I’ve had the first iteration of this light for about a year. It’s been flawless, bright and reliable. Runs about an hour of constant on, but for a quick scan every so often, it stays charged for months.

[@toynazi]

Still rocking my original PL mini. Didnt think I would like this light honestly due to the USB charge. But it holds its charge well. I have since bout two more for other carry guns.

very good overview eric, and thanks for putting this on my radar. i know some people were giving you flak for putting this up late but to be honest i don't always keep up with gun news unless i'm specifically looking to buy something so i saw it here first. i'm glad that guns and gun accessories are becoming more and mainstream and accessible, the more people we can get shooting and defending themselves, the better.

Dingle Fritz Me too. Just ordered this new one too. I just pulled my Glock out of the glove box to recharge the mini that I bought 9 months ago. It’s been in the truck for 4 months and I figured I’d give it a recharge. It was green. No loss of charge in 4 months in the truck. This new one will be my 4th Olight.

[@danfromthesouth5352]

I got one for $63 on the day they released it. It’s on my glock 30 and fits nice in a sticky holster size LG-6S. This light is crazy bright in the house...so much so that I can’t see my night sights at all when it’s on. That’s only inside though, outside I can see fine. This also fits my brother’s Taurus G2C. It’s a little small on my Walther Q5 but the viper red dot I have mounted for now shows up just fine indoors with light on.

[@KingLeeThe2nd]

I have it and use to run it on my Canik Elite SC and it will fit the holster whether it’s pushed back to the trigger guard or flush to the muzzle. It’s a Slim Fit Holster. Best in the game!

[@GatorPitofTexas]

Was researching a light I could use on multiple pistols and you popped up. Just ordered and it will arrive tomorrow. Will probably order a couple more, after this first arrives tomorrow. Want to check them out personally, before I order multiple units. Looks like a great addition to my FN509 Tact, Glock 19X, and a few of my compacts. Great vid as always. Thanks, Ritch

[@superxgaming3983]

I work at Bare Arms Custom Holsters in Ashland ,Ky as one of the builders. we get a lot of orders for the pl-2 mini on almost all the guns we build holsters for, and building a holster for them is actually pretty easy and they fit amazing and keep retention very well. I own one myself on my new Canik TP9 Elite SC and built a holster for it, and with this light it can carry both IWB and OWB very comfortably. if you ever want to try one of your carry guns with a custom holster molded for the pl-2 mini just give us a call and talk to brian or tommy and we can see what we can work out for you.

M&P compacts are 4" - their original pl-mini fits 4" compacts as well. The real question is will it fit any of the xds 3.3", which is probably one of the shortest pistols made with a rail.

[@Iraqveteran8888]

I don’t think that’s going to happen. They sell so much volume they can have the prices a little lower I think. They are doing a great job with their lights, they really are. I was skeptical at first, but as I’ve used/abused them they seem to hold up great.

[@theshepherdproject5025]

I really wish when they did g Flashlight reviews they’d also recommend holsters

[@DwFritz23]

Holster makers are slow to incorporate olight lights already, even big companies, see safariland. But for other kydex holsters, for retention purposes, I think the retention would have to focus on the lights mount and the quick detach lever while leaving space for the actual body of the light to be moved forward a little. I can't really see anybody using the light not against the trigger guard anyway.

The light ,if its cranked down too tight, can cause a failure to feed. Take the light off and see if it doesn't fix the failure to feed problem .

[@michaelkaiser1864]

I understand that this light has a similar profile as the x300.

[@saintsfan7991]

Great review as always. But I think that anything with a proprietary system (like the batteries/charging circuit here) is a drawback. I avoid anything that does not have off-the-shelf parts. What is the lifespan of the battery? Is it even replaceable or is the light disposable at that point like so many LED flashlights today that do not allow for a bulb-change? What is the cost of a replacement battery? Anytime that you are beholden to only one company to get needed parts, that is a big negative for me. A good example is the dongle...can't get that in the phone charging section of a store etc. I tried to find info on their site and non of these questions were addressed anywhere. They do however list the lights that use regular batteries in the FAQ.
