So from my parents I got two really neat and useful things. A light/laser for my handgun, and an led Mini Maglite.
The light/laser is the X2 laser model from Insight Technology. A very compact little light that is designed for use with shorter handguns with an integrated accessory rail. My gun is an XD service from Springfield Armory with a four inch barrel. This light would fit on the three inch model as well, it's the only one as far as I know able to do this. It has a red laser and 80 lumens max output on the led white light. The laser is fully adjustable for windage and elevation via two allen screws. Two allen keys are included. Runtime is an hour with 1 CR2 battery. It's activated with a paddle type on/off switch that can be flipped into a momentary, or full on position. There is another switch on the bottom that deactivates the laser for white light only use. I am a bit disappointed that the laser cannot be used independently, this would save battery life at the range. Overall though a very rugged and extremely bright light, especially for the size.
The Maglite wouldn't normally be much to write home about, but this one is really cool. Generally I prefer the higher end lights when it comes to tactical types of preparedness, but for many of my survival kits include a run of the mill led Mini Maglite. What makes this one neat is that it has four settings, brightest, dim, flashing and SOS. Just click the light on and off quickly until you reach the setting you need. At about 100 lumens it is quite bright, and the dimmer setting is probably around 40. Of course the quality is just as good as ever from Maglite.
