The NcStar ACQPTF compact flashlight with strobe is built for pistol shooters and tactical users who need reliable illumination and target control in a rail-mounted package. This 150-lumen Cree LED flashlight mounts directly to Weaver and Picatinny rails found on most mid-size and compact semi-automatic pistols, giving you a dedicated light source without taking up holster or pocket space. At just 2.4 inches long and 2.6 ounces, it stays compact enough to carry without bulk while delivering the brightness you need for target identification and aiming in low-light conditions.
What sets this compact flashlight apart is the strobe feature—a tactical tool that can disorient a target while also extending battery life when you're not running full brightness continuously. The dual-control design puts your power button on the left side and the strobe button on the right, letting you toggle between steady and strobe modes without fumbling. A single CR2 lithium battery (included) powers the light, and you'll appreciate how the smaller battery size keeps the overall package tight and trail-friendly.
If you're outfitting a duty or home-defense pistol, a range gun, or any rifle with standard rail mounts, this NcStar light is a no-nonsense choice that pairs serious output with practical size. The quick-release mount means you can swap it between firearms or remove it when you don't need it, making it flexible enough for hunters, competitive shooters, and anyone serious about night-vision-ready gear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this compact flashlight fit my pistol or rifle?
The NcStar ACQPTF mounts to standard Weaver and Picatinny rails and is designed for mid-size and compact semi-automatic pistols. It will also work on rifles with those rail systems. It is not compatible with sub-compact or pocket pistols.
What battery does it use and how long does it last?
The light runs on a single CR2 lithium battery, which is included. Battery life will vary depending on whether you use steady or strobe mode—strobe mode extends overall battery life by cycling the output.
Can I use the strobe and steady modes separately?
Yes. The left button controls the main power and steady mode, while the dedicated right button activates strobe mode, giving you full control over how you use the light.
Is the mount permanent or can I remove it?
The quick-release mount lets you attach and detach the light quickly from your rail without tools, so you can move it between firearms or remove it entirely when not needed.
