Perfect Size, Perfect ON/Off Button, Love the Mount
The size was surprisingly smaller than I though as most lights are large, and it was small enough to fit a Sig P320 very nicely. There is an On/Off button on each side of the light so a right trigger finger or a left thumb (I'm right handed) could turn the light on or off with ease. Battery goes in from the font lens, lens screws off, just the way I like it. The mount is spring actuated, and has a strong spring, so it is easy to slide on and off with no tools needed. The light doesn't fit perfectly snug but more than snug enough. It is an all metal light. I bought EBL rechargeable RCR123 batteries to power this thing and they fit fine. Very nice light, especially for the money. I just bought a few more.

Initial Impression is Positive (for the Price) *Freeze and Battery Drain Test Update*
Purchased this November 2020 based on excellent price and decent reviews. Figured it was worth a shot. Consider this review based on initial impressions; should be able to really test it out in the next month or so and will update if there are failures.There seems to be differing stories of what comes with this purchase. For me, I received this in a soft/plastic pack. Inside of the pack, there was the boxed G03 Mini flashlight, and a separate loose Garberiel branded 3.7v 16340 rechargeable battery and a battery charger.A note on the battery - the included 16340 battery is the same size as "standard" CR123a batteries but there appears to be a difference as the 16340 battery results in a noticeably brighter beam. So CR123a batteries do work on this device (I tested it), but the brightness is noticeably diminished (though still sufficient for a pistol light, imo). I'm guessing that this is due to the 16340 battery being 3.7v and my CR123a batteries being 3.0v but I'm not qualified to say that as fact.Either way, important to note that I received a rechargeable battery and a charger as part of my package. Wasn't expecting the charger and it was a pleasant surprise.Opening the light, it came pretty much as expected - all aluminum build quality and compact. For those that say this is of similar quality to Streamlights or other premium brands, I respectfully disagree. The build quality is certainly good for it's price but it is nowhere near the quality of Streamlight and Surefire lights that I have the pleasure of owning.In messing with the light over the past few days, below are my observations:Positives:- Surprisingly bright for its size using the included 3.7v battery - brighter than some dedicated larger compact CR123a lights I own- On/off button type is better than some other budget options. Good positioning and less likely to accidently turn on than paddle type buttons I've seen- More than acceptable build quality for the price paid - nicely finished, all aluminum construction. I threw it around the house for a good 2 minutes while lit just to see if the internals were solid and there was no type of failure observed. That's already more than I can say for some other budget lights I've used.Negatives/Concerns:- Less bright with more common CR123a batteries, as outlined earlier. Can see why some people have said "this thing is surprisingly bright" and others have said that it's just ok brightness wise.- Not a fan of the rail attachment system. I'm mounting to picatinny and there is "looseness". Not to the point where I think it would fall off, but enough to bother me. Fixed with some foam tape on the flat of the quick attach mechanism. Having the mechanism tighten in some way would be better (like Streamlight).- No proof, but concerned that there may be constant battery drain, even when the light is off. This tends to happen with budget lights and I noticed that this light flickers on for a moment every time you swap batteries, even when the light is off. Will monitor and update if that ends up being the case.- Device claims to be "weatherproof". Not sure what that means exactly, but I have little confidence that it's waterproof. Don't want to ruin the light by testing but there are obvious gaps around the on/off buttons that don't inspire confidence of blocking water to the internals if it were dunked.Overall, my score is reflective of the price paid. I like the light and am satisfied for the money. Recognize up front that there is going to be a gap between this and a more expensive light and I think that you will too.*Update 12/6*Decided what the heck, let's see if freezing it impacts the electronics at all (have seen cheaper lights fail in freezing temps). Stuck it in my freezer for about 4 hours until completely frozen. Happy to report that everything worked great - pulled it out and light was just as bright as when it went in! No condensation on the inside of the lens so there is some level of protection there. Let it thaw out fully and everything is continuing to work well.Also happy to report that there seems to be no obvious battery drain so far! Just as bright and alive as when I first charged it. As previously outlined, it does continue to flick on momentarily every time a battery is inserted (which is not a common trait I've seen on my other lights).Still not brave enough to dunk it in water. It doesn't claim to be water proof and, though there is a (thin) gasket on the lense thread cap, I'm not confident that the on/off buttons wont allow water through and potentially ruin the light.Overall there is a TON to like here for the price. Keep that price point in mind and I think you'll be more than satisfied. I like that its a single mode (simple) and think it's surprisingly bright for its size. I would say that the light has a good balance of flood than beam - will light up any house distances no problem and good to 40 or so yards outside based on my backyard tests.Would increase to 4.5 stars if I could. Slight looseness when attached to the rail and not promoting full waterproof capability keep it from a 5.

Diamond in the rough
Great flashlight. Slips perfectly onto the picatinny rail and grabs it securely. The ambidextrous push button switch, not that cheap slide switch, is positioned perfectly for the trigger finger while mounted on a pistol in single grip. The thumb on the opposite hand for a 2 handed grip.Rubber O-ring for the lens cap, keeps moisture out. Also makes it nice and snug.Not sure on lumen output, but it serves it purpose and it does it quite well.Just wish it had a strobe mode.Definitely recommend this diamond in the rough.

Update-i think I had bad batteries.
Update-i used new batteries and the light us holding a charge. The ones that came with the light must have been old or almost dead. Its working great now.I heard a bump in the night...woke up..heard it again. Seriously thought an intruder was in the house... Beep beep beep, opened the bedside gun safe...charged the weapon...moved to the stairwell...index finger pressed the flashlight button...nothing...repeat ..nothing...batteries were dead. Resorted to turning on the house lights in every room as I cleared the first level. Turned out to be an appliance making funny noise.Installed the batteries about a month ago. Tried the light twice. Super bright. Awesome. But, there must be a slight draw because they are totally dead now. What use is a dead light. You need it when you need it. I don't have time to install new batteries in the middle of the night.Super bright. Fits perfect on my Glock 19 Gen 3. Need to fix the battery 🔋 problem.

Low battery life.
It was sorta bright but the battery life was just so bad not worth it.

Fantastic foe the money
SHOCKED at how nice this light is for $26, I just ordered a 2nd one! I have carried a streamlight TLR1 HL for years on my edc gun. The TLR is just too big though and I wanted something smaller. This light feels like streamlight quality with a clearly much smaller price tag! On a Walther PPQ it mounts perfectly flush with the end of the barrel and does not stick out. On a Glock 23/19 it does stick out about 1/4." 2 things bad about this light: 1. I haven't tested this yet with thousands of rounds to see if it survives recoil. 2. The light has a quick release feauture which is SUPER handy for slipping the light off in seconds, however it doesn't lock the light down, so it slides around a touch on the rail. When it slides, it wears a tiny bit of plastic off the rail each time. Not a huge issue but after 3,000 rounds it may show wear on your rail of your gun.

Very bright. Very strong. But i revamped it.
Fits great on my s&w 2.0 and g3 taurus.But i modified it. The 2 tabs that are on the side are too long and did not fit in my bedside soft holster. So, i files them down. Taped the light and painted the stubs/tabs that pulls the spring to release the light from the rail. Light is ver bright. It the company made these tabs less popped out, it would be the perfect light. But i fixed the problem and hopefully the company will see my hack and make a new revised model.
