Meprolight M21

[kingjason]

I hate screwing with batteries and when the SHTF where will you find them. I did lots and lots of research and decided on this little jewel. After seeing a couple of Aimpoint Patrols come out of zero I said screw it, and well I just like to be different. I was going to Aimpoint Micro it but said F it and bought this one. Hell if I hate it I will Micro next. Going to spend some time at the range tomorrow to abuse it. Oh and a side note the new TLR-1's HL are bad ass. My buddy has a Surefire 300x and has now ordered a TLR for his riffle. Blows my standard TLR-1 out of the water. Yes I get it they need batteries. HA

Tactical Jews everywhere approve!





But they are pretty good sights.

The HL's are awesome lights. Overpowering inside though.

I went through a dark house today on a alarm call. I just put one on my Glock and it was fantastic. I love the reviews where people think you are going to be in a shiny white hall with shiny white floors in the pitch dark and then suddenly blind yourself. Just like the earlier Mepros. Oh lawd you may be in the pitch dark and shoot out into a snow bank and it will barely be visible. Extreme conditions require other solutions. I carry a belt light and my rifle keeps the iron sights.

It'll disorient the hell out of people. I got probie coming up the dark stairs and thought he was going to have a seizure

Yes my Sgt. is very aware of this. Caught him coming around the corner not paying attention when I first took it to work. It was off the gun FYI.

Lol. I carry it around in my pocket some times and when I pull it out to light something up- people are always like "holy shit that is a bright flashlight".

Like a champ today. It was extremely visible and I used the tip of the triangle for precision shooting. It was almost dialed in when I put it on. One click up and one click to the right. My compadres and one of their old ladies loved it.

Observations today and random thoughts. I saw my Glock 42 get limp wristed and misfire every round. Grabbed it and blew through 40 or 50 with not a hitch. Maybe cheap ammo and female shooter was the issue but made me nervous at first. She picked up my RS290 and shot it like a champ so no telling, and she was a hell of a shot. It is a Sig though! Shot a suppressed 9mm Glock, with a rifle kit, and silencer. That damn thing was like shooting a star out of the target at the fair. It did put a little warm gas in my eye though.

I settled for the regular tlr1 and I'm kinda upset that I did. I'll end up buying an HL or an X300.

So how has the Meprolight M21 been working out for you? Any regrets?

[soap]

What reticle did you get? I kinda like the "X"

If you get an X300, spring for the Ultra.

I believe he got the triangle, I think I read that earlier in the post. Just curious about this sight with the lack of a battery. I didn't read it anywhere but does it use any photoluminescent paint that goes bad after a while? Or is it all fiber optic?

If you get an X300, spring for the Ultra.

Is that the new one that just came out?

It's the LED option. Crazy bright compared to the regular X300.

WTMF I was like why is my thread at the top.

Love it, love it, love it. I just pulled it out, took the cover off and it is as bright as the day I bought it, haven't had it out in a few months. The triangle idea is genius and love the quick target acquisition or precision use of the tip. If you are thinking of getting one and want to try it out let me know.

TLR

Still makes my other one and the Surefire(non led) look dull. For the money I dig it. There is such a thing as too bright indoors fellas. The HL is almost just that.
