First Tactical has recently released some penlights. They tell us they these are functional as well as handy. Here’s how they describe 'em. First Tactical Penlights are designed to easily clip to a pocket or cap for a quick, bright light that is always ready. The Penlights feature large, reversible pocket clips that provide forward and reverse mounting options for ultimate versatility while a bungee finger loop allows operators the ability to go from flashlight in hand to behind the hand for emergency close-quarter needs. Here's a short video. Both Penlights features a high beam distance of 130m, a low beam distance of 31 m, a 14-inch hotspot, and a 70-inch flood area.
