"I'm deployed to Afghanistan. I have a Tomahawk NV (blue) with the MOLLE TRS that I've been using for several months over here. It has become my go-to light for most tasks. The blue light works well for most low-light tasks without NVDs and the infrared mode is especially useful as a navigation light and close in work light inside completely blacked out dwellings and vehicles. I have been mounting the TRS in the center of my plate carrier at the upper most row of MOLLE webbing with the body of the light mounted horizontally so that I can either shine the light straight ahead or downwards. The Tomahawk has worked out well in the field because I've got enough things hanging off of my helmet between the strobe, NVG battery pack and NVGs. Helmet mounted lights just haven't worked out well for me. The only disadvantage to this position is that the beam is occasionally blocked by my weapon but in those cases the IR light on my M4 takes over to illuminate whatever I'm pointing at. I've used it in air temperatures between 122 and 24 degrees Fahrenheit, at altitudes up to 8,700 feet, and in extreme dust and pouring rain. None of these extremes seems to have had any effect on battery usage or on the light itself. While I have not used the light to augment my pistol in combat I have used it in training as a pistol light but with a different hold than that which you demonstrate on your website. As the method you demonstrate is a bit of a handful with the M9 one of my operators suggested reversing the finger loop and holding it with the middle finger, placing the light on the outside of the grip, upside down and pressing upward on the momentary-on switch with the knuckle of the 2nd joint of the pinky. It leaves more fingers gripping the weapon and has worked well for me. You've got a great product, keep it up."
