The provisional entry list for the FIA WEC collective test session on 9-10 March at Sebring Raceway has today been revealed. Of the 34 cars due to take the start of the 1000 Miles of Sebring on Friday 15 March, 29 will be using the two-day test to learn the track and how to respect the bumps!
Those not choosing to take part in the official collective test are the two DragonSpeed entries (No.10 in LMP1 and No.31 in LMP2), the two Jackie Chan DC Racing ORECAs from LMP2 and the Corvette Racing LMGTE Pro entry.
DragonSpeed and Jackie Chan DC Racing, however, took part in a private test at the Florida track in early February, together with Toyota Gazoo Racing and Ford Chip Ganassi Team UK. Corvette Racing, a legendary name in North American endurance racing, knows Sebring better than most and has recorded five victories (GTLM) in the last decade alone.
There is just one new driver name on the list, that of BMW’s John Edwards. The American driver will be bringing his considerable Sebring experience to BMW Team MTEK over the two days.

Bengals' Pacman Jones jailed over Cincinnati confrontation
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was jailed Tuesday on four charges including a felony charge that he spit on a nurse after being arrested in downtown Cincinnati, the NFL star's latest brush with the law.
A lawyer representing Jones at his initial court appearance told a judge he "vehemently denies" allegations against him. The Hamilton County judge set bond at $37,500 for Jones and ordered that he submit to a blood test.
The Hamilton County sheriff's office said Jones would remain jailed until the blood test can be performed Wednesday morning. Sheriff Jim Neil said Jones was "disorderly and combative" throughout his booking just after midnight Tuesday morning and had to be put in a restraint chair.
"Whether someone is a professional athlete, a blue collar worker or homeless, our staff will treat them with respect and we expect the same," Neil said in a statement. "Regardless of who they are, if they endanger my deputies, our medical staff or themselves, we will take action."
Court records show Jones, who has a history of trouble with the law during his NFL career, is accused of pushing and poking a man in the eye, then struggling with Cincinnati police officers by head-butting, kicking and refusing to get into the police car. He then allegedly spit on a female nurse's hand while being booked into the jail.
The alleged spitting, following his arrest on misdemeanor charges of assault, disorderly conduct and obstructing official business, resulted in a felony count of harassment with a bodily substance.
A prosecutor said the case began when Jones was pounding on doors at the Millennium Hotel, which is near the Bengals' Paul Brown Stadium. He then allegedly pushed and poked a security guard.
Public Defender Lauren Staley said he "vehemently denies" that he assaulted anyone, and will hire an attorney to contest the charges.
She said Jones, who stood next to her in court nodding in agreement, has witnesses for his defense and had waited for police to arrive to explain what happened.
"They essentially didn't hear his side of the story before placing him under arrest," Staley said.
Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the club is aware of the incident, but by policy, doesn't comment on unresolved legal matters.
Jones will be subject to potential NFL discipline after the case is resolved. Jones' agent didn't respond immediately to a request for comment.
Jones, who played for the Bengals in Sunday's season-ending home victory over Baltimore, has repeatedly had legal issues since making his NFL debut with Tennessee after going to college at West Virginia University.
The Atlanta native was acquitted in 2013 on an assault charge in Hamilton County after a woman accused him of punching her in a nightclub. Earlier that year, he paid a fine for disorderly conduct after police accused him of making offensive comments at a traffic stop. He also pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in January 2012 after an arrest at a Cincinnati bar.
Earlier, Jones pleaded an equivalent of no contest to misdemeanor conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct in a 2007 Las Vegas strip club melee. The Nevada Supreme Court in 2015 upheld lower a civil case decision that he had to pay more than $12.4 million. Jones was blamed for instigating violence that led to the shooting by someone else of two club employees, one left paralyzed from the waist down.
The Titans made Jones the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft, and he started 28 games in his first two seasons. He also played for the Dallas Cowboys, but arrests and suspensions nearly scuttled his career before the Bengals signed him in 2010 and he became a regular starting defensive back and punt returner.
Jones and linebacker Vontaze Burfict were key players in the Bengals' opening-round playoff meltdown last year, when they got late personal fouls that set up Pittsburgh's 18-16 victory on a field goal. After five straight seasons of opening-round losses, the Bengals missed the playoffs this season after finishing 6-9-1.
AP Sports Writer Joe Kay in Cincinnati contributed to this report.

Viewers all know the founding members of the Justice League. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Martian Manhunter work tirelessly to protect the Earth from monsters and villains, but it’s still a tough job for only seven heroes. When they choose to expand the League, many other colorful characters join their ranks.
While their times in the spotlight are fewer than the main seven, these additional superheroes are no less fun to watch. Whether they are entertaining to watch like The Question or their episodes have interesting plotlines like Booster Gold’s, they definitely deserve more appreciation.
While Orion doesn’t appear in many episodes, the background he must contend with is very compelling. He is the biological son of notorious warlord Darkseid. Unlike his brother Kalibak, who is willing to do anything to earn Darkseid’s approval (which the villain makes clear he’s never going to get), Orion hates his father and wants him dead. Far from being upset, Darkseid is proud to have such a fierce and powerful son.
Of course, Darkseid being Darkseid, Orion’s reward for impressing him is torment, on the grounds that it will make him even stronger. Orion’s harsh warrior lifestyle means that he is often unable to relate to Earth’s better-adjusted heroes, such as in the episode “Flash and Substance” where he is baffled by the Flash’s easygoing approach to handling his villains.
Much like one of the most tragic Batman villains, Mr. Freeze, Captain Atom was robbed of his human form during a military experiment gone horribly wrong. Transformed from flesh and blood to a sentient cloud of radiation, he is forced to live in a specialized containment suit to both keep some kind of solid form and to protect everyone around him.
When he became a part of the Justice League, Captain Atom retained his military precision and sense of duty. He also retained his rank of captain and his ties to the Air Force, which causes strife in season 2 when he is ordered by Cadmus to turn on the team. He winds up being no match for Superman, though he didn’t hold back in their fight in the episode “Flashpoint.”
Though Wildcat isn’t on the field himself as often as the other heroes, it’s not for lack of strength and toughness: he is a champion boxer who relies only on the power of one good punch. His heyday may be over, but he is still the best trainer of the new generations of heroes around. He even mentored some of the younger League members, such as Black Canary.
The episode “The Cat and the Canary” delves into the aging hero’s resentment and insecurity about being outdone by stronger, flashier superpowers. He joins an underground cage fighting ring that lets him pummel all the superpowered villains he wants to vent his feelings, but is convinced to quit when Green Arrow fakes his death in a match against him. Despite his gruff exterior, at his core he only wants to do good.
A close ally of Batman even before joining the Justice League, Zatanna is a powerful spell caster. She previously appeared in an episode of Batman: The Animated Series, “Zatanna,” in which she and her father teach Batman escape artistry. Since she’s upgraded to wielding genuine magic, viewers can only assume she learned quite a lot more between series.
She plays a major role in the Unlimited episode “This Little Piggy,” in which she helps Batman figure out how to reverse the curse that has turned Wonder Woman into a pig (long story). In doing so, she not only gets to wail on Circe by levitating tables, chairs, and even a grand piano at her, but is the only superhero in the world who gets to learn about Batman’s secret blues-singing talent.
Black Canary’s sonic scream, dubbed the Canary Cry, is devastatingly powerful, capable of destroying whole buildings by sound alone. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, she prefers the old-fashioned approach to taking on villains: a nonlethal but still solid beatdown.
Like her mentor Wildcat, a traditional boxer, Black Canary does not care much for style or showiness. Her attacks are as quick and to the point as her sharp wit. She loves thrills and adrenaline of all kinds, and approaches heroics with the same reckless zeal she rides her beloved black motorcycle around with.
Like these Arrowverse side characters with main character energy, Justice League Unlimited‘s Green Arrow comes to play a pivotal role on his new team. After their terrifying encounter with their despotic counterparts the Justice Lords in the episode “A Better World,” the seven original members recruited Oliver Queen specifically to be the team’s conscience, to keep them from ever going that far over the edge.
Kind and humble despite his wealthy background, Green Arrow is always willing to provide support to his teammates, whether he is fighting beside them with his trick arrows or being the brutally honest voice they need to hear.
Despite being quite the fish out of water as a literal knight of King Arthur’s court transported to the twenty-first century, Shining Knight still fits right into the Justice League. His courage, determination, and strict moral code let him adapt better than many others to a life of super-heroism. (The enchanted sword and armor do help, though.)
In the episode “Patriot Act,” Shining Knight is hopelessly outmatched by the monstrously mutated General Eiling, but refuses to retreat while there are still civilians in need of protection. Wounded and on the verge of defeat, he still declares, “I’ll die as befits a knight: defending the weak!”
Shining Knight’s opposite in personality and time period of origin, Booster Gold is a superhero from the twenty-fifth century who traveled to the present in the hopes of gaining fame and glory with his futuristic tech. While his powered suit and gear don’t give him quite the advantage he hoped for, the League accepts him anyway.
The episode “The Greatest Story Never Told,” one of Justice League Unlimited‘s best standalone episodes, centers around him. Nothing seems to go right for Booster as he struggles with the unglamorous parts of the job, but by the end of the day, he accepts that selfless heroism is its own reward. It’s a great episode for highlighting the mundane but essential work that the newest Leaguers do.
Certainly not to be confused with Supergirl, Stargirl is a human teenager whose powers come from the Cosmic Staff she wields, which allows her to fight crime alongside her mecha-piloting stepfather Pat Dugan, also known as S.T.R.I.P.E. Her character arc focuses on her learning to put helping others above her own ego.
The episode “Chaos at the Earth’s Core” puts this journey front and center, when she is forced to work with a depowered Supergirl. While Supergirl gets a good look at what she was like before she became more experienced in hero work, Stargirl must get over her jealousy of Supergirl and learn to cooperate. By the end of the episode, the pair go from bickering to beginning to become friends.
The Question is undoubtedly an odd fellow, his behavior often bewildering his fellow League members. A socially awkward conspiracy theorist, he spends his spare time investigating mysteries, determining the sinister true purpose behind aglets, and, by his own admission, going through everyone’s trash.
Batman, often called the World’s Greatest Detective, admits that the Question’s deductive skills are superior to even his own. His utter lack of logic and sense let him find trails that there were absolutely zero clues to. The only way to beat him is to be even more outrageous, as demonstrated by one of the DCAU’s best villains: the Question didn’t anticipate that Lex Luthor’s presidential campaign wasn’t to gain power, it was solely to tick Superman off.

Russia Supports Anti-Terrorist Forces
by Stephen Lendman
On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party of Turkey (HDP) co-chairman Selahattin Demirtas in Moscow.
Ahead of his arrival, the Kurdish leader said he’d be discussing “recent tension between Turkey and Russia. Many people, many businesspeople and students, are affected by this tension.”
Erdogan “closed all doors (to improving relations). We are effective, and we want to use our power.” HDP plans “open(ing) a party office in Moscow,” Demirtas said.
His party was founded in 2012, combining several left-wing groups – including supporters of equal rights for women and gays, secularists, anti-capitalists and environmentalists, putting it at odds with Erdogan’s agenda.
He accused HDP of fronting for the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), fighting for Kurdish self-determination since the mid-1980s, wrongfully designated a terrorist group by Turkish, US, and other NATO authorities.
Demirtas forthrightly opposes Erdogan’s lawlessness, calling him and his minions “murderers. Your hand is bloody. Blood has splattered from your face, your mouth to your nails and all over you. You are the biggest supporters of terror.”
In Moscow before meeting with Demirtas, Lavrov said Russia will actively cooperate with all forces involved in combating the scourge of terrorism.
He looked forward to discussing regional issues with the Kurdish leader, he said. “As part of the efforts of the international community to resolve the Syrian crisis, it is crucially important to bring together the opportunities of all those who aim at resolutely fighting against terrorism,” he stressed.
“We know that Iraqi and Syrian Kurds are confronting the threat of ISIS and other extremist groups ‘on the ground’ with weapons in their hands. They, together with the army of Iraq (and) army of Syria are fighting for their homes, for the right to live on their land.”
“This is their inalienable right, just as the rights of Christians, Yazidis and other minorities to remain on the lands of their ancestors and not to be subjected to deadly threats from terrorists.”
“Russia, being involved in the anti-terrorist coalition in Syria at the request of the Syrian government, is ready to actively support the forces on the ground who are countering this threat,” Lavrov explained.
On Tuesday, Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu criticized Demirtas’ Moscow visit, saying:
“Turkey is a free country (sic). Everyone can go wherever they want and meet whoever they like. There are no problems with that. But why didn’t they go two months ago, a year ago?”
“Instead of moving together with the Turkish people, they prefer to establish cooperation with someone we have problems with.”
Sputnik News cited Moscow-based analyst Sergei Demidenko, saying Russia wants to maintain relations with Turkish people regardless of who’s in power.
Demidenko stressed its objective “to cooperate with political forces in Turkey, which we believe are more progressively-minded and willing to negotiate.”
Moscow-based analyst Boris Dolgov called contacts between Russia’s Foreign Ministry and Erdogan’s political opponents politically sound.
He expects no Ankara/Moscow warming as long as Erdogan remains in power – a hugely negative force, a major detriment to regional peace and security, besides enormous harm done to the Turkish people.

Nice Place Posted Sep 6, 2013
The property is well kept and the employees all seemed friendly. The room was very clean and spacious. It had a living room area with a door, which was nice since we were traveling with our 4 year old son. It was nice to have a fridge and microwave in the room. Parking was fairly close to the room. We went to Disney Magic Kingdom, Sea World, and Legoland on this visit. Caribe Royale is centrally located to a lot of restaurants and the major highways/roads that travelers need to access. My son loved the kids pool/splash area, and he also had hours of fun on the slide in the regular pool. The parrot was cool, and an employee that was taking the parrot in for the night stopped and let my son take a picture with him - very cool! We never ate at the property, so I can't speak for the on-site restaurants. There's also a neat arcade, though we just looked inside and didn't have time to try out the room or the pool table inside of Tower 1. The only items that bugged me were that you are charged for local phone calls. We brought our cell phones with us, but it seems a little bit like nickle and diming customers. Also, the business center charges $0.69 per minute to use the internet. I decided not to bring our laptop because I wanted to encourage family quality time rather than Facebook and checking my email 10 times a day, but it would've been a better deal to bring it and pay for the daily rate than to use the on-site business center. I only needed to print off Sea World tickets, which cost me $3 approx. Not a huge expense, but it adds up - remember to print off park tickets at home before you arrive. Buying at the park is much more expensive and the lines are crazy. We waited to buy our tickets until arrival just to be certain the weather cooperated on the days we wanted to go. Perhaps they do this to encourage using their Expedia desk, but those tickets are really not the best deal and often they try to push you into a timeshare presentation over at the neighboring Sheraton. Anyway, long story short, Wifi access should be free in every hotel in 2013. All things considered, when we decide to brave Disney again, we will definitely consider staying at Caribe Royale again.

Being able to see while using your pistol is critical to ensure you can identify your target and potentially de-escalate situations easily.
Lights are critical for everyone to see in low light and nighttime scenarios. We have compiled a list for you to consider the best handgun light for your application.
Best Pistol Lights of 2023
Surefire X300 Ultra
The Surefire X300 Ultra is a powerful weapon light introduced to the consumer market in August 2018.
It is the successor to the popular Surefire X300 and is compatible with a wide range of firearms.
The X300 Ultra emits a yellowish-green spectrum of light that is easier on the eyes, and it has a maximum output of 1000 lumens and 11,300 candela. It is controlled by ambidextrous push-in paddles that can be programmed for momentary or constant-on function.
It has a runtime of 1.25 hours on two 123A lithium batteries and is water-resistant enough to survive 30 minutes underwater at a meter depth.
The Surefire X300 Ultra is a powerful and versatile weapon light ideal for armed professionals needing a reliable and durable firearm.
While it may be relatively expensive and not ideal for concealed carry, its compatibility with a wide range of holsters and firearms, powerful output, and water-resistant design make it a solid choice for those needing a dependable weapon light.
The Surefire X300 Ultra solves the problem of insufficient lighting for firearms by providing a powerful and reliable source of light that can illuminate even the darkest of environments.
The Streamlight TLR-1 pistol light is a highly recommended accessory for gun owners who prioritize accuracy, visibility, and ease of use. It is a full-size pistol light designed for full-sized handguns, with the option of being mounted to rifles with the rifle kit.
The TLR-1 comes in 300-lumen and 800-lumen models for home defense or duty use, and the TLR-1 HL packs a powerful 1000-lumen output.
The TLR-1 is built with durable aluminum construction and is shock and dustproof. It is also IPX7 rated, which is the rating for submerging in water.
The intuitive ambidextrous switch is easy to operate, even for first-time pistol light users, and the TLR-1 features up to three main modes, permanently on, momentary on, and strobe.
The TLR-1’s beam is wider, filling your vision at shorter ranges and giving you excellent situational vision, making searching and detecting threats easier and more rapid.
It attaches and detaches quickly without tools and is relatively simple to use. The TLR-1 also comes with several different rail keys, giving you options for every oddball rail system that manufacturers use.
The benefits of the Streamlight TLR-1 are clear. Its powerful output and wide beam pattern provide increased visibility and accuracy in low-light situations, making it an ideal accessory for home defense or duty use.
The TLR-1’s compatibility with a wide range of pistols and its easy installation process make it an accessible option for gun owners looking to improve their shooting experience.
The Streamlight TLR-2 is a popular pistol light and laser combo that offers a range of features to suit various needs.
Its compact size of 3.9 inches makes it a great fit for full-sized and many compact pistols, including the Glock 19 and Glock 17.
The TLR-2 comes in several models, including the basic 300-lumen light with a red laser, an 800-lumen high-lumens model with a strobe feature, and a green laser model.
The TLR-2 HL is a favorite for its brightness and ability to temporarily blind attackers. The light is also waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes and has a limited lifetime warranty.
The Streamlight TLR-2 is a great option for those seeking a high-quality pistol light and laser combo.
Its brightness, durability, and ease of use make it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor use.
While it may be more expensive than some other options, it is still more affordable than comparable Surefire models with lasers.
Additionally, its ability to attach to a long gun with a picatinny key adds versatility to its use.
The Streamlight TLR-2 is recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, versatile pistol light and laser combo.
Surefire X400 Ultra
The Surefire X400 is a rugged and reliable weapon light that is highly regarded in the industry.
It features a 1,000-lumen LED output with a runtime of 1.25 hours on two 123A batteries.
The light comes with a red or green laser and a focused 1.125-inch or wider 1.25-inch diameter bezel.
The controls are ambidextrous push toggles with momentary or constant on function, and the light fits standard rails and includes adapters for proprietary rail systems.
Although it is more suited for use on duty handguns, the X400 can also be used on long guns with a remote switch system.
While the MSRP is $599, the X400 is a worthy investment for those looking for a bulletproof light that works on multiple platforms.
The Streamlight TLR-7 is a compact pistol light designed for use with compact and sub-compact frame handguns. It features a lightweight construction and is available in the TLR-8 model, which includes a laser.
The TLR-7 has a brightness of 500 lumens and runs on one CR123A battery, with a battery life of 1.5 hours.
It weighs 2.4 oz and has a length of 2.58 in. The TLR-7 is made of durable, anodized machined aluminum and has an IPX7 waterproof rating.
The design and build quality of the Streamlight TLR-7 are impressive. Its slim and compact design makes it an excellent choice for concealed carry, and the rail grip clamp system securely attaches/detaches quickly and safely without tools.
The TLR-7’s custom optic produces a concentrated beam with optimum peripheral illumination, making it ideal for nighttime operations.
The ambidextrous on/off switch and user-enabled strobe function add to its versatility.
The advantages of the Streamlight TLR-7 include its lightweight design, an optional model with a laser, and customizable activation levers.
The TLR-7 also has a durable construction and a secure attachment system that fits a broad range of full-sized and compact guns.
However, its odd battery size may be a disadvantage for some users, and it is not well-suited for full-size model handguns.
Additionally, its brightness of 500 lumens may be lower than other modern pistol flashlights.
Overall, the Streamlight TLR-7 is an effective and reliable compact pistol light that is perfect for use with compact and sub-compact frame handguns.
Its slim and compact design, durable construction, and customizable activation levers make it an excellent choice for concealed carry and nighttime operations.
The Streamlight TLR-8 pistol light is a powerful and versatile addition to any handgun that sets it apart from other similar products in the market.
This compact pistol light features a bright LED light that provides excellent visibility in low-light conditions, making it easy to confidently aim your handgun at targets.
Additionally, the TLR-8 is easy to install and enhances accuracy in low-light shooting situations due to its easy-to-use controls.
Here are some key features of the Streamlight TLR-8 pistol light:
- Compact design
- Bright LED light
- Easy-to-use controls
- Laser option available
- Durable construction
The Streamlight TLR-8 pistol light is an affordable option that offers a long battery life, making it a reliable choice for any shooter.
Its durable construction ensures that it can withstand drops and other impacts without losing functionality, making it a great investment for anyone who wants a dependable pistol light.
Despite its many benefits, the Streamlight TLR-8 pistol light has some drawbacks. Its battery options are limited, which may be an issue for some shooters.
It may not fit all pistol models, so it’s essential to check compatibility before purchasing.
Overall, the Streamlight TLR-8 pistol light is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their existing pistol or buy a new one.
Its compact design, bright LED light, and easy-to-use controls make it a top contender for the best pistol light of 2023.
If you want to experience the benefits of the Streamlight TLR-8 pistol light for yourself, I urge you to try it out and see how it enhances your shooting experience.
Olight PL-Mini 2 Valkyrie
The Olight PL-Mini 2 Valkyrie pistol light is a popular and affordable alternative to the Streamlight TLR-7.
It boasts a bright light at a lower price point and features a nice heft and build quality, with a quick detach option that avoids the need for a flathead.
The activation buttons are easy to use, and the rail placement can be adjusted to fit virtually any handgun.
The 600-lumen light has a bluer spectrum and a wide-angle throw, and the internal USB-charged battery is unique but may be a blessing or a curse depending on usage.
Olight PL-Mini 2 Valkyrie is a great value for those looking for an affordable and functional pistol light, but those planning low-light courses may want to reconsider due to the battery limitations.

Surefire X300T-A Turbo
The Surefire X300T-A Turbo pistol light is a top choice for military and police units due to its high lumens and candela, providing great visibility for long distances and excellent spill on the edges.
This pistol light uses the same housing as the previous X300 models, making it compatible with legacy X300 holsters.
The X300T-A Turbo generates a tightly focused 66,000-candela beam pattern out to 100 yards, illuminating targets with spill to help maintain situational awareness outside the hot spot.

The tightly focused beam provides less spill to peripheral areas, but the product solves the problem of drastically increasing weapon-mounted lights’ candela rating.
Choosing a Pistol Light
Now it’s time to cover some of the most important aspects of picking our pistol flashlight.
Outputs and Lumens
Outputs and lumens are one of the most popular ways to gauge a flashlight’s “power”.
Two terms are important to know and understand before purchasing your pistol flashlight: “candela” and “lumen.” Many people often use the terms interchangeably, but that is incorrect.
Lumen is used to quantify the overall brightness of a light source and is helpful when comparing different light bulbs, lamps, or light fixtures for general illumination purposes.
Candela is employed when evaluating the brightness of a light source in a particular direction, which is crucial in applications where focused or directional lighting is needed.
The easy way to understand the difference is to think of lumen as “total output” and candela as “output in a specific direction.
Light Beam Pattern
The beam pattern refers to how the light is projected and can significantly impact the effectiveness of the light in different situations.
Three main types of beam patterns are available for pistol lights: flood, spot, and combination beams.
Flood beams provide a wide illumination field and are ideal for close-range situations where a broad area needs to be illuminated.
This beam pattern is great for indoor use or situations where you need to identify potential threats in your surroundings quickly.
However, flood beams may not be as effective at longer distances and can potentially wash out the hotspot of the beam.
On the other hand, spot beams provide a concentrated beam of light that can reach longer distances. This beam pattern is great for outdoor use or for identifying targets at a distance.
However, spot beams may not be as effective in close-range situations or when you need to illuminate a larger area.
Combination beams offer the best of both worlds by providing both flood and spot capabilities.
This beam pattern is ideal for those who need a versatile light that can be effective in a variety of situations.
However, combination beams may be more expensive and may not perform as well as specialized beams in specific situations.
In summary, when choosing a pistol light, it is essential to consider the light beam pattern that will best suit your needs.
Flood beams are great for close-range situations, spot beams are ideal for long-range use, and combination beams offer versatility.
By understanding each beam pattern’s characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, you can make an informed decision and choose the right pistol light for your specific needs.
Weight and Size
When considering the weight and size of a pistol light, there are several factors to keep in mind.
First, it’s important to consider the primary use of the gun and whether the added weight and bulk of a larger light will affect its performance.
Second, the size of the light should match the size of the handgun.
Full-size lights are best suited for full-sized guns, while compact and subcompact lights are designed to fit smaller handguns.
Third, it’s essential to consider personal comfort and preference, as some people may not notice the added weight of a light, while others may find it cumbersome.
Ultimately, the weight and size of a pistol light can affect the handling and performance of the gun, so it’s crucial to choose a light that matches the specific needs and preferences of the user.
Runtime and Battery Life
When choosing a pistol light, there are several factors to consider in terms of runtime and battery life.
A pistol light with a longer battery life rating is much more practical than one with a shorter battery life rating.
This is because it ensures you can use your pistol light for multiple hours within a single night without needing to charge or replace the batteries.
The runtime of a pistol light is also an important factor to consider.
This refers to how long the pistol light will stay on before it needs to be recharged or have its batteries replaced.
The longer the runtime, the better, as it allows you to use your pistol light for extended periods without interruption.
If your pistol light is rechargeable, it is important to consider the charging time.
The shorter the charging time, the better, as it allows you to quickly recharge your pistol light and be ready to use it again.
The type of battery used in your pistol light can also affect its runtime and battery life. Lithium-ion batteries are popular as they offer longer runtimes and a longer lifespan than other battery types.
The power output of a pistol light determines its brightness levels.
A higher power output usually means a brighter light, but it can also drain the battery faster. Finding a balance between the power output and battery life is important.
When choosing a pistol light, it is important to consider the factors of battery life rating, runtime, charging time, battery type, and power output.
These factors can greatly affect the performance of the pistol light and how long it can be used for.
By carefully considering these factors, you can find a pistol light that meets your needs and provides reliable performance when you need it most.
Comfort and Ergonomics
Comfort and ergonomics are crucial factors to consider.
A poorly designed or uncomfortable pistol light can hinder your ability to use it effectively and can be dangerous in a high-stress situation.
Here are some key factors to keep in mind when considering the comfort and ergonomics of a pistol light:
- Reachability: One of the most important aspects of a pistol light’s ergonomics is how easily you can reach and activate the on/off switch. Make sure the switch is located in a spot that is easy to access and operate, even if you are using your non-dominant hand. You don’t want to have to fumble around to turn on your light in a high-pressure situation.
- Grip: The grip of your pistol light should be comfortable and secure. It should be easy to hold onto, even if your hands are sweaty or wet. Look for a pistol light with a grip texture that feels good in your hand and won’t slip.
- Size and weight: A pistol light that is too heavy or bulky can throw off the balance of your handgun and make it harder to aim accurately. On the other hand, a light that is too small may not be comfortable to hold or may not provide enough illumination. Make sure to choose a pistol light that is appropriately sized for your handgun and fits comfortably in your hand.
- Modes: Some pistol lights have different modes, such as strobe or low-light settings. Please ensure you are comfortable switching between these modes and that they are easy to access when needed.
- Compatibility with holsters: If you plan on using a holster with your pistol light, ensure the light is compatible with your holster. Some pistol lights are designed to fit specific holsters, so check before making a purchase.
Considering these factors, you can ensure that you have a pistol light that will be effective and comfortable to use in any situation.
The attachment option determines how securely the light will be mounted to your pistol, how easy it is to install, and how versatile it is in compatibility with different firearms.
Rail mounts – The most common attachment option for pistol lights is a rail mount.
This involves attaching the light to the rail system on the bottom of the pistol. Rail mounts are easy to install and provide a secure attachment.
They are also versatile since most modern pistols come with a rail system.
Popular pistol lights that use rail mounts include the Streamlight TLR-1 HL and the Surefire X300 Ultra.
Trigger guard mounts – Trigger guard mounts are a good option for pistols without a rail system.
These mounts attach to the trigger guard of the pistol and provide a secure attachment for the light.
However, they can be less stable than rail mounts and limit the types of pistols the light can use.
An example of a popular pistol light that uses a trigger guard mount is the Streamlight TLR-6.
Choosing the right attachment option for your pistol light is important based on your specific needs.
A rail mount is likely the best option if your pistol has a rail system.
If your pistol doesn’t have a rail system, a trigger guard mount or barrel mount may be necessary.
Consider the pros and cons of each attachment option before making a final decision.
Light Settings and Controls
When selecting the appropriate light settings and controls for a pistol light, there are several key factors to consider.
Brightness of the light, should be measured in candela rather than lumens for optimal intensity.
Considering the quality and balance of the hotspot and spill in the beam is important.
Next, the controls of the light should be easily activated but offer some resistance to prevent accidental activation.
Choosing a light that the trigger finger can activate is also recommended.
Lastly, the strobe function and ease of use should be considered.
Selecting the right light settings and controls for a pistol light can enhance your shooting experience by providing effective target identification and situational awareness in low light conditions.
It’s important to find a holster that can accommodate both your gun and your light to ensure a secure and safe fit.
Here are some factors to consider when evaluating holster compatibility:
- Type of holster: When looking for a holster, it’s important to consider the type of holster you prefer. Many options are available, such as outside the waistband (OWB), inside the waistband (IWB), ankle, shoulder, and pocket holsters. Make sure the holster you choose is designed to fit your specific light and gun combination.
- Position of the light on the pistol: The position of the light on the pistol can affect holster compatibility. Some lights sit flush with the barrel, while others may protrude from the side or bottom of the gun. It’s important to choose a holster that can accommodate the specific position of your light.
- Size and shape of the light: The size and shape of your pistol light can also impact holster compatibility. Some lights are larger or bulkier than others, which may require a specific holster design. Additionally, lights with unique shapes may not fit into certain holsters.
When evaluating holster compatibility, it’s essential to consider all of these factors to ensure a proper fit.
Choosing a holster that is specifically designed for your pistol light will not only ensure a secure fit but also protect the trigger and light activation switch.
This is especially important for those who carry their pistol concealed, as a properly fitting holster will minimize the overall profile of the firearm.
In conclusion, when choosing a pistol light, it’s important to consider holster compatibility.
Factors such as the type of holster, position of the light on the pistol, and size and shape of the light should all be considered. Doing so can ensure a secure and safe fit for your pistol light and firearm combination.
Price and Budget
When it comes to choosing a pistol light, price and budget considerations are important factors to keep in mind.
While it’s tempting to go for the cheapest option available, it’s important to remember that you get what you pay for.
A high-quality pistol light will generally cost more, but it is worth the investment for its reliability and performance.
Here are some factors to consider when determining your budget for a pistol light:
- Intended Use: The first factor to consider is how you plan to use the pistol light. If it is for personal defense or duty purposes, investing in a high-quality light that is bright, reliable, and durable is essential. On the other hand, if it is for casual use or target shooting, a more affordable option may suffice.
- Quality: The quality of the light is another important factor to consider. A high-quality light will be made with durable materials and have a longer lifespan, while a cheaper light may break easily or malfunction.
- Additional Features or Accessories: Many pistol lights have additional features or accessories, such as strobe functions, laser sights, and rechargeable batteries. While these features can be useful, they also add to the cost of the light. Consider which features are necessary for your intended use and budget accordingly.
Ultimately, it’s important to find a balance between cost and quality when choosing a pistol light.
Remember, a pistol light is an investment in your safety and the safety of those around you, so it’s worth taking the time to choose the right one.
A good warranty can provide you with peace of mind and protect your investment in case of any defects or malfunctions.
In assessing the warranty, there are several factors you should consider. Firstly, the length of the warranty is crucial. While most pistol lights come with a 1-year warranty, it is advisable to look for longer warranty periods such as 5 years or even a lifetime warranty.
Secondly, you should check the coverage of the warranty. Some warranties may only cover defects in materials and workmanship, while others may cover damage caused by normal use.
Pistol lights are a crucial accessory for gun owners, as they provide an illuminated view of the target in low-light conditions, which enhances accuracy and safety.
In this FAQ section, we will answer some common questions about the best pistol lights of 2023.
What makes a pistol light good?
A good pistol light should have the following features:
- Brightness: The light should be bright enough to illuminate the target without causing any glare or reflection.
- Durability: The light should be rugged and durable, able to withstand recoil and other harsh conditions.
- Size: The light should be compact and lightweight, so it doesn’t add much weight or bulk to the firearm.
- Battery life: The light should have a long or rechargeable battery.
- Easy to operate: The light should be easy to turn on and off, with simple controls that don’t require much dexterity.
What are the top brands to consider?
There are several top brands to consider when choosing a pistol light, including:
- Sig Sauer
- Crimson Trace
What are the differences between a weapon light and a handheld flashlight?
A weapon light is specifically designed to be mounted onto a firearm, while a handheld flashlight is not.
A weapon light is more compact and streamlined, with a more focused beam of light that is aligned with the bore of the firearm.
This allows for more accurate targeting and less chance of blinding the user or bystanders.
A handheld flashlight, on the other hand, is more versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes, but may not be as effective in a self-defense situation.
How do I choose the right pistol light for my firearm?
Choosing the right pistol light depends on several factors, including the intended use, the type of firearm, and personal preferences. Here are some things to consider:
- Intended use: Will you be using the light for self-defense, hunting, or target shooting? This will determine the brightness and other features you need.
- Type of firearm: Not all pistol lights are compatible with all firearms, so make sure to choose a light that is designed for your specific model.
- Personal preferences: Do you prefer a rechargeable battery or replaceable batteries? Do you want a light with a laser sight or without? These are all personal preferences that can influence your decision.
By considering the features of a good pistol light, considering top brands, understanding the differences between weapon lights and handheld flashlights, and evaluating personal preferences, you can make an informed decision.
However, it’s essential to do your own research and read reviews before purchasing to ensure that you are getting the best pistol light for your needs.
How do pistol lights compare to laser sights?
Pistol lights and laser sights are two popular firearm accessories that can improve shooting accuracy and visibility in low-light situations.
Pistol lights are mounted on the rail of the pistol and provide a bright light source to identify targets and offer two-handed shooting.
On the other hand, laser sights project a laser beam onto the target to improve accuracy. When comparing the two, there are several differences to consider. Pistol lights are generally more functional and versatile than laser sights, as they can also be used as a regular flashlight.
However, laser sights offer greater accuracy and can be especially useful for quick target acquisition.
Cost is also a factor, with pistol lights generally being more affordable than laser sights.
The choice between a pistol light and a laser sight depends on the shooter’s needs and preferences, as both options have advantages and drawbacks.
Are pistol lights suitable for use with all handguns?
Pistol lights are a valuable addition to firearms, especially for use in low-light situations.
However, not all handguns are compatible with all pistol lights.
Several factors determine whether a pistol light is suitable for use with a particular handgun, including the size and weight of the handgun, the type of rail on the handgun, and the mounting options available for the pistol light.
Handguns with Picatinny rails or accessory rails are more likely to be compatible with a wider range of pistol lights.
Some subcompact pistols may not have enough rail space to accommodate a standard light and may require a smaller light that clamps to the trigger guard. I
While pistol lights are a valuable addition to firearms, their compatibility with handguns depends on several factors that should be considered before purchasing a pistol light.
What is the warranty on the best pistol lights in 2023?
When considering the best pistol lights of 2023, it is important to check the included warranty to ensure durability and long-term usage. Most pistol lights come with a 1-year long warranty, but some offer longer warranty periods such as 5 years or even lifetime warranty options. Additionally, it is recommended to look for durability ratings like IPX5 or IPX6 water resistance ratings as a higher rating offers better protection against water damage. Overall, checking the warranty and durability ratings can help ensure that you choose a pistol light that will last and perform well over time.

The normal contact force is not allowed to become larger then cohesion in tension (positive values of ). If it would become larger, then the contact is broken, a gap is assumed and the contact force is put to 0. To have really a positive for extension of the contact spring, the order of the two nodes as specified in the element record for the contact spring should be correct.
Notice that when you use control_mesh_generate_contactspring to obtain the contact spring elements, you are not sure what the first and what the second node of an element will be, and thus you should not use this group_contactspring_cohesion record. Otherwise, it is not important what you use as first and second node, so that control_mesh_generate_contactspring can be used safely.
If this group_contactspring_cohesion is not specified, infinite cohesion is assumed.

Angel Hubble adjusts a garment at Tuni in Winter Park recently.… (George Skene, Orlando Sentinel )
Small-business owners in Orlando hope consumers set aside a little cash from their Black Friday binge this week and spend it the next day on what's known as Small Business Saturday.
For the third year in a row, small retailers in Orlando are planning to participate in the buy-local holiday started by American Express.
The goal is to promote shopping at small businesses, and the charge-card company encourages that by giving a $25 credit to registered cardholders who spend at least that amount at qualifying small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Several of Central Florida's Main Street Districts plan to roll out the welcome mat — literally — with American Express "Shop Small" doormats placed outside stores. Some merchants plan giveaways or discounts in addition to the credit-card company's deal.
"Most of it is just awareness-building," said Pauline Eaton, Orlando's Main Street program coordinator. "Trying to compete with Cyber Monday and Black Friday is really difficult. Trying to get the word out that there's another choice out there — that's pretty much the gist of the entire program."
A national survey by American Express and the National Federation of Independent Businesses found that about half of independent merchants plan to incorporate Small Business Saturday into their holiday-season strategy. The majority said they will offer discounts on the day dedicated to what has been dubbed "shopping small."
Locally, many retail districts were still firming up details last week, but the pieces were starting to come together ahead of the event.
Funky Monkey Vault on Mills Avenue in Orlando will set aside its standard closed-on-Saturday policy and offer free wine tastings and special prices.
At Infusion Tea in Orlando's College Park neighborhood, customers who buy a $25 gift card will get a $5 card for themselves. Nearby, shoppers will be able to sample baked brie and cobblers at Annabelle Hart while they peruse jewelry and watches at 25 percent off.
"Almost every store along Edgewater Drive will be offering something," said Andrea Kudlacz, executive director of the College Park Partnership.
On Park Avenue in Winter Park, clothing retailer Tuni will match the $25 offer from American Express with a $25 gift card to be used another day.
"It's a good marketing tool for us," said owner Paige Blackwelder. "It gets customers back in our store again."
But Small Business Saturday isn't the only event that local business owners rely on to get the holiday shoppers out in force. Many of the city's Main Street Districts have long-running traditions of hosting holiday events to lure shoppers from the big-box stores to their locally owned businesses.
At Orlando's Ivanhoe Village, the long-running "Jingle Eve" was held during the weekend, featuring live music, food trucks and a boat parade on Lake Ivanhoe.
David Harmon, owner of Harmon Photo, said last week he hadn't yet turned his attention to Small Business Saturday. Instead, he was preparing to offer free 5-by-7 photos with Santa as part of the Jingle Eve open house.
"It's a big deal for the neighborhood," he said.
And some shops are forgoing Small Business Saturday altogether.
"This year, the businesses wanted to do something on Black Friday," said Jennifer Marvel, interim executive director for the Audubon Park Garden District.
Retailers settled on a "receipt exchange," where customers who make a purchase at one store in the district can bring their receipt to the another merchant for a discount or freebie at that shop, Marvel said.

Spooks of the SenatePosted: December 10, 2014
The Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA interrogations is a moment for reflection, but not for the reasons you’re hearing. The outrage at this or that ugly detail is politically convenient. The report is more important for illustrating how fickle Americans are about their security, and so unfair to those who provide it.
“The report’s greatest offense is its dishonest treatment of political accountability. The authors portray a rogue CIA operating without legal authority and hiding information from Congress, the public and even President Bush. This charge is rebutted even by current CIA director John Brennan , who otherwise dries his predecessors out to hang.”
After the trauma of 9/11 and amid the anthrax letters in 2001, Americans wanted protection from another terror attack. The political class fired up a commission to examine what went wrong so it “would never happen again.” So the CIA, blamed for not stopping 9/11, tried to oblige. It captured the plotters, detained and interrogated them—sometimes harshly. There hasn’t been another successful al Qaeda plot on the homeland.
“Ms. Feinstein has had an admirable career, so it is a shame to see her mar her legacy with this one-sided report. Mr. Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper are also not profiles in courage, issuing everyone-has-a-point statements while endorsing release of the report. Better leaders would have resigned for the morale of their agencies…”
But political memories are short. As the Iraq war became unpopular, the anti-antiterror left fought back. Democrats who sensed a political opening began to fault the details of how the CIA and Bush Administration had protected the country—on surveillance, detention and interrogation. Dianne Feinstein and Carl Levin, the lead Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, unleashed their staff to second-guess the CIA.
“Then there is President Obama, who issued his own have-it-both-ways statement that condemned the Bush-era practices but extolled our intelligence services. He could have taken executive responsibility by having Mr. Brennan issue his own report or release the one done by former CIA director Leon Panetta , but that would have meant more personal political risk. Better to leave the public wet work to Senate staff.”
That’s the context in which to understand the Senate report, which reads like a prosecutor’s brief. It devotes 6,000 pages to marshalling evidence to indict the CIA program, and nothing was going to interfere with its appointed verdict.
Not former CIA directors, who weren’t even interviewed (see the op-ed nearby). Not the virtues of bipartisanship, as the GOP minority staff were reduced to bystanders (see the minority report). And not the requirements of future security, which have been sacrificed to the immediate need to embarrass the agency to prove that Democrats were right.
The worst CIA failing in the report is poor management and a lack of adequate oversight. Junior officials were put in charge of detainees when wiser hands were needed, and in one case a detainee died from hypothermia. This may have resulted from the rapid CIA recruitment after 9/11, but it is a major failing, especially given the political backlash that CIA leaders knew was inevitable.
The report also uncovers rough methods that are now barred, though how shocking those are may depend on how you view the terrorist threat. The executive summary scores the CIA for using “in many cases the most aggressive techniques” immediately, in combination and nonstop….(read more)

My experiences working and studying in a variety of cities throughout my twenties and a long-running interest in African politics led me to the discipline of geography in the first place. I am an urban geographer mainly interested in the politics of urban governance and development. Cities are vital sites for the remaking of social and material infrastructures and I attend to the practitioners that do this work.
My dissertation project focuses on the politics of planning in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Though "slum" infrastructures have long characterized its urban fabric, Addis Ababa is steadily being reordered through new investments, a variety of transnational flows, and state programs of massive redevelopment. Within this transformative and ambivalent period, I explore the work lives of planners who advance renewal programs on core urban land. As planning becomes a standard (if contested) practice of governing urban lives and landed property, it regrounds urban questions of class, citizenship and of the influence of party/political ideology. The project draws on "low theory" convergences of socio-legal studies, postcolonial studies, Marxism and new African urbanisms. With support from a Fulbright-Hays DDRA Fellowship and an affiliation with the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at the Addis Ababa University, I completed the fieldwork stage of this project in 2015. Now I am writing. My dissertation commitee includes Dr. Steve Herbert (Chair), Dr. Ben Gardner, Dr. Lucy Jarosz, and Dr. Victoria Lawson.
My door is open to students, scholars, planners, policymakers, activists, urbanists, and others!
