Olight has released an update to their flagship pistol mounted light and it is a substantial one. The Olight PL-Pro took all of the great features of the PL-2 Valkyrie, increased the output and added an internal rechargeable battery.

The Surefire X300-U is the market leader for pistol mounted weapon lights. I own several of them. The original PL-2 Valkyrie offered a great value to those who are not quite in the market for the Surefire. The PL-Pro may have actually taken a step past the X300-U.
