Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key improvements in the latest Inforce APL pistol light?

The latest full-size Inforce APL pistol light boasts an upgraded output of 400 lumens, doubling its previous brightness. It also features a new, tacky texture on its ambidextrous paddle switches for enhanced grip and activation, while maintaining its robust build.

How do you properly install the Inforce APL light on a Glock pistol?

What is the tactical advantage of using a weapon light like the Inforce APL?
