I have an Inforce WML-IR. Got it as a test & evaluation unit, and will be writing a review on it soon. I've also been given the go-ahead to try my damned hardest to shatter the borosilicate lens on it with an airsoft shot. I'm going to work my way up to 800fps 0.29g Silica if it can make it that far.
Only the IR version is export restricted. The standard one isn't, but you can find them in Canada.
Rampart! is the official Canadian distributor.
Target Sports Canada (in Gormley, Ontario) carries the standard WML, is in stock, and the last time I checked, they were $165 or $169.99.

As an fyi, it is not really "tan". The actual colour name is "Desert Sand", and is extremely light coloured and much more yellow than what we would consider to be "tan", "coyote brown", "flat dark earth", "darth earth", or "khaki".
The colour selection was provided as a pantone colour code direct from the US Army to InForce. Unfortunately, they have not updated any of the photos used in their marketing materials, and thus, the colour you see on the website and everywhere else on the internet is incorrect.
I have a Desert Sand one here, and will be mounting it to a gun that has a mix of "flat dark earth" and "tan" rails and accessories so that you get an idea of what it looks like.
Let's just say that the colour was nothing like I'd imagined.
Beyond these issues, I think the formfactor and the concept is great. However, how it's used and where it's placed will depend on your shooting style, and as multi-use as it may seem, I can see limitations in how its used for the exact same reasons - primarily due to it's unibody emitter/button design. I'm also finding that I dislike the multi-use button. In a controlled environment, using it makes sense. However, in a live fire scenario when you are performing under stress, I find multi-use buttons to not work out so well. You press it too fast, you hold it too long, you press it too quick, you press it not quick enough... and all of a sudden, it's doing something that you had not planned for. This is why I prefer a single use button with ONE purpose: momentary on. At most, include a deeper press for constant on. Being able to switch from low/hi or hi/low and then throwing in a strobe function plus momentary AND constant-on in to the mix will really throw you off your game in mid use.
Keep it cave man simple.
