "risk" to review some gear is interesting to me personally, but so is helping people find what fits best. If my spending some $$ helps someone else save theirs, then I get added value for my money.

Its just that, in some (most) cases, my spending money actually has the opposite effect.

I will be going to the Aimpoint booth at the next gunshow ( For some odd reason they are always in Dallas market hall ) Maybe Trijicon will be there. I will bring my AR to mount them on and test.

Roadie and I think you have a kick back program set up.

The biggest issue I have with your recent comparisons of Aimpoints to ACOGs is that they are apples and oranges-- top-of-the-line apples and oranges actually.

They serve two completely different purposes, for two different shooting styles.

Picking between the two should be as easy as asking "how do I intend to shoot?"

If you want to shoot 0-200 yards then get an Aimpoint, not an ACOG. If you want to shoot 50-600+ yards then get an ACOG.

 

[Rayne]

I climbed the same ladder about 200 times today. My back is NOT happy about it.

Man you should have buns of steel after that workout.

What did I miss? I had to duck and cover all day for tornados, and I hear I have a older brother.

What older brother?

It would be freaking awesome if that was the case.

 

[! twitty]

So Evan, I want a new light around $40. Is the PT1L and PT2L the best options? Which is better of the two?
