Warriorland makes affordable Kydex holsters from a wide variety of pistols. Now, they’ve also come out with their own line of compact weaponlights and pistol lasers. Recently they released the Crosswbow MA1, a weaponlight laser that incorporates an LED display. As part of the launch, they are releasing the MA1 in a special bundle package that includes a Glock 17/19 IWB holster. Warriorland sent me a sample and I am among the first to test and review it.

Lets start with the Crossbow MA1 which is well constructe. It comes pre-installed with a Glock rail adapter and 5 additional “rail key” adapters for common pistols made by Springfield, S&W, CZ, Walther, Beretta and SIG; along with a universal 1913-Picatinny rail adapter. The MA1 is sized to perfectly fit the space in front of a Glock 19 handguard and be nearly flush with the front of the receiver and slide.

The MA1 has an internal battery and comes with a magnetic 2-pin USB charging cable. The built-in LED disply shows a diagram of the current battery charge and the lumen output when turned on. Below the unit, is an analog switch allowing the unit to function in laser only, light only, and combined modes.

The MA1 is activated using either of the two tabs on rear of the unit. These tabs extend slightly over the front of the Glock’s trigger guard to be easily reachable by either hand. A single tap turns the unit on. A constant press activates momentary on. Pressing both tabs simultaneously puts the unit on “candle light” low output mode.

A double tap activates the Strobe mode. This control scheme is problematic because under stress, a user my easily accidentally double tap their switch causing unwanted Strobe activation. Unfortunately,. Warriorland did not build a means to lock-out the strobe function. For some this is a hard-pass. Personally I’m not a fan of the MA1’s control scheme. They should have copied OLight’s control scheme and only activated the strobe by pressing both tabs simultaneously.

On a positive note, when activated the MA1 ouputs more than the manufacturer stated 800 lumens. In my tests, I got over 1000 lumens on high output mode. Moreover, in my run time tests, the unit stayed on in high mode for 62 minutes.

For anyone who’s bought a new weaponlight for their pistol, finding an affordable holster that fits can be challenging and frustrating. The appeal of this bundle is that it includes a nicely designed holster. The Kydex plastic holster fit my Glock 19 with the MA1 mounted perfectly.

The main downside is that the Combo bundle (as of now) only comes holster for the Glock 17/19. Furthermore, the holster is an Inside-the-waistband (IWB) style for right handers. It is not designed to relocate the clip for left handers or mounting on a belt for open-carry.

Given that the Glock 17 and 19 are probably the most common pistol found in North America, this MA1 weaponlight and holster bundle will probably be ideal for many.

Just in time for Christmas, Warriorland is offering the MA1 weaponlight and holster bundled together for the price of the weaponlight alone. They supplied me with this coupon code on Amazon so that my viewers can get 10% off. Moondog10. I don’t know how long this bundle will last at this price so get it while you can.
