This video conducts a comparative test of tactical illumination and aiming devices. It pits the Phantom Hill CTF-1 against the Steiner OTAL-C IR, in conjunction with a Surefire M600 Vampire (KM2-C), and also compares the CTF-1 with the DBAL I2 9007. The description hints at the challenges of civilian firearm ownership.
The Holosun LE117IR is an 'Elite' titanium IR laser designator, offering a more robust build than its aluminum 'LS' counterpart. It features a three-position switch and compatibility with Crane-style tape switches. While civilian-legal Class 1, its performance is comparable to the Steiner DBAL I2 9007, but it is more affordable and features a bore-aligned emitter.
The Holosun LS321 and Steiner DBAL I2 are compared for night vision applications. While the LS321 offers better ergonomics and build quality, the DBAL I2 excels with a significantly more powerful and focused IR illuminator, crucial for longer distances. Despite the LS321's feature set, the DBAL I2 remains the recommended choice for its superior illuminator performance and domestic warranty support.
