The Nightstick Compact Weapon-Mounted Light is a lightweight, low-profile illumination system engineered specifically for concealed carry, duty carry, and tactical handgun platforms. Compact handguns often present mounting challenges due to shortened rail space and varying dust cover dimensions, while standard weapon lights can introduce unnecessary bulk and weight. Nightstick solves these fitment and handling barriers by pairing a sleek, aircraft-grade aluminum housing with a modular rail-mounting system, delivering 550 lumens of high-output tactical white light that integrates seamlessly across a wide range of compact and full-sized pistols.
The core performance advantage lies in the engineered Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optical lens, which focuses 4,612 candela into a crisp, concentrated beam capable of illuminating targets out to 136 meters while maintaining generous peripheral spill for total situational awareness. Built for high-stress operational environments, the unit incorporates rear-facing ambidextrous toggle switches that allow intuitive left- or right-handed operation. Users can seamlessly access momentary-on, constant-on, and a user-programmable tactical strobe mode, while a bezel lock-out feature prevents accidental battery drain during storage or transit.
Built to withstand severe recoil forces and harsh environments, the housing is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a durable Type III hard-anodized coating. Powered by a single CR123 lithium battery providing up to 2 hours of continuous runtime, the light is IPX7 waterproof—submersible up to 1 meter for 30 minutes—and impact-resistant up to 2 meters. The included modular rail inserts ensure secure, zero-slop lockup across popular handgun rail profiles.
