Update. The laser arrived monday, but I wasn't home to sign for it
I wasn't able to get to the post office until today to pick it up.
LPMed it just now, and the results are actually quite a bit better than I expected. This laser is actually better than the identical one I got from o-like.
Peaked at 204mW and stabilized at ~195mW. The stability over 60 seconds after peak is quite impressive. IR content is also much better, 14mW, which comes out to be ~7%. For a non filtered laser, under 10% is really very good IMO.
For comparison I lpmed an identical laser, also a transformable 200mW from o-like. Peaked at 201mW which is actually the best output the laser has EVER produced, and stabilized at ~180mW. The big difference, 40mW of it is IR, or 22%.
I was looking for a backup everyday carry laser. Instead I got a new primary
Overall it's been a good transaction, my only complaint, and it is a very minor one, is communication could have been better.
