Kel-Tec is jumping into the flashlight game with the introduction of the unique CL-43.
The CL-43 definitely stands out from the crowd, by the use of a switching system that is backward when compared to many traditional lights. Â The activation switch faces toward the target, and to activate the light, the user presses toward the back of the light.
The idea is the light can be extended out in an instinctive way and activated in a manner similar to simply closing one’s fist.  I don’t know if this design offers a superior way of using a while light in a stress environment, but the idea is intriguing.
Kel-Tec claims the design of the flashlight “makes it possible to hold and operate parallel with a handgun without impairing a conventional two handed hold.” Â Additionally, the company states “If required, and with some training, the light can be operated one-handed together with the gun.”
The switch has both a constant and momentary on mode.
