The 22+1 pistol performed extremely well (<a class=\"ajax-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/taking-the-xd-m-elite-to-200-yards\/\">see it hit at 200 yards here<\/a>) and I made this my new \u201cservice\u201d or \u201ccarry\u201d firearm.\u00a0 The biggest reason was its size and stability and the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) component with its iron sight system instead of a red dot optic.<\/p>\n<h2>Heading Indoors with Viridian<\/h2>\n<p>That brings me to this review.\u00a0 For the exact same reasons, I wanted to evaluate and assess it for a \u201cstatic\u201d self-defense role.\u00a0 I am not speaking of concealed carry; this is much too big and robust for that for most people.\u00a0 I am talking about it in a home or vehicle where the size is not a hindrance but actually a tactical asset.

I think the most likely scenario is an encounter after dark and you want a bright light to put lumens on the potential intruder.\u00a0 Identification of \u201cwhat\u201d or \u201cwhom\u201d you are pointing a gun at is an absolute necessity.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the light providing you with certain target identification, it also is a very effective deterrent as it affects the vision of possible assailants and, with a strobe mode, is very disorienting, giving much-needed seconds to respond. I would not have a bedside gun without a light, PERIOD.<\/p>\n<h2>Narrowed Focus: C5L Green Laser and White Light<\/h2>\n<p>Thus, the Viridian C5L comes onto the stage for me. Now, if you are going to have a light, why would you not also just do the laser as a supplemental aiming tool? The C5L is a green laser\/white light combo and the only way to go in my opinion.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-32101\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3-800x600.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3-400x300.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3-768x576.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstration of visibility of green laser indoors at night when using Viridian C5L on a pistol\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>Combining a white light and green laser into one accessory allows you to have two tools immediately available if\u00a0needed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We already discussed why you need the light. The laser is going to be extremely beneficial in low light as you will not be able to see your sights, or possibly even the gun itself. If you have not tried it, take your bedside gun out some time to a range and try shooting it in the dark. Exactly!<\/p>\n<h2>Viridian C5L Specifications<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to what I list here, I cover the specification for the C5L in the review video above.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Visible Laser Range (daylight)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>100 yards<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Visible Laser Range (night)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2 miles<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Laser Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>5 mW output, 510-532 nm (visible green)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Laser Adjustment<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Windage, elevation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Light Output<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>100 lumens (constant), 140 lumens (strobe)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Light Beam Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Radiance (wide beam)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Activation Control<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Side button with optional automatic activation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Modes<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Light only, laser only, light and laser, strobing light and laser<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Runtime<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>4 hours (light only, constant), 7 hours (light only, strobing), 60 minutes (light and laser, constant)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Warranty<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>7 years<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>MSRP<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$349<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Even though the C5L is light, it can act as a small counterweight to recoil, further increasing stability and shots on target. This gun in this configuration is going to be as manageable a 9mm out there, providing a very stable and manageable platform for shooters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-32102\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4.jpg.webp 1064w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4-800x572.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4-400x286.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4-768x549.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1064px) 100vw, 1064px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1064\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4.jpg\" alt=\"Viridian C5L unit with Viridian instant-on polymer holster\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4.jpg 1064w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4-800x572.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4-400x286.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/article-viridian-c5l-review-light-laser-combo-23-rounds-9mm-4-768x549.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1064px) 100vw, 1064px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>Viridian uses Instant On technology that \u2014 when paired with a compatible holster \u2014 allows you to activate the unit during the draw.
