The Rein Micro provides users a very potent and capable light that combines a high lumen count with a massive amount of candela. It’s a blinding bright light that will certainly blind a home invader and buy the home defender a second to react. The impressive ergonomics combined with the unbeatable power makes the Rein Micro an awesome option for defensive use.

Birdshot for snakes, pests, and small game. Buckshot for two-legged predators, medium game, and threatening critters like hogs and coyotes. Slugs extend your range and could be a very capable bear defense. All that in a light and handy weapon makes the Mossberg 500 Retrograde an appealing choice for a discerning customer.
