Yeah, it's a flashlight. They rate it as 120 Lumens, but some have measured it at 170-180 Lumens. It is brighter than my Fenix P2D Q5 Premium on 'turbo' - which supposedly is 180 Lumens - with fresh S-F CR123s for everybody.
Ah, but can a flashlight be a weapon? This one can. It's front and rear are crenellated - scalloped. That makes the light an effective strike weapon, coming or going - as designed and promoted. The length, 5.4", allows the ends to be proud of your hand grip, making it more 'effective' at beaning someone. First, it's bright enough to temporarily blind/disorient your attacker - then you crown him - neat.
It's beautifully made, of course, but only runs 2hr at that level. Click it again, and it is a rear click push button that can stand on it's scalloped tailcap, if necessary, and you have five lumens - enough to read a map at night - and it'll run three days plus at that level. It aint cheap - $149 MSRP - but some mail order sites throw in shipping and a handful of spare CR123s - get Surefire's cells if you can - they are the best. All made in the USA, too. Mine has a home.
