- The Trustfire GM35 is a weapon light that has has some things going for it but is not without it's flaws. I always appreciate new gear and see the efforts made but there is room for improvement. Thanks to Henri Bierman and TorchSA for sending me these.

Nice review! Been waiting a while for this one, and you didn't disappoint. I've been running one of these for a month or so and can't say I'm disappointed in much other than holster availability. As you correctly say, (and I found out the hard way,) no-one currently makes an appendix carry holster for this light. I bought a very expensive one from a well-known local manufacturer thinking it was for appendix, but turns out it's actually strong-side. The light on the back is indeed a battery-level indicator, and is visible when mounted on my P-07, however it's a silly location. It should have been on the bottom or side instead. I do agree that the candela could have been better, although in my testing outdoors it easily illuminated anything I would like or need to see, well in excess of 100m in pitch black conditions. Due to the limited candela it would probably not do as well in a light-polluted environment. In my opinion if you're "searching" further than 100m you should probably be using a long-gun anyway. As for the buttons, I exclusively use the one-click on and off - even for momentary. They should have made the mode change if you depress both buttons or something. All that said: I'm not a LEO. It's not my job to chase dangerous people through fields and down alleyways, which is where I can see most it's shortcomings lie. For me, as a civie, it ticks the boxes I need ticked, at a great price point. If only holsters were easier to come by... (Planning on doing the next Rusty Gunman Low Light course. Will put it through it's paces there)
With a bit of creativity you can make a strong side IWB holster work as AIWB. Adding a claw / wing and a wedge, and play with the loop height to get a zero cant, and you're pretty close...
@@davidpyle7333 thanks David. I'll play around with it. A claw should help a lot. I'll also have to find a way to seat it lower, probably by filling new holes in the clips. The only real challenge is the angle of the clips. I'm sure I'll find a way.
@@0BuLLeT01 look at the Philster videos on TH-cam, some good tutorials on making wedges.
The light indicator turns yellow with medium capacity and then red when it's low on capacity. Yeah the step down setting when holding momentary is kind of a flaw.. but other than that I think they're solid quality for the money.
Cool review as always. Thanks for the mention!
Pls help. My Trustfire GM35, wont light anymore, but the light indicator at the back (green/red) still glow. What seems to be the problem sir? Thanks.
Agree 100%, multi-modes belong on utilitarian lights, WML's need on and off and that's all.
hey please do a review on the becker 14 knife please
Might be worth making your own IWB holster. It's not that hard.
hello! Man do know about the lock mode of the ligth..? I have one and can't do turn on.
"I AGRRRRRRRRRREE"
Jeez!
looks fantastic man
I have an unpopular opinion: home defense lights should be as dim as possible without being useless. Since you are guaranteed to blind yourself with a powerful light indoors.
Do u know of any lights for a 43x. It's the slimline glock
Streamlight TLR7A SUB
"RRRRRRRRREALLY"
Jeez - could you roll your R's and add syllables to words anymore! This guy couldn't be anymore South African.
