This supporting hand, fingers-free strobing light effective?

[daddySEAL]

In looking for a strobing (and full on/off) supporting hand light, I came across this one:
http://www.first-light-usa.com/tomahawkst.php

It is the "little brother" to a newer (non-strobing) supporting hand "fingersfree" light that is being advertised for more money.
( http://www.first-light-usa.com/liberatormain.php )

Does anyone know about these "Tomahawk ST's"?
Are they bright enough in strobe mode to disorient a potential bad-guy for a few seconds? (120 lumens)

I'm looking for a supporting hand "fingers free" unit that will be effective and trouble free....if I want to support my gun hand, or if not, when I need it for low light recognition in self defense situations. If i don't want the guy to "knew exactly" where I am....I could hold it away from me and my firing hand.

Anyone know about these?
(and if "worthy", a place to get a little more discount on them?)

Looks like it would make you a good target.

Why is my question. Just get a light that mounts to your weapon....

You can shine lights on people in situations where pointing a gun at them would get you in a lot of trouble.

I can't necessarily point a gun at somebody for just being in my backyard at night, but I doubt you'll find a judge anywhere that considers it unreasonable to focus every bit of electric daylight I can muster on them to see what's going on. If that happens to disorient them and give me a tactical advantage if the situation turns ugly, then that's just a bonus.

Strobes are even better; every try to track a single, bright strobe when it's moving erratically?

True but I've always had a weapon mounted light and a hand held light available at least at my home. Also if it's dark all they will see is a light. So how would they know a weapon was attached to it?

They won't, but you'll be violating rule #2, by pointing the muzzle at something you don't (as yet) intend to destroy.

[gregthehand]

I've always heard it as pointing it at something your "not willing" to destroy!

True enough. The difference between the two phrases could be debated. I don't have a copy of the four rules on me at the moment, so was going by memory.
