G2X Tactical as a Weapon light?

[m4brian]

Want a couple of these as a budget option on carbines. I'll run a scout type on another. Is the G2X T still the best option? Thanks.

You just looking for a 1" hand held light to weapon mount?

The G2X isn't as cheap as it used to be but think it's still a good light.

Yes
maybe one as good with 1000 Lumens and decent candela?

Why would you, when the hlx exists?

I agree with this. I have the hlx on a 16” rifle and been very happy with it. After putting a CD OWL on my SBR, the HLX will probably get bumped for a Rein. My GX2 is only used as a handheld.

Durability (?)

I like those lights and have a few on guns, but I prefer the Inforce rifle lights. They bought directly and are GTG.

From website: RIFLE LIGHTS
The WML and WMLx with white or white and IR emits a concentrated, high intensity beam up to 800 lumens and a 2-hour run time.

Lot of folks think Inforce lights are dog shit. Durability issues, battery drain, electronics issues, etc. They brief well, but so far, they've yet to prove themselves among most serious shooters. I haven't heard much about their newest metal WMLs, but they're only designed for pistols so far, so the polymer rifle lights are still a hard no for me. I know they have the metal CD OWL-ish light in the works, but I don't think it's out yet.

Is there an issue with durability, i've not heard about?
I owned 4 at one time, zero issues with any of them. I only have one currently, but i'm keeping it.

All our carbines have different variants of G2 lights on them in Hailey Thorntail mounts. Work pretty good for us.
