New American Truth

Most people in today’s tech savvy world think of a computer port when they think of USB’s. It means the same thing in relation to the ASP Triad. No, the Triad does not have a built in flash drive. Instead, like your phone and MP3 player, one way you can charge the Triad is by plugging it in to your computers USB port.

I did wonder at first if the light might be too bright especially when in a house with brightly colored walls where the light could be reflecting back at you. After using the light for a while, I love it and I would say that SureFire has set a new standard.

Both seem “so simple” people will ask themselves, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Reality is, you didn’t have to think of it, you just need to appreciate it and use it if it suits your needs/situation.

It would make an excellent secondary light on your duty belt or emergency light for your vehicle / camp / bug out gear. The ONLY reason I don’t recommend it as a primary tactical light is because having to switch through high output and ultra-low output to get to the strobe feature can cost valuable time and attention in a potential lethal force encounter.

The ATAC A1 is a handheld, not much bigger than palm size, “tactical” flashlight. I put the “tactical” in quotes for two reasons: first, it means different things to different people; second, I consider this an excellent off-duty/civilian light and too many people don’t consider a “tactical” light for such.

The ease of use for the various function capabilities is one of the biggest strengths of this light.

One thing I think about in a handheld tactical light is how it fits my hand in the event I need to use it as a defensive impact tool. Well, it works very well to reinforce the knuckles when held in the fist for delivering a jab or straight punch.

I still remember the days when the best and brightest flashlight was the size of a small bat, took four D-cell batteries, weighed a half-ton (okay, that’s an exaggeration) and if you left it in your car you were out of luck in the dark.
