The hard facts for the Inforce Auto Pistol Light (APL) are 200 lumens running at 90 minutes off a CR123 battery. While there is more to it, such as the 2.8 ounce weight, the battery size, run time, and output are what the majority of flashlight users are going to care about. We've had an Inforce APL for awhile now, and have found a few more things we thought were interesting.
We started out using the Inforce APL on a Glock, which seems like a pretty straight forward test for any light. Installation was simple, pull the locking bar down, put the light in the rail, push the locking bar back into place. Its pretty hard for anyone to mess that up. Installation of the battery was also simple. Unscrew the front of the light, insert the CR123 battery with the flat side facing the same direction as the muzzle, and then screw the parts back together. The threads were well machined, it didn't seem too loose or too tight. There was an o-ring just as you would expect to keep things waterproof. The switch on both sides allows for easy activation with either finger. The light is well though out, and quite intuitive in use.
After doing drills with the light on a pistol, we threw it on a carbine, and found IT WORKS JUST AS WELL ON A LONG GUN. Not only that, but we also found that it the switch ears wrap around a M4 front sight base perfectly. If you are a shooter that likes having your carbine light in the 12 o'clock position, this light may have the best ergonomics of any light. While durability is best noted after long term use, we did take the light and throw it down the hallway a few times and found no problems.
