Great review. I just ordered the BL and watched 5 or 6 review videos with your video being the only one that mentioned tightening the two inner screws. Also, I am color blind with green, orange, and red so the blue stood out for me. Thank you!
Definitely looks like the blue laser has a lot of "splash". So it's just for aesthetic purposes it seems. Although if you're training with other people, it might be beneficial for each individual or team to be running different colors.
Thank you for the comparison. I wish you included the red. I'm trying to figure out the best one for my gun and me. Blue is pretty and is my favorite color but looks like it might be more difficult to see at times. I don't like the color red but I need to choose the one I can see the best in any lighting. Between blue & green, I'd pick green.
Thank you for a great review..this was the first blue laser I had seen very cool..it's definitely easier on my eyes 👀. Not sure if it's for me.. thank you sir..
The blue is probably less likely to give away your location to the opposing shooter, whereas they could easily tell where the green one is coming from due to the color and also lighting up dust particles.
tests show GREEN is BRIGHTEST then RED then BLUE, but BLUE Is super COOL, I have the GREEN one and it is CRAZY BRIGHT, TOO BRIGHT, it has fractal beams coming off it that light up the area. I am fine with it being so BRIGHT, you can see it in the day at shooting distance.
Now let's try the red, blue and green on one point to see if we can get a white laser. 👌👀🧐 I've got so many builds and so many light combos already. But ... I think I'll get one to go with my Black-n-Blue Strike 80/HYVE build I'm doing now. 🤔
So will this one fit my smith and Wesson m and p performance center 9mm ez, I got a baldr pro r an it doesn't fit with the different fitting, won't go past first rail, also the quick release on the one your showing doesn't do this either,so I believe I'll order this one
I see a lot of shame for olight owners but they're what they're worth definitely almost just as good and have some neat quirks a lot of the others dont have.
Maybe it’s the camera, but the blue looks easier for me to pick up. Again, like you said maybe it’s just the camera. My eyes are instantly drawn to that blue, as the green it takes a second to register.
re comments about the BLUE LIGHT kinda being inferior or just for esthetical. yeah nah. We have such a thing called GREEN DOTS now, not just Red dots. having a different color than your sights is a good thing.
ehhhh being the special fork isn't always good. The green spectrum is easier to detect from the eyes but that wavelength uses about 25% more power. So it comes at a cost. The blue isn't really easier to see but is even further up the wavelength in terms of power requirements. So yes, you can have it but there are legit reasons why blue is stupid. -Walsh
Why in the world would you not test them at a longer distance. As close as you tested those you don't need a laser or any site of any kind. I sure wish you would have compared them at a distance.
How long would you want test it? Most time we use lasers to account for height over bore at short distances and that's really it. The laser is only accurate at once distance so zero'ing at like 25-30 yards is a tad weird. -Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo a laser on a handgun has never been about pinpoint accuracy. It's about quick acquisition 2 Center of mass without having to focus on a fixed-site. It appears that you only tested it at about 15 or 20 ft in which case you don't really need a site at all to hit Center of mass at 15 or 20 ft. Yes I would like to see how well it performs at 15 or 20 yards.
@@steveh7108 at that distance if you base your aim purely on the laser you most probably won't even hit your target. Lasers are mostly useless really, to train dry fire they're good, or in really specific situations, but again, at longer distances, useless.
@@armandogavilan1815 precisely why I thought he should have tested them at a longer range. They are useless for anything but dry fire unless they can work at a decent range.
i had a green laser and personally i think he's right about the green being brighter but my wallets telling me the blue brighter 😅😅

I got the blue laser because I have a very slight red and green color blindness. I did some research and figured I would buy the blue one.

i just ordered a green light BALDR S but i do have a blue light of a different brand and you can see the where its coming from as well

Nice light. Good review, thank you.
Thank you for the review!
If you are color blind with a red / green deficiency the blue is way easier to see!
Underrated comment, not everyone have the same abled body and I'm all for accessibility in this sport

On camera, the blue looks more intense.
So we can do the whole GI Joe thing now.
The Olight baldr s and the Olight baldr s bl are the same correct in size. I know the bl had a blue light.
correct, same besides the laser color
I got GREEN and put it on my M4 shotgun.
Don’t forget some people are color blind to red/green blue lasers are a blessing!!
Excellent video!
Those it fix to a hk416f rail
I see a lot of shame for olight owners but they're what they're worth definitely almost just as good and have some neat quirks a lot of the others dont have.
What’s a good IWB holster for a Glock 19 with the olight baldr S?
I've had great luck with Tenicor and Alpha Omega Kydex

Blue lol the easiest color for a Buck to see I'll pass for a green one.💯🦖
yea it's the laser that's going to give you away lol
@@ThinLineDefenseCo Nothing like a dot on your chest to make you reconsider your life choices.

@@ThinLineDefenseCo 10 to 20 yard in house to edge of yard, does it really matter?
It may not, but the blue doesn't jump out at you at all. Particularly against a bright flashlight. Your mileage may vary.
how is blue better than green/red?
If you color blind...
Green the best
Red and blue Are Not so bright or good from far farther distance
On camera blue looks better
Most everything in nature is green. Gonna go with a red or blue. Probably the blue because it's unnatural.

Good for colorblind people
would it be? or could you just give them the green and say it was blue?
or vice versa lol
@@ThinLineDefenseCo lol
Don’t buy this light mine stopped working after 1 day
I wish mine would stop working so I could make fun of it.
Just return it lol
