For people who are just getting into this…. These tutorials are very helpful
Another great video Lenny! My brother and I were in Nashville in August and we stopped by to have our slides cut. A very nice gentleman gave us a tour of the facilities and we were extremely impressed especially, of your CNC machine shop. We both received our slides in less than 10 days and we both are very happy on how they turned out. You have a great store and a very helpful staff. I’ll be down again because, I have another slide I need cut! 🤣🤣 Thanks again!
I don’t have any Glocks, but this channel gives the best product spotlights by far.
Dear Lenny, Hello from Brazil! Thank you very much for your good videos and specifically for the didactic way of saying important things! I'm sure your work helps many people around the world! I'm just another individual who appreciates your teachings. Thank you again!
The PID fits in TRL-1 holsters

Thanks Lenny, always appreciate your review's and especially your NEW Store in NASHVILLE!!!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😉
Thanks, I really like the circle dot as well.
Going the purchase without the laser. I use their optics. Love the honesty!!!
As usual, you did a excellent job describing a product that you're carrying in your amazing establishment.. I'll need a Holosun light when I purchase the new Glock 17L MOS GEN 5 from The Glock Store in Nashville, from you.
Great video love the light. Two things you should have mentioned is that it has a bright and low setting, also the battery life.
I learn something new every time. thank you! Greetings from Italy!
Bought a 30 round mag the other day super high quality absolutely love it
Really good price point on these! I was very surprised to see just how low the price is!!
A little big for my taste on my Glock 17 but it's always good to see something new from Holosun.
Thank you. I had not heard of the Holosun PID before. Pretty neat.
Hello Lenny, Great video. I have a question ? I have a Glock 20 and the PID Plus, there are two adapter plates supplied numbered 1 and 2, which do you use? The provided instructions aren't very helpful. I think the #1 adapter "pushes ' the laser spot lower. This seems to be good as it appears that using the #2 adapter has the spot higher then it should be on target. I haven't tried it in actual shooting yet just pointing it at a target in the house. Any thought from you or anyone else would be appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
I have the standard pid, absolutely great so far.
Love what Holsun is doing. Now, we must waiting for those who manufacture holsters to catch up on the accessories end.
I put the P I.D. 1000 (no laser) on my Echelon along with the 508T green optic they work great I love it and the P I.D. is a lot cheaper than the Surefire x300 Ultra light. 🙂

@@ANARCHITECT708 I have one of those. It sits in an ammo box doing nothing. The battery is super jank and the brightness does not even come close to my TLR-7.
Would recommend this light on a G43x MOS or do think there is a more compact PID for that model ?
Have an alpha omega kydex holster for my compensated 19 with this light and love it. It's heavy but not too heavy, and is BRIGHT when it's needed. My only complaint with the P.I.D is that there is no strobe function.
Great !! You are the man Lenny! I will check out that new holosun light.
Wonderful!
How well would this work on a large frame Glock? I am thinking of setting up my Glock 41 with a light and red dot sight.
I love Holosun products and own 9 of them. They are amazing and easily rival products double the price but I’ll never run a pistol light that protrudes past the end of my barrel. That’s why I run an Olight Baldr Mini 600 on all of my Glock 19s as the lights sits perfectly parallel with the end of the barrel and fits beautifully in an Orpaz T40 holster.

@@BrockNessMonster1991 Hi Brock. It is primarily just my personal preference regarding form factor and ergonomics when it comes to weight, drawing/holstering and transporting/storing my firearms. I also treat any light on my firearm as a weapon light and not a flashlight. On a pistol most of those large lights are overkill in relation to the effective range of the firearm. There are so many high quality dependable choices for a pistol light in smaller form factors that I see no reason to add unnecessary bulk. If I’m in a fire fight with my Glock 19 and being hindered by the illumination reach of my weapon light then I’m already holding the wrong firearm. I do however run larger weapon lights on my rifles and shotguns. I’m not knocking anyone who wants to run a weapons light that protrudes past the end of the barrel, it’s just not for me.
@stereothrilla8374

@@BrockNessMonster1991 I’m hoping Holosun will design a weapon light for the Glock 19 that has the form factor like it is part of the firearm. Something with seamless design like their SCS red dot. They really knocked it out of the park with that thing. Granted I know it isn’t really a cost effective strategy for these manufacturers to make items specific to a single firearm but it sure is nice if you’re the person who owns that specific firearm.
Great presentation as always Lenny. I only wish you would have demonstrated the spot and flood of the light. My go to light has a tight spot that is aligned with where the bullet goes and a decent flood so I can see my environment in the low ready position. That way I am in no way assaulting anyone by pointing my gun at them. BTW, folks need to know that when using a weapons light.

@@mrroboto1660 The one I am referring to is the Olight PL Turbo. 66,300 candela. Tight spot and excellent flood at the same time. I also have a PL-3R. The spot on it is not quite as focused and about the same flood. It is higher lumens but has less throw and it rechargeable. You can also use a remote switch with the PL-3R. You cannot with the PL Turbo. I like them both. The 3R is on an AR and the PL Turbo is on a handgun. If you wait for a sale you can grab them at really great prices. They also come with a lifetime warranty.
Is the candela more on the lower lumen output light? If it’s more candela that is a massive selling point for folks as people are finally understanding how illumination and throw equate to what you can do with a light as opposed to “how bright” a spot on the flood is 5 meters away
GS always has the latest and greatest. Miss you guys in San Diego.
I love the light had it for a wile but finding a holster that is made for it is tough
I like it but the holster considerations is what’s going to kill this for a while. I wonder why they couldn’t have used one of the same footprint sizes as like the TLR 7 or something so that it will automatically fit.

That's a lot of lumens. A few years ago I purchased an Olight PL-1 11(600 lumens )for my 19 and recommended a certain IWB kydex holster for it on Amazon. I had to use a Bic lighter to shape it to fit though. It's nice to know that you make a light bearing holster for the Holosun.

Dawg you can just buy a streamlight or if you want the best surefire is the best. But streamlight is the next best both have unlimited holster options vs olight where a lot of companies won’t make them cause they are ieds
Could a laser device be used as a distraction/threat, as in a security situation? Or maybe incapacitating if you poke em in the eyes with it.
I love mine. I have the pid plus. Can't find a holster that will fit my combo, now it's just my bedside gun.
does it fit on a safariland holster
Love the videos Lenny keep them coming
Great job on the video 👍
What about holsters that will accommodate this model?
Would these lights fit on Glock 43x mos frame ?
They fit the tlr1 holsters
Will this fit a glock 48? (Not a mos)
Did anyone notice the different finish on the barrel of this gen 5 G17? Doesn’t look like it is nDLC like the slide. 🧐
i used 7 inch lag screws from home depot, hamed fisted torque spec, with lock washers, no issues. I just club them over the head with the gun. lol
Sure wish the GlockStore would open a ARStore.
What is the price of the green laser with 900 lumens
Not sure if its because its the non laser version but I am not the biggest fan of the buttons. Kinda hard to press and my fingers arent that long. Lots of duty full size/compact handguns have a long trigger guard. I wish they did the TLR1 HL or even TLR7A buttons. Pushing down or forward is easier than in IMO. Great light tho performance wise. Also it works with safariland OWB light holsters.
Seems like you hear that some wml with laser don't hold zero very good. It would be nice to see someone like Arron Cowan at Sage Dynamics do a review of this light. For me it's to much extra going on especially when I'm already running a RDS. But the light alone looks like a winner.
Id love a smaller model that fit the 19. A model with a tape switch for rifle would be nice too.
Love glockstore Lenny is the man.
Love my PID! I’m actually going to it now and moving away from my TLR1HL
I'd really like to see your reviews on some olights

At first I was an olight Valkyrie guy but I don't really like having to charge my light because it always died at the most inconvenient time I have since bought a Streamlight tlr-1 that's the only one I need and not to mention it'll go in pretty much any holster but the one on my are is an olight Odin I like it cuz the battery lasts Hella long
Why is the Glock 20 gen5 not talked about much? Maybe because of the caliber it's chambered in.

The biggest issue is unless it has some outstanding feature that other lights dont have it wont get enough traction for holster makers and stuff to bother adding options to their lineups. Streamlight and Surefire are high quality with great features so they are always an option. On the opposite side of the spectrum olights are cheap so tons of people buy them. Whether thats a good thing or not is debatable. lol

Olight is about the same price as streamlight but reasonable people won’t put money into them cause they are ieds. And yea cool they have 1400lumens but heat up fast as shit and have little to no candela just solid flood. Olight is for fudds and airsofters.

I'm going to recommend that you become familiar with your local, state, and federal laws on using a weapon mounted light for identifying a threat. I am very positive that it is illegal to do that in most states in the USA, but probably not everywhere. I'm sure that there are some circumstances that will allow you to use a weapon-mounted light, but you should really be familiar with your local laws because you can very easily break the law if you are not careful.
It's cheaper to purchase Streamlight and similar lights which are in the same class. Holster availability is another consideration. Holosun light will not be on my list for a while.
