M6X illuminator

I bought this one from Huang, as it was 7$ cheaper than Velocityarms... Shouldn't have : no batteries included . Now on to the review...

This is not a pistol light, more of a rifle light unless your rail is as long as a 5.1 Hi-capa like the WE Hi-Capa 5.1M. Can be used with a KJW 1911 MEU, but it's not fastened correctly to the rail. If you want to use it with a 4.3, you'll need to dremel a new notch on the frame.

The tapeswitch is really weak. The stock one tored open in no time as I was taking it on and off (I was trying the light on my 1911, 4.3 and M4)

Laser CANNOT be turned off, even if the laser selector is at OFF. As soon as the light turns on, so do the laser. Consider this if your local rules prohibits the use of laser devices.

Light will turn on as soon as you press the tapeswitch, even if the LIGHT selector is in the OFF position. Without the tapeswitch, light and laser light up in the LIGHT ON position, regardless of the laser selector switch.

Lightning is strong, I have a hard time looking directly into it at about two meters. Haven't tried it in game yet, will update after this sunday. Both websites write that the light is focusable : it isn't. If it is, then someone explain me how , as I can't seem to do it by twisting the light cover

No batteries included on airsoftdepot.ca, batteries included on Velocity arms.

3 stars out 5, because eh, the light work out alright!!
