Olight listened to the market and definitely filled a need with their innovation, esp. in the ultracompact sized pistols which might have only one pic rail tooth and/or off the norm trigger guard designs and dimensions.

Thanks for the review KS, I got one of the PL Mini 2’s a couple months ago and have been plenty happy with it. Plenty of lumens, small, easy to mount and adjust, easy charging capability and it was not crazy expensive. I didn’t feel the need to spend $100+ on a light and this fit the bill well. Thanks as always man!

Just ordered my first pl mini. Can't wait to get it. Love my streamlights.

I have the PL-Mini and absolutely love the design and quality of the light. I also love that I can just keep the battery topped off using the quick-connect charger. Now it looks like I’ll have to get myself a Mini-2!

I have 2 Mini Valkyries, they're my favorite. Great light output, and won't blind me if I have to do a house check in the middle of the night. I also have a holster made for my G30 to carry the mini val IWB. Works great.

Great review as always! I love my Olights. I have the M2T Warrior, PL-2, PL- mini, and the S1R baton II. They've all been great!

Ordered one because of your review. Nice!! Thank you!

I have an Olight PL-Mini that fits great on my P-07, P229, etc. It's a great, compact and very lightweight WML. I also love how quickly and easily it pops on and off, while still being very secure when it's mounted. When it eventually wears out, I'll be upgrading to a PL Mini-2, for sure.

I don't have any mounted lights yet , I do want at least one .. Thanks for shedding some light on the subject !!!

I bought this exact light last month and it works very well. Fits the SW 2.0 compact and CZ P-07. Cleveland Kydex made me a holster for it that fits with the light on and even for left handed shooters like me. I highly recommend the O-light and Cleveland Kydex

I have two PL-Minis - one in black and one in FDE. Both are the 'first gen' lights. I really like them. Thanks for the video KS!

Thank you for the detailed overview. I already own several of the Valkyrie PL mini lights. I've been dying to get my hands on one of these for my HK P30sk and my upcoming Sig 320 XCompact.

Just got this because of the video for the Sig p320 X Compact. It fits perfect, and it seems pretty bright. And for the cost can't beat it.

love their lights from the very first one I bought, now I have 6 olights on different pistols. Cheers

Great video as usual. I like the Olights but haven't bought any yet. I have really been enjoying the Inforce APLC just for how it fits on my guns. Not terribly bright but seems perfect for inside use. Thanks for the review!

I own 11 different Olights one of every WML they make, 2 PL-Mini first gen Valkyries and a bunch of EDC lights they are high quality, and for the price well below SureFire and StreamLight. I’m not saying they are as durable only time will tell but if build quality is any indication Olight will cement their place as a top tier light company as well. The PL-Mini Valkyrie 2 is the perfect light for someone who may only want to purchase a single WML for a variety of different guns. It works on subcompact to full size and puts out 600 lumens in a small package all with a rechargeable magnetic usb cord. I own SureFire and StreamLight WML’s and consider them the (Glock) of lights for reliability with years of consistent and reliable use in all scenarios but Olight is building a great reputation on their own and I think 5-10 years from now they will be looked at in the same light (pun intended) 😁. Best lights for the money you will find especially if you catch their flash sales I have only paid full price for one Olight most were 30%-45% off! By the way my favorite WML for my carry gun G19 Gen 5 MOS is StreamLight TLR-7 but my CZ P10C runs a Olight PL-Mini Valkyrie, G21 a Olight PL-2, Sub2K Olight PL-2RL BALDR, and my AR has a Olight Warrior X with the magnetic pressure switch. PL-Mini Valkyrie 2 doesn’t have a permanent home yet but I’m sure I will find use for it. Great video as always KS 👍🏻

I have two of these, love em

We must be twins, I have all the same lights and pistols. :P I finally got my X-compact today after work, and I can't wait to get it out. I think the PL Mini-2 is perfect, love the adjustability of it! Another great review brother, have a great week!

Thanks to the HD quality of your video I see that the GL (Glock) rail mount adapter is on both the PL-mini and the mini 2. Both of these w/ GL adapter fit ok and work on my M&P 2.0C and my P320 SC. I put the 1913 rail mount adapter on the mini 2 and it now fits my P320 SC perfectly! The mini 2 seems to be more specifically for subcompacts but it's versatility allows it to fit almost any gun with a rail, aesthetics aside? I also have all 3 of these lights and can move them around to different guns but holsters are another matter! 😁 FDE light on a black pistol and vice versa is visually disconcerting and kinda like wearing mismatched socks with high water pants! 😂

I like all of my Olights especially the Valkerie

Have two valkyries and they so far hold up well. I've got a surefire scout on a rifle and a handful of streamlight products too

PL Mini 2 works great on my PPQ M2 SC, M&P9C, Sig P320 SC! Big Olight fan! Best customer service ever!

Will the mini 2 fit my M&P 2 9mm 3.6” barrel ? Great video

Ordered the exact same light for my X Compact! Getting a sweet holster from black point tactical, hopefully it's all I've ever wanted

Say you’re out camping, it’s night, you’ve been using the light to see around, keeping it in your pocket. Before crawling into your bag for the night, you decide to slap it on your pistol. Would it be easier to slide the whole unit on, or leave the mount on the pistol and then attach the light body? The light without mount might feel better in the pocket?

Great job as always.

I want one for my PSA Daggers, however I've yet to find a holster that accepts the light.

Looking for a OWB holster for a P320 compact with the PL Mini 2 . Any suggestions? Thank you!

Any IWB holster suggestions for the 320 X Compact with the O light?

I just bought a brand new one on eBay for $50.00 plus a few dollars shipping. I’m so excited to put this on my XD-S Mod-1!

Can you give the dimensions from where the trigger guard will hit to the front of the light?

Will the PL-MINI 2 fit the sig p356 XL?

@KSGunGuy great video! Looking at getting a gun light and can't decide if I want flush fit or light extending out, what would you recommend? Thank you for great videos

You do not have to push anything to take the light off .... After you flip the lever all you have to do is grab the light and pull one side of the light down .. kind of like a twisting motion ... The spring will allow to light to be pulled off in this way and is made for that.. I have one and love it .. I can just pull the light off the mount if I want a little light with out pointing my gun everywhere and then just slip it back on the mount that can stay on the gun .. it's a great design and a welcome innovation to the light world !!

What holster do you use for the p320 with the olight mini 2

Do you have a holster that fits your p320xcom with the olight?

Did you have to switch out the Glock adapter to a 1319 adapter?

Hey! Curious if you've tried it on the P365, I'm worried the switches would be too low to reach due to the picatinny rail mount attachment adding distance from light to frame

PL 2 Valkerie 1200 lumen is perfect and light weight for pistol caliber carbines and braced pistols w/rails.

What’s the standby time between charges if not used

I bought the "nForce" yes spelled right but crappy tape switch, and not the real InForce either. I got on one of their one day sales, the website was jammed and saw they are a 15 mile drive in Atlanta. I bought two mini Valkrie and a flashlight and was given a keychain and silicone towel because i drove there. The last one day sale i bought the Warrior X with mount and tape switch for my LWRC M6. I also bought the PL2 and have it on my Remington tac13. I bought 5 small flashlights for Christmas stockings. I love the features and boxes. Glad you are recommending them. I think they are Taiwanese, they do not look Chinese.

Finally, a light that may fit my Taurus PT111 Millennium G2. Fingers crossed!

Great video! I've been curious about the Olight. I am a believer in weapon mounted lights since I was charged by a wild boar and was able to defend myself because I had just bought a light. I would have liked a view of how bright the light is in a dark area. Thank you!

Does not mount onto sigp365xl just a heads up

Hi, thanks for video! A couple questions come to mind... is it thicker than the slide on a Glock 9mm?, and what holsters can be used with it!? Also, what battery does it take? Thanks dude!

I’m impressed with mine.

love my pl mini, I will wait for the mini 2 ratchet system on the qd to be proven as i have concerns of it either breaking off/coming off by itself due to qd not being integral

Anyone can suggest a good owb for p320 carry with pl mini light? Thanks

Does it come in black?

How's it holding up?

I'm kind of on the fence with Olight. I'm glad that they're innovating and I hope that it pushes the Big Boys in the lighting industry to step up their game. I want every major manufacturer to create rechargeable lights in the footprint of their CR123A lights. I wish that they would spend less money on Marketing Blitz and focus on putting their products into the hands of as many holster manufacturers as possible. The biggest issue hardware issue for me - besides the lack of holsters - is the QD latch. My PL-Mini latch wiggles a lot and the fact that the design sticks out so much makes it annoying for holster manufacturers. I like it just fine for a bedside option; I just think that there's a lot of room for improvement. I'd rather just have a screw, honestly. Look at what Holosun did with the HS507C. They targeted the primary competitor and made a cheaper option in the same footprint. Light companies should do the same. I don't mind magnetic chargers, but I do wish we'd see some standardization (Olight, Klarus, or various others opening their standard for the benefit of the industry in general). It's just one more proprietary connector to worry about (which is why I think I might prefer a sealed USB-C port on products, going forward).

Hey KS what would you suggest for a carry that is super easy to carry in a t shirt on a day to day that is either da or da/sa. I work where I cant really have a gun so I need to be able to carry something small. I'm thinking revolver but wanted to know if you have any other ideas?

These look real nice. I just wonder if they’re as robust as the competition.

Have the PL mini and it has been working great...nice video!

I really like Olight and I have a couple of the mini II’s but my hope is having a battery option down the road for those models. I’m just not sure I trust the run time and not a fan of having to wait on it to charge. I had one of mine mounted after a full charge for a few weeks and went to use it and only got about 10 minutes out of it. Again I think they make great products, have great customer service and are innovative but I just don’t think I trust the rechargeable set up.

Enjoyed your video review! I have one coming for my new P320 X-Compact.

Thanks ks !!! lol, ordered 1 of each. one for the p10f the other for my springfield subcompact. your videos are getting expensive.

Any combo for the P10c light/holster yet?

yup need it

I have 2, 1 on my CZ p07 EDC and 1 on my Ruger PC carbine.

Will it fit the Px4 Compact Properly?

Got two of them opening night. Great little light. Perfect for Springfield 3.3's.

Anyone make holsters for that xcarry and pl mini 2

That CZ looks like the ruger sr9

Olight makes awesome weapon lights. Another great review KS

The pl mini 2 is real nice......

Like the trigger on that glock

What a tease.. throwing it on the Sig x compact. I see how you are KS Gun Guy

Many companies fail to add strobe. Strobe program feature is easy. A $20 Amazon light has strobe; but Olight has only two or three of the $100+, out of some-40 lights, has a strobe feature?... They could make a click combination on all lights, to enable or disable such feature.

KSGunGuy... I live locally in the Kc metro area. Newer sub but been watching for awhile now. Quick question. Interested in the apex trigger system, any recommendations on a local gunsmith?

I have one and really like it. I mounted it on my new Sig Xcarry compact!! Super review as alway's

O light should make light bearing holsters.

Now that's cool!

👍

Will this work for the Sig P365?

I carry one of them in my pocket everyday

I like their lights....Good info sir....Good stuff...

I know this light is rechargeable what's the life cycle of a small rechargeable battery like this?

Great video. I own the PL-2 Valkyrie in FDE on my FDE Glock 21 gen4 for home Defense. Great light. 😎👍

👍👍

They need one called the Viking and make it more powerful and more rugged.

I have 6 O Lights 3 PL Valkerie's(One FDE) 2 Pl mini's and a PL-2RL BALDR. The BALDR has a Laser/Laser & Light/ 400-1200 lumen setting. Bought all on FLASH SALES so saved a bunch of money and very happy with their products.

I bought one during their flash sale and put it on my wife’s Shield .380 EZ and she loves it.

Nice Review Brother! Carry on

I think Olight makes great products. I have a couple S1R Baton's and a Mini Valkyrie. They all work well. That Mini 2 is pretty slick with the ratchet adjustment. May be my next choice if I buy another weapon light, but I really like the slim profile of the Mini Valkyrie.

I love my olights , batteries stays charged forever , easy on and off and plenty of lumens . AAAND it doesn't break the bank

I have two olights I got on sale and they're worth what I paid on sale. I would not buy them at regular prices at all, there is a marked difference in quality between olight and other brands like streamlight and surefire. Olight is just ok and not a great value if you are buying outside of sales

Olight makes great products. I got a Valkyrie Mini for my 2.0 Compact and a Valkyrie Mini 2 currently on Vp9sk. But looking at the X-Compact, I have a strong feeling the Mini 2 for be on a X-Compact in my future. I wonder if Harry's will have holsters for these olights 🤔

That was cruel KS had my hopes up on the Sig X5 compact review 😂

Why is it every time I watch your videos I wind up spending money?

I got 1 on my G45....Love it, Plenty bright enough esp for home defense cuz some lights can be to bright for home defense. Easy on easy off charging doesnt get any easier....I can't imagine a better light....

I have on for my Beretta PX4 Compact Carry, and it’s perfect. It works on my M&P 9C, and neither of these pistols will take any other high output light. I was using a Streamlight TLR-3, but that’s a clunky low powered light. P.S. The Mini 2 lasts FOREVER. Some rechargeable devices run down with the power off, but not the Olights.

Well, I was about to get it during their big promotion for 40% off. But, it was their own flawed demo showing the competition to be superior, which totally turned-me-off to Olight.

3:32 "i know it doesnt sit flush" doesn't push it flush...

1 minute of 600 lumens then it gets hot and steps down to 60 lumens

Looks like garbage when the light isn't flush with the barrel. Which for you glock guys wouldn't be a problem. After all good looking pistols aren't priority for you guys
