If it was the one on the main range closest to the steel plate racks, it may have been mine.
Ignore those guys who said to get a Surefire, they're idiots.
LOL! Just kidding guys!
Obviously, if you can afford it, get the best... if you're gonna use it, and abuse it, get the best. I can't afford one. I went with the TacStar and it's OK. You're not gonna permanently blind anyone with this light, for sure... there are others that are much brighter, but it's a LOT brighter than using one of those "Maglight" attachments.
The pressure switch can be placed where it works best for you. I will note that I needed to file down some of the grip ridges on the pump handle to create a flat surface to mount it. I took my time and only the area the size of the switch needed filed, with a casual glance, you'd never notice it. Filing also allowed the switch to be somewhat "recessed" which keeps the switch closer to the grip surface, making it that much easier to operate.
I really don't recall what I paid for it, but I want to say it was around $60-$70 and that was several years ago.
I wouldn't "recommend" this one, because there are others that are better. I just see it as "better than nothing". Kinda' like my Cavalier, I'm happy with it, but there are other vehicles that are better, if you can afford them... like my Silverado!
Hope this info is of some use to someone.
