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.

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.
