Have your ran one of these? For me they are awesome outdoors and too bright for indoors. Again, I prefer the standard non HL version. HL has so much blow back it creates that safe bubble and I loose farther vision acuity. Great lights no question!!
I've not run a HL personally, but this will be going on a Glock G40 for backpacking. I would agree with you for a "nightstand gun"...I run an Olight Valkyrie Mini 2 on my G19 and it's a great compromise of small size and good lumen output. Thanks!
