Well I got mine today after 2 weeks of waiting not too bad. Should have read a little more and gotten the dx 30 but hey live and learn I got the DX 50 as an intro to Green for me.
Just a few things about this one as I am sure they vary a great deal.
Nice box heavy foam insert to prevent jarring still would fit in most pockets.
Laser has a nice heavy feel to it lot of mass in the head to balance it out.
Beam is strong melts trash bags at 2 feet and lights spoted matches no focusing or lens.
Mine seems to be off center as the beam comes out to the far side of the openeing.
So not too impresed with the build quality.
Dont have a meter yet so can't see if it is truly 50 mw but as it will light a match in about 2 sec it cant be too far off.
As far is IR output I looked at it from the side with my night vision lens and couldnt even make out the beam.
Since my NV lens came with a IR flashlight to see in total darkness I would say the True 50 does have an IR filter.
If sombody was thinking of getting the True 50 as a first green dont.
Get the True 30 instead.
You can get 2 for less than the 50 and have more fun with them
