Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Real Tactical Light, Real Laser
Cons:	No constant on switch

This LAM unit by Wolf has both a tactical light and laser and is designed for use on any MK23 gun. The tactical light is a Surefire 6p clone and the unit uses 2 CR123A batteries that most tac lights use.

The unit is mostly plastic except for the tac light bulb housing. The light is very bright as it shoudl be. It's very easy to install on any MK23.

One big downside for me though... There are 2 seperate switches to turn the light or laser on. These are both pressure switches on the left side of the LAM. There is no "constant on" function to these switches and the placement of the switches makes holding the gun and operating the swithches a bit awkward. It also is taller the the Marui MK23 LAM.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Great replacement to standard TM LAM, Working tac light & Laser
Cons:	awkward button placement, not ambidexterous

Anyone who loves their TM Mk-23 SOCOM needs to show it some love with this fantastic upgrade. The TM LAM looks good but it's usefulness ends there. The Wolf Industries beats the TM LAM hands down.

I love my KSC Glock 19 and have it completely upgraded and totally decked out. High flow valves, metal slide, tritium night sights, M9 tac light/laser, custom grip. This pistol has served me well and I thought I would never need another.

I won a King Arms pistol in a combat pistol course at a local Airsoft Alaska event and didn't need another pistol. Then I saw a trade offer for a TM Mk-23 SOCOM with Wolf Industries Tac Light and found out my deffinition of "need" changed.

I received the WOLF Industries LAM as part of a trade with another player. It was already mounted and zeroed so as soon as I pressed the button to activate the laser the shots were dead on.

The placement of the buttons that activate the tac light and laser are a bit awkward to activate and activating both at once takes practice. If you are left handed I would suggest passing on this LAM as all the controls are on the left and require your left hand to operate.

The very first game I was able to put the bright laser to the test when I used it outdoors and even in bright daylight was able to make out the red dot on my adversaries back. Between the laser and the MK-23's silencer I was able to dispatch 3 bad guys in quick succession without the rest of the opposing team even knowing I was there.

Later in that same game I was in a dark bunker and the LAM proved invaluable again allowing me to move through the darkened cement maze and emerge out the other side with out the usual bumps and bruises from an unknown pipe or small crater in the ground.

With the silencer on and your Wolf Industries LAM activated you will soon feel like Sam Fisher himself. Wink

This is a must have add on for anyone who loves their TM Mk-23 SOCOM. Only knocked points of for the lack of permanent on and awkward button placement.
