(More customer reviews)When I first received the Blackhawk Gladius flashlight, put the batteries in and turned it on, it was clear that I would need to study it's operation for a bit.The Gladius has many modes and different settings which need to be understood before one can effectively use the light.While the control knobs are easy to use and the settings reasonably simple to change, it is still a complex flashlight.After I got the thing set up I started to notice that at times it would not come on when the button was depressed.This was solved by tightening the tail cap, however periodically it would occur again, requiring another twist of the tail cap to resume function.I did some research and found that other Gladius owners have had this same problem.I contacted Blackhawk and they acknowledged the problem and sent me a tail cap.In the two weeks it took for the tail caps to arrive, there was a reduced incidence of my Gladius misfiring. It would work well for several days, then while using it the light would suddenly shut itself off. One time the light came on while it was sitting on a table and was bumped by another object.Once the cap arrived, (they actually sent me two) I began to swap out caps.The first cap I tried to use had an activation button which would stick in the ON position and would not cycle the light at all.The second cap seemed to work the same way as my original tail cap, intermittently malfunctioning.I replaced the new caps with my original one, as it's incident of malfunction was less frequent
This is an interesting light.It would be great if it turned on 100% of the time and one didn't have to worry about it shutting itself off at inconvenient times.I would certainly say, that as an emergency tool, this is NOT the light.Police and military personnel would be ill served and possibly endangered by the intermittent malfunction of this light.I'm keeping my light, but I am certainly disappointed in its function especially in light of it's price.
