"I've had this light on my P320 Compact Carry for some time now, have ZERO gripes about it."
"I went into my friends half-acre backyard and had them flash me from over 100 feet away and it made me feel instantly disoriented and I looked away. However, I have not shot the gun with the light attached yet so I can't quite talk about its durability, though Streamlight seems to have good reviews on that end. Also, the other night the strobe feature stopped working but I just emailed them, I'll post an update to this review to see how that turns out."
"I purchased two Streamlight 69220 TLR-3 flashlights and then-- most recently-- this Streamlight 69260 TLR-1 flashlight."
"Now, i understand that the scuff is a nit-pick, and It makes me feel guilty because i’ve heard countless great things about this device and the company behind it, but my 3-star rating will stand until I am able to properly use it."
"Very bright, mounted to my Glock 23 with ease."
"I looked for a long time and read various reviews before deciding to purchase this light for my Smith&Wesson M&P 9 Pro."
"I can't see paying $300 or more dollars for a flashlight from surefire or other competitors when this one does the exact same thing for such a good price!"

"Great product at a reasonable price!!!"
"Outlite A100 Portable Ultra Bright LED Handheld Flashlight with Adjustable Focus and 5 Light Modes. This flash light runs off of three AAA batteries. The picture shows the arrow and the direction in which to place to batteries into the flashlight. I already own a 18650 battery, I stalled my battery into the supplied sleeve and placed into the flash light. The 18650 battery is very popular with many gadgets especially flashlights. Speaking of rain, there is a o’ring between the flashlight and the end that is going to prevent water from entering the battery compartment."
"For this price, you might expect a simple plastic flashlight with minimal performance."
"I work in a warehouse and I have to be constantly outside, so this flashlight is the perfect outdoor companion."
"This light not only gives me the option to use AAA batteries when I'm away from my charger, but it has the widest wide angle lighting setting of any of our small LED lights, nice feature w/ javelina around daily/nightly, & the local bobcat having two kittens big enough to roam."
"It has multiple different light/ brightness functions, light weight yet still Extremely well built and durable!"
"This is a fabulous flashlight."

"Perfect."
"Adjustable to my big ass head, and still comfortable and effective."
"They don't don't cover the whole side of my kid's face but completely cover the adult's ears."
"When the ear muffs arrived, the cushioning around the one side was completely compressed, I'm hoping now that it is out of the packaging this will resolve itself."
"These work great, they cover the ear perfectly and are pretty comfortable, definitely more effective and comfortable than my last pair, they really save my ears when running some of the power tools."
"Super Price for Safety Ear Muffs."
"I haven't had a chance to take them to the range and test them out but I like what I see so far they're very comfortable and the thick earmuff appears like it will do well with blocking the sound."

The reason I cannot give this five stars is simply because I haven't owned either of my lights for more than a few months, will this hold the test of time and some abuse?"

Find Best Price at Amazon"Most of my shooting is done at indoor ranges; and everyone knows that gunfire (or any loud noise) is more severe in an enclosed environment. In my set of Impact Pros, the volume needs to be cranked up almost to full maximum in order to attain a "normal" level of hearing, and it seems to me that there is also an unusually high amount of background hiss. As far as "cutting out" when there is a sharp spike in the noise level, though, the electronics in the Impact Pro are wonderful. If the unthinkable happens and I really do have to press that trigger one unfortunate night, I'd prefer to come out on the other side with my hearing still intact; but the other 'plus' about the (electronic) earmuffs that is often overlooked is the sound amplification. Howard Leight does not market these as "tactical" hearing protection, so it would be unfair of me to rate them as such. So would I recommend the Howard Leight Impact Pro earmuffs to my best friend or family members? Some misguided individuals will claim that the low profile makes them better suited for long gun use than the full size Impact Pro; i.e. that the low profile design doesn't interfere with their cheek weld. What I know for a fact, though, is that bigger guns make a bigger boom, and I'd much rather be wearing these Impact Pro muffs than the Impact Sport when I'm shooting a big-bore rifle/shotgun... or worse, when I'm standing NEXT TO a person shooting one at the indoor range! As a "graduation present", I bought her a pair of these Howard Leight Impact Pro earmuffs. :-) FYI: I also bought my daughter-in-law the ESS ICE NARO 2x Eyeshield Kit as part of the graduation present."
"I know that there are a lot of reviews about this item but I wanted to share my experience having purchased both the Impact Pro and the Impact Sport (R-025024) model Howard Leight by Honeywell R-02524 Impact Sport Sound Amplification Electronic Earmuff, Black. They look bulky and if they did not have the same brand name you would think that the Impact Pro is a much more inferior product than the Impact Sport. When you put the Impact Pro on and raise the volume all the way to high, the sounds are not louder than what you would hear without them while the Impact Sport amplify the sounds and you can hear better. They are also enormous compared to the Impact Sport (see attached photos) and they do not fold nicely as the Impact Sport do. I also find both the Impact Pro and the Impact Sport very comfortable and do not feel that I want to take them off after a couple of hours of wearing them but comfort varies from person to person and you may find them more or less comfortable than I do. In my opinion, the Impact Pro are made for the indoor shooting range and the Impact Sport are made for outdoor activities and would most likely be great for hunting because they amplify the sounds around you while they seal your ears from the gun shots as long as you are not shooting high caliber pistols of rifles."
"CONS: This set has poor sound reproduction, quite dull, so buying them for music is disappointing. On balance, for me (I don't listen to music while shooting), they are very good, and I appreciate the further noise reduction, their basic function. Will normally use the smaller, 22 db reduction units outdoors unless I know someone brought their "cannon", and these indoors."

"Anyone who knows anything about knives should be able to sharpen their own knives like they want, not complain about having to take it to a specialist. Stainless is very hard to achieve a good edge on without the proper honing instruments, such as ceramic. I live in New Mexico and have plenty of expierience in the matter. The oils in the leather will make it waterproof and keep most moisture out, plus, everytime you sheath it, you will put a fine coat of oil on the blade."
"I've always wanted a Ka-Bar, and when I found one here for quite a bit less then in stores or other online places I quickly put in my order. No decent knife should come with a razor sharp edge on it, because you are supposed to sharpen it to your preferences."
"I added size 15 O-rings to the handle in between the grooves as mentioned in a previous post and made a big difference in the grip."
"To read a complete review go to [...]. Just received my new KA-BAR USMC Fighting Knife in the mail a day early might I add. Once I opened the box my jaw hit the floor and my eyes started tearing up. Knife came razor sharp out of the box with a fine point tip(I dropped the knife and the point grazed my shin and the point poked my shin right thru my jeans and sliced my shin and blood streamed down, I couldn't believe how sharp it was). Even though I live in the Greater NW and the Kraton handle would probably have been more practicable for wet weather climates, I just had to stick with the Original handle. I will also be purchasing the Ka-Bar Short USMC Fighting Knife with the Tanto Tip. I can't wait to pass this knife down to my Son when he comes of age and then see him pass it to my Grandson when he comes of age."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this dehydrator sort of like many people did: after reading the things you can do with it, I got all excited, thinking, "I'm going to dehydrate EVERYTHING and it's going to be amazing!!!" So far, I've used the dehydrator to make a couple of batches of each of: - Apple chips (thin apple slices soaked for a few hours in a combo of lemon juice and cranberry juice, then dried). - beef jerky (this dehydrator comes with a starter park for jerky, plus I made my own marinade the next time). - chicken jerky. - bacon bits (the ends and "bad cuts" of my own home-cured, smoked bacon, finely chopped, cooked, and then dehydrated. The temperature can be dialed in from 95ºF to 160ºF as printed on the top (remember that problem I mentioned? Well, I have tested the actual running temperature of the dehydrator against the printed values on the dial, and they're not even close. I used several methods to determine the temperature: 1) A Mastercool Digital Infrared Thermometer pointed directly into an exhaust vent (see photo) with the dial set to the maximum 160ºF. 4) A digital metal probe thermometer (Lavatools Thermowand) inserted into both the upper and lower exhaust ports. In all cases (except #3, which responded too slowly) I was able to see the lower temperature at which the heater kicked on, as well as the upper temperature at which the heater turned off (in theory, this would be right around the number printed on the dial). - At the 135ºF setting on the dehydrator, the actual temperature maxed out at around 120ºF, at which point the heater turned off and the temperature dropped slowly until the heater came back on. - At the 160ºF setting (maximum), it was the same story but with an actual temperature topping out at around 135ºF. What concerns me is this unit's suitability for jerky -- the minimum recommended temperature for any meat is 160ºF when making jerky. I'm not too terribly concerned about the beef jerky because I routinely eat beef at a much lower temperature than that (though it does make a good case for refrigerating the jerky in this case), but the chicken jerky could have gone pretty badly!"
"The 3rd reason I love this dehydrator is simple, it produces the best tasting dehydrated foods I've ever had, I'm and avid outdoorsman and have dehydrated everything from deer to turkey, family friends insist I start selling the jerky made with this product. With all that being said, if you have a dehydrator that is getting old/malfunctioning or just want to start making your own dehydrated foods, this product is for you, don't pass this one up, you will not be dissatisfied with your purchase."
"First, lets talk about performance: Only in a few ocasions I could dry something with less than 12 hours using a moderate temperature and thin slices. But a 4,5 or 4,7 stars would be more fair, since this dehydrator has a lot of good points and we live in a very humid area, in the sea coast. I think if you are willing to put some peppers in a dehydrator, you should use very low temperatures, those used to dry herbs and other fragile stuff. I can not believe some people say this dehydrator makes some undesirable noise to the point that they need to put them in a room far from their bedroom otherwise they couldn't sleep! The gray and white marble finish fits incredibly well in any room, like it's camouflaged, hard to explain. Dehydrated fruits leave virtually no residue, they stick very lightly to the trays and can be easily pulled out. Not a single banana or any other fruit like apples got stuck in the trays to the point that they couldnt be removed easily with the fingers, and entire, not in fragments. (Room temperature: 28 Celsius) With 9 trays full of fruits: 1st hour: 650 Watts (average). Explanation: the first hours take more power because the machine is heating the trays so the thermostat rarely turns off. After a few hours, the thermostat only activates ocasionally to refresh the temperature, since the trays are already heated and only need a maintenance to keep the warm air flow. When the electric resistance turns off, the measure of wattage reads 28 watts, that's the power consumption of the fan (negligible). I will update this review if anything unexpected occurs, or if I have any important thing to add, like new food experiences, et cetera. To finish this review, I'd like to apologize for my awful English, I had a hard time writting this because I am not a native speaker, so tell me if something sounds odd or particularly unusual, I can clarify your questions in the comments section."

"Whenever a car battery (or any rechargeable battery) drops below a critical open circuit (no load) voltage (for 12 volt batteries this would be around 11 volts) internal damage begins and if one has a vehicle which drains a battery below this critical voltage (called a parasitic draw) you lose capacity every time a (what i call a destructive discharge) occurs. Under these conditions even a new battery may only last a few months and this applies to any type rechargeable battery Current rechargeable Lithium batteries would fail in one destructive discharge if protective circuits did not shut them off soon enough."
