I ordered this DefendTek DT-M1C weapon light on Monday the other evening and received the order Wednesday afternoon. At first glance I thought this light is very legit. It has a nice build and I love the quick release mount that it has for the picatinny rail. I was disappointed once I put the battery in (totally unaware of the bulb being blown) and almost gave up on it. So I bought the Streamlight TLR-3 weapon light the same evening to recompense for the DT-M1C being a defect. I did get in touch with DefendTek on their Facebook page. I also sent them a follow up message here. They responded promptly reassuring me that I did have a defective light (bad bulb) and that they were fixing the problem as we spoke. They immediately shipped me a new DefendTek DT-M1C weapon light Thursday. I received it today in the mail (Saturday) and let me just say this thing has gone far beyond my expectations. I put it up against my Streamlight TLR-3 for comparison and let me tell you it won overall in my decision to make it my everyday carry. The hot spot is just a tad smaller than the TLR-3 hot spot, but the spill on both lights are the same. I love the strobe feature as well. You don't even have to shine this light towards you directly for it to disorient your functions. This light is extremely bright!! Much brighter than the TLR-3!! Only complaint that I have about this weapon light (and I hope that DefendTek is reading this) is that the quick release mounting system is very unstable when correctly mounted. It's not very stiff which is what I would like for it to be when it comes to the light being mounted on my gun (Taurus G2C 9mm). But I have to say that it is fully mounted on the gun. You can hear the "click" when it is correctly installed on the rail. But that was my only complaint. Just about the light being too loose on the rail when mounted. Other than that, EXCELLENT product!! Two thumbs up!! I will definitely be keeping this light as my everyday carry. Plus Amazon has it priced much cheaper than the actual msrp. Thanks DefendTek!! Great product!!

As of this morning, the replacement DT-M1C weapon light that DefendTek sent me was no longer functioning. I checked it and I no longer had operation. I pulled the battery out and reinstalled it. Still no function. I didn't know what had happened. I ended up changing batteries all together and found out that while I had the light mounted on my gun while in my holster, the switch had been activated being that it's so large and completely drained out the battery in a short time. I gave 3 stars only because of the switch. The concept of the product is wonderful. The build is wonderful. Other than the release mount being loose and the switch being a little larger than needed, it's a great product. Could be tons better. I hope you come out with a 2nd or 3rd gen on this model (not sure if this is the first). It would greatly improve this weapon light.
