If you own a pistol for personal protection, you should know how to use a flashlight along with it. That’s another good testing criterion for a flashlight.Īs a reminder, the flashlight shooting chapter of my book Indoor Range Practice Sessions is free to download. When I have the opportunity, I’ll have someone shine the SideKick in my face to see if it’s as blinding as the 6P is. That’s not the SideKick’s intended role but if it were pressed into service for that purpose, the user would have to be very careful not to get the hand holding the flashlight in front of the gun muzzle. Because of its size and switch location, none of the commonly taught flashlight shooting techniques will work with it. One thing the SideKick doesn’t do as well as the 6P is function as a shooting assist light. The Low mode’s usability for this would depend on the user’s eyesight but that’s probably irrelevant for this usage. This showed that both High and Medium modes would provide more than adequate illumination to make the Don’t Shoot/Shoot decision. The Target ID test for it was on a prototype Recognition Primed Decision training target at 10 feet. The SideKick throws a much wider pattern that is much more even throughout. The 6P has very bright center spot with a less intense spill surrounding it. The throw pattern is clearly different than the 6P LED. ![]() MaxVision Beam® floods your boundaries with light triple output: 300, 60 and 5 lumens The order can be reprogrammed during the recharging process.Ĭomparing the SideKick to the 6P LED showed some noticeable differences. The literature says this is the opposite order of the factory order setting but that’s how it came. Mine cycles from High (300 lumens) to Medium (60 lumens) to Low (5 lumens) and then Off in order. go to settings and then go to about sidekick, here you will see credits rolling down, this is when u hold menu, shift and press the number 8. The variability of output is controlled by quickly pressing the switch multiple times. id do it but it already lights up when my phone rings. If the switch is pressed a few seconds later the light turns off. Pressing the switch and leaving it puts the light in the High mode. The switch has two options, which are an improvement over some of the complicated switching patterns often found on tactical lights. When setting the light down as an impromptu worklight, the flat shape is much better than a round light, even one with a limited roll aspect. The carabiner attachment has been handy for removing and reattaching the light to the keychain. Best placed beside the bed, on your vanity or atop a dresser. ![]()
