Olight also includes their signature magnetic charging cable with built in charging indicator (red for charging, green for fully charged). This is the same cable the PL-Mini 2 uses, but it is not the same used to charge Olight flashlights \u2013 the polarity is reversed, and it won\u2019t work with your flashlights. The magnetic charger is so easy to use. It effortlessly snaps to the bottom of the light and it\u2019s nice not having to plug a cable into the flashlight itself to charge. The magnetic charging port keeps the flashlight body sealed and helps with water resistance. On the left side of the light itself is a low battery indicator that comes on when the battery is less than 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First Impressions &amp; Use<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the box, the BALDR Mini feels and looks like a quality product. The housing and adjustable base is made from solid Aluminum. The activation switches and selector switch are the only plastic parts on it. All the edges are smooth, rounded, and the overall footprint is exceptionally small for being a combination light. Coming from the PL-Mini 2 the BALDR Mini is slightly bigger and heavier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini07.jpg\" alt=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-144243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini07.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini07-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini07-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini07-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini07-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>The BALDR Mini is about 4 mm longer and 5 mm taller than the PL Mini 2. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini08.jpg\" alt=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-144244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini08.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini08-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini08-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini08-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini08-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>The reflector is also larger than the PL Mini 2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some lighter combination lights available from other manufacturers, but none come close to the performance or versatility the BALDR Mini is offering. Not many weapon lights can fit on a subcompact and a full-size pistol like the BALDR Mini or PL-Mini 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to test the run time, so I fully charged the BALDR Mini and then turned on both the laser and light. With the light and laser on I was able to get just under 35 min. of run time. A full recharge took 54 minutes. Now with just the light on, I was able to get 40 min. of run time. It\u2019s important to note with all flashlights that the specified light output rating is only sustainable for 1 or 2 minutes max. and then power tapers off until the battery drains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Baldrmini06.jpg\" alt=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-144242\" width=\"840\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Baldrmini06.jpg 977w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Baldrmini06-400x184.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Baldrmini06-150x69.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Baldrmini06-768x354.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>The magnetic charging cables snaps into place and turns green when fully charged.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two toggle activation switches sit at the rear of the BALDR Mini. Both switches can be easily reached with your trigger index finger or thumb on your supporting hand. The switches are activated by a downward depress. A quick depress makes the light stay on continuously. A press and hold will be a \u201cmomentary\u201d on until released and then it will turn off. I prefer the downward motion of activating the switch vs. a side press button \u2013 I can stay on target better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini09.jpg\" alt=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-144245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini09.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini09-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini09-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini09-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini09-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>The activation switch feels natural to operate and lands at the tip of my finger.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini10.jpg\" alt=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-144246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini10.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini10-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini10-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini10-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini10-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>The activation switch is also easily manipulated by the support hand thumb.

When switching between the different modes, the selector makes a loud audible click as it seats in position. The switch is easy to operate yet holds firm in position, and it sits flush with the rest of the light. I\u2019m not concerned with bumping it to a different mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the right side of the BALDR Mini are the windage and elevation adjustments for the laser. Olight stacked the laser right on top of the LED which makes sense. Being directly under the barrel, it\u2019s better aligned with the rounds going down range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini12.jpg\" alt=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-144248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini12-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini12-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini12-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini12-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>The quick detach feature on the BALDR Mini makes for a tool-less install.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/olight.idevaffiliate.com\/idevaffiliate.php?id=747&amp;utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"baldr-mini-rl-from-olight-full-review\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\">Olight <\/a>quick detach mount is by far the easiest and fastest way to mount a light to your pistol. It takes just seconds to install or move it to another pistol. Just open the lever, put it on the rail, adjust the light to your liking and close the lever. There is no horizontal play when it\u2019s locked on the rail. However, there is a very small amount of up and down movement. At 15 ft. the dot moved up and down approximately 4 inches. This is an issue if you\u2019re using the momentary on setting while using the laser for aiming. The dot will dance around and you won\u2019t be as accurate. In a home defense situation, you\u2019ll still be on target. I\u2019d like to see Olight get this dialed in a bit more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/P4150334-2.jpg\" alt=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-144249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/P4150334-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/P4150334-2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/P4150334-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/P4150334-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/P4150334-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I went to the range, I zeroed the laser to my red dot on my office wall at about 10 feet.

Adjusting the laser is easy but requires some fine motor skills to get the dot precisely where you want it. &nbsp;I removed and replaced the BALDR Mini to see if it held zero and surprisingly had no issues at the range. Time will tell if it holds zero.

It will easily illuminate any room in the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini02.jpg\" alt=\"New BALDR Mini RL from Olight - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-144255\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini02.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini02-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini02-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini02-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BaldrMini02-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the Olight BALDR Mini seems like a top contender in combination light\/laser weapon lights. It\u2019s compact size, versatility, light output, rechargeable battery, and price make it an attractive option compared to other manufacturers. I don\u2019t think any weapon light could be described as perfect, but the BALDR Mini comes pretty close.
