Let me preface by saying I understand this is a “me” issue, but it’s still an issue.
The other night I had to head outside and search the perimeter of my house because we had a raccoon and I needed to take care of it since my cat is sometimes an outside cat and raccoons are dangerous to them.
So I’ve got my .22 rifle and I grabbed my Streamlight Protac AA off the nightstand. My fault right off the bat, that’s not enough light for outside, but compounding the problem, I kept somehow hitting the tail switch the right way to turn on the “low” setting and it kept taking me 2-3 tries to get back to bright. Eventually it pissed me off enough that I grabbed my 3 D-cell maglite from my SUV.
I don’t really want to encounter this issue again in an actual emergency situation. I’m lucky it just happened chasing a raccoon. And I’ve had the issue before with Fenix lights and a Surefire light.
Is there any quality flashlight with a tail cap switch, preferably by Streamlight, Surefire, or a similar quality brand, whose switch just turns the dang thing ON and OFF. I don’t mind going through batteries.
