[@usernameunknown658]

The problem is the battery on the streamlight you have to remove the device to change the battery and thus have to re zero all the time ... and these batteries are not lasting not 1-3 years you changing them regularly.

Holosun updated their lasers and they work with the Insight-style tape switches now. I have mine rigged up with my white light using a Surefire dual end tape switch and it works great. The biggest downside for me is that the laser sits extremely high. You need a 1.93" mount to get a good sight picture with an LPVO.

[@oscarescano1831]

“Most people don’t care about accuracy in the dark- but it fucking matters.” Best quote ever! RLTW

[@christopherdenton7290]

The holosun uses a standard crane plug. So you can use the surefire dual switches or the mod light ones. I have the mod light ones and they are excellent

[@KineticConsulting]

Now they do man. This an old video.

@Libertarian 4 Life How is the IR illuminator on the 420? If it isn't any more powerful than the ones on their lower tier lasers or on the A3, then it isn't worth the $.

[@mig1nc]

Did you say the Perst lasers don't get warranty work? Because multiple people have reported good warranty service from Zenitco. It's pretty much the only full power laser us civilians can get full warranty support on.

[@KineticConsulting]

Good to hear, I have also heard that people have been ignored.

[@koolkid3184]

I bought the Holosun LSG321 and it the surefire pressure pads fit it. I have surefire scout and run the surefire dual pressure pad, no issues. The mount I do not like, and after using the quick disconnect lever to secure it, I then tighten screw making the quick disconnect useless, but it will never come off under fire.

Hi John, I know you're a huge proponent of the MAWL (but realistically, I don't think I can justify 3k for my needs and purposes of more occasional recreational shooting). What are your thoughts on the DBALA3? The ATPIAL-C just got a huge price hike and is rarely in stock (besides TNVC) - the DBAL is cheaper and seems to be a direct competitor to the ATPIAL (after the MAWL). Info is tough to find (I've looked a lot on the AR-15 forums and this video). Thanks, appreciate it.

[@KineticConsulting]

The dbal A3 is a good choice and so is the holosun Ls321G

[@markykev]

@@KineticConsulting thanks John. I picked up the red version of the holosun for 675. figured it would be cheap to get my feet wet and practice while I save up for a mawl in the long run. (plus you and Haley said they weren't bad considering the price)

The new holosun’s run with standard crane hooks now. Send your unit in and they’ll replace it & the QD mount has been improved!

[@idayote5106]

I have a perst 4 green+ it’s awesome but yes it’s true I haven’t seen anything about a warranty so if it breaks I’m probably screwed. I haven’t contacted Ivan tactical about it so I’m not sure what his stance is on that. Understand that when buying you have to wait like 30+ days for shipping because of customs. Otherwise awesome laser so far seems super solid I’ve banged it around no zero drift that I can tell. I love the controls besides the pressure pad supplied and the laser is a freaking light Sabre (vis and Ir) it’ll reach out and touch 1500m no problem not that you need to go that far but I like having more than .7mW it’s nice when shooting at further distances to see the beam and not struggle to find the laser if you miss the target like with an underpowered unit. Regardless $470 not too bad

[@KineticConsulting]

Cool. Some downsides but if you're willing to live with them, rock on.

[@teflondefcon1674]

Are you running a surefire Vampire for illunminator? I just ordered perst 4 green plus. Gonna get modlight IR with it. Have Atipal C and gen 3 14s from L3 onmi 8s. So besides perst 3 I think is a good full power option.

[@johndavis1312]

Good review. If you flip the mount around on the holosun it won't undo by itself. Also I don't know if they changed something but mine accepts surefire pads.

[@ronfurro4161]

[@johndavis1312]

@@ronfurro4161 the technical term is a crane plug but I don't think streamlight offers that. Surefire and L3 are the main ones

[@DaVe-dv3qs]

one of the downsides of a higher powered laser is visibility to your target. The peq-15's and 16's we use in the military are kinda cool in that you have a solid beam of light (like a lightsaber) to your target, but that also means that you have that same lightsaber tracing all the way back to you, so now your enemy knows exactly where to shoot.

[@KineticConsulting]

If they can see it.

[@DaVe-dv3qs]

Kinetic Consulting true. But they don’t always need high end night vision to find you. They could just use some old camcorder with night vision function just good enough to see what building your laser traces back to.

[@KineticConsulting]

@@DaVe-dv3qs yup, absolutely

[@d1gital.alch3my]

I'm lovin my C1+ as well! It slays! Also a good option is the surefire x400v.. really good illuminator and laser. Good spot and spill.. only rub is the white light/ ir switching is the bezel. Still a great option for sub $1000. Built tough too

[@GuamGuy]

Any experience and opinions about the L3 Ngal or Wilcox Raptor?

[@KineticConsulting]

I have used both. They aren't bad but both have a hefty price tag.

[@Specter044]

Full powered lasers can quickly cause permanent eye damage. Rioters in Portland are using high powered lasers to blind police, people have also tried blinding airline pilots with them.

The whole “mawl is great because you can send it back” It only has a 1 year warranty does it not, after that .. yeah you can send it back , but how much we talkin to fix it??

I haven't looked to see if the LED flashes when off, but I'm definitely seeing some drain. Mine eats a rechargeable 123A in about 2 weeks, and a fresh Surefire battery in about 3.

[@ChrisD1224]

@@remoteholepunch6739 I spoke with BE Meyers and was told the blinking LED indicator was a normal function of the unit and wouldn't cause battery drain. A way of running a diagnostic of some kind. 🤷🏻‍♂️. They also asked that I send in my device to be looked at. They sent me a brand new replacement in return. Battery drain or not, they have great customer service.

@@ChrisD1224 how's it been? Does yours drain the battery when stored in the off position?

[@ChrisD1224]

@@ribbitcroak Recently I was out of work for about 8 weeks. Didn't touch my rifle or MAWL that whole time (MAWL had a fresh battery). Picked it up on my return to duty, battery was completely drained.

[@ribbitcroak]

@@ChrisD1224 well fuck...that is not ok with me at all damn. Doubt it but I wonder if this was addressed with the new mawl revision

I run an ACOG/rmr combo, so you think the holosun or Steiner would be mounted too high and in the sight picture of an acog? Thanks!

[@KineticConsulting]

Nope. It will be out of the field of view most likely

This is the best breakdown video of the different IR devices I’ve seen. Appreciate the info. 👍🏻

[@diyoregonnowtexas9202]

You said Holosun lasers, but did not say which model you had there. Which model do you recommend?

[@KineticConsulting]

Ls321G

[@11pack09]

What comes first the goggles or the laser?

[@KineticConsulting]

Laser. You can already learn how to aim and practice

[@Martin-rq4ru]

I say goggles, Buy the most expensive first

[@jimihenedrixson7568]

Since the commercial PEQ15s blow so hard, how does one get the military one then? Special liscense or something? I'm in the military and they only sell to departments and such to my knowledge.

[@KineticConsulting]

You can buy them second hand through NV101 group on Facebook

[@jimihenedrixson7568]

@@KineticConsulting thank you

[@boomlightsout]

What mounting option do you suggest to replace the stock holosun mount with?

[@KineticConsulting]

Not sure if there is one anymore. You can latch it down and then tighten it on the torx side of the mount

[@gray_wolverine63]

what is the fixes for the DBAL with the surefire swatch ? what needs to be done to it ? Thanks for the review

[@KineticConsulting]

Sometimes so that it doesn't slip out you have to trim the little tip to the crane switch. Be careful because you may destroy it doing so

[@BobBob-il2ku]

Anyone know we’re I can find the AA battery version of the mawl?

[@nikanor8152]

I don't think there's a specific version, but rather an end cap. bemeyers.com/shop/aa-endcap

[@Tommy-Technical]

Small error on your part: the Holosun laser unit DOES accept crane type pressure pads, such As the Surefire dual switch. Designed for it, and works perfectly.

[@KineticConsulting]

I've tried it in this one and it's a no-go. Maybe in a newer version it does.

[@mig1nc]

@@KineticConsulting Yep, you are right. Yours is the older version.

Yes...put this one in zee box.
