Table of Contents
Hey all, we here at True Shot Academy wanted to shine the spotlight on a new product that we started carrying. We recently got some
Holosun P.ID flashlights in stock and want to provide an informative blog post about this new offering. Our goal here today is to provide you with an overview of this light offering and delve into some of its traits and features. Without further ado, let’s examine the
Holosun P.ID.
Who is Holosun?
Holosun is a company well-known for their production of affordable electronic sights. Their product offerings span from pistol and rifle optics to more exotic offerings such as IR lasers, illuminators, and recently thermal optics.
Holosun’s products have been utilized for duty use, competition, and recreational use by shooters of all types. The company is well-known for providing economically priced optics, and the
flashlights that were introduced by the company last year are no exception.

The Holosun PID Line of Lights
Holosun’s P.ID line of products represents the company’s entry into the world of weapon mounted lights. Primarily known for their optic offerings, the
P.ID series of lights showcase the company’s desire to provide the market with an affordable duty light. Besides the standard
P.ID flashlight, the company also offers three other models in the form of the P.ID HC, P.ID Plus, P.ID Dual. The P.ID HC model sacrifices a bit of its potential lumen output in exchange for a higher candela output. The P.ID Plus and P.ID Dual feature laser technology, with the Plus variant featuring a visible laser and the Dual featuring an IR and visible laser. Simply put,
Holosun’s line of duty lights provides shooters with four affordable offerings optimized for different users and use cases.
What’s In a Name?
The
P.ID name is a clever one that references an important factor to consider in a low light defensive situation. In defensive nomenclature, “PID” means “positive identification.” This is to say that one should strive for PID in the event of a defensive shooting to ensure that an unintended target is not in their crosshairs. By positively identifying a threat, one can minimize the risk of collateral damage or harm and optimize their defensive odds.
Holosun P.ID Mounting Options
The
P.ID utilizes a traditional style crossbolt mounting screw mounting system. The
P.ID light series features replicable inserts which allow the light be mounted on M1913 rails and universal spec rails. While originally intended for use on handguns, the
P.ID can easily be placed onto other firearms. Simply put, you won’t have an issue putting a
P.ID light onto anything you have, whether it is a pistol, rifle, or subgun.
Holosun P.ID Lumen/Candela Output
The flagship model
P.ID flashlight from
Holosun features a lumen output of 1,000 lumens and an output of 23,000 candela. The combination of these two values provides a bright light which features a generous and focused hotspot. The
P.ID is capable of operating in either a low output or high output mode, yielding 500 or 1,000 lumens respectively. All in all, the
P.ID light provides end users
Holosun P.ID Power Source
The
P.ID line of
flashlights are powered by rechargeable 18350 batteries. These batteries can be charged without being removed from the
flashlight by utilizing the included USB magnetic charging cable. When the base model
P.ID light is used on low output mode, the light is capable of a runtime of about 60 minutes. Simply put, the powerful 18350 battery used by the
P.ID allows it to produce effective illumination and is easily recharged.

Holosun P.ID Holster Compatibility
There are a number of custom holster companies that manufacture holsters to accommodate the
Holosun P.ID line of
flashlights. These holsters are available in both outside the waistband and inside the waistband form. As far as duty holsters go, the standard
P.ID and P.ID HC models will fit into duty style holsters made to accommodate Surefire X300s according to
Holosun representatives. Holster companies will generally try and accommodate new and popular lights on the market as they come out, meaning that more options may pop up over time. At this point in time, one will not have issues finding a holster to accommodate this light from
Holosun.

P.ID flashlight and product line as a whole represent an attempt by
Holosun to offer value-packed duty lights at an economical price point. The lights offered by the company come with some features which are present on lights in much higher price points, allowing shooters of all types to get ahold of these features. In addition to the
