Brinyte XP22 Mk3

Being willing to fairly review almost any product without being paid for it has resulted in me getting a lot offers. Several times a week companies reach out hoping for an "influencer" review and offering to pay. While I refuse ever offer for payment, I do accept product on the occassion that I see potential in them. This exploration of unknown brands has helkped us discover many great products before popularity drives the price up.

The Brinyte XP22 Mk3 has a low, saddling profile with a centered visible laser and dual light heads that can operate individually or in tandem.

Brinyte is a brand I hadn't heard of before, but who has a wide variety of lights and the XP22 Mk3 has an impressive description.

Straddling the Extar EP9 the Brinyte XP22 Mk3 remains low enough to not interfere with aiming through an already-taller-mounted red dot needed for comfortable use.

All of that with an Amazon listed price of $119 is very impressive, so I decided to take a look. I am not one to turture test or destroy products willingly, but I will give them a try. For me, the use of a weapon light is inside the home, most likely on a large-format pistol. In home weapon lights are where many of the influencers seem to skip one very important fact: There is such a thing as too bright. The dimensions of your home, wall and floor colors, and angles can all factor into whether a light will help you see a potential target, might dazzle said target, or might dazzle both you and the target.

Underneath this BoE Incolite 9m-suppressed Derya RanX the Brinyte XP22 Mk3 is a little long, but still completelt usable.

Another factor with weapon lights is the shadow they cast from the weapon itself. Where you mount the light, how wide the light is thrown, and the dimensions of the firearm you use will all play a role in what works and what doesn't, but what I find appealing about the XP22 Mk3 is that with both beams firing instead of one dark shadow off to one side you get two shaded areas; one on each side. Because there is a light on each side those less-luminated spots are more of a shade light than an absolute shadow. This greatly enhances situational awareness, especially when one has tunnel vision under stress and tends to ignore that which is not lit.

Charging the Brinyte XP22 Mk3 is easy and tactically-sound with a USB cable that magnetically attaches to the light and breaks away the moment the host weapon it grabbed from storage.

What do I think of the XP22 Mk3? Take a look in the tabletop video below. In my house the light is likely bright enough to dazzle a target, but not so intense that it'll get me too. How one defends their house is a matter of personal preference, maturity, and training. For me it's NOT "hunting" and instead waiting in a safe space to ambush. In tighter locations I can easily bump the switch and run just one light, or keep both at the ready in more-open areas.

For ther price I think it's a great way to learn what you like and don't like, and will serve well for a house gun. Is it "war ready"? I don't know and don't care. I did my time in uniform, served in two wars and don't plan to ever again. Weapon accessories for me as a civilian are either for range fun or home defense. The XP22 Mk3 is certainly enough for home defense and the couple equipment checks per year that such a tool sees.

For use on longer firearms the Brinyte XP22 Mk3 also has a remote tape switch
