I am a Surefire or Streamlight kind of guy. I have been happy with....

X300's
TLR-1's
TLR-7's
etc.

Right this hot second I really like the Streamlight TLR-7A for a few reasons.

-Cost to quality and performance is good
-I prefer a wider beam profile and the TLR gives me a little wider profile. Not complete wall of light like the Surefire max visions but a nice mix of flood and throw.
-Single cell light. Makes for a smaller footprint as well as I like single cell lights.
-Loads battery from the front which is AWESOME.
-Controls on the "Alpha" model are almost perfect for me.
-Its an unobtrusive light on the front of a gun.


I don't think you would go wrong with any SUREFIRE, most Streamlights and although I don't have experience with them Inforce.

I do personally have a Crimson Trace CT208 on an HK45C and I have found I very much like this light as well but if I could fit one of the others I would go that route first just because they are more proven, although I have never seen issue with my CT208.

I did not have good luck with the TLR-1's. I have had zero issues on the X300's and certainly would give them highest marks, but of course expensive.

Streamlight for bang for the buck. If bucks are not a factor, then SureFire.

Surefire or Streamlight.

Most of us have been running Streamlight TLR-1/TLR-1HL for years with no issues.

I’m currently running the TLR-7A with the low switches on my duty gun (gen4 Glock 31) with no issues.



Not minority enough!

Surefire X300 can't be beat.

Do I need any mounting hardware for my 320x5 or is out of the box all that’s needed?

Good to go out of the box. Surefire X300U is the book compromise choice. TLR-1 HL is also good for about half the price. I have both listed in my ad in the classifieds.

I have Surefire x300 ultra, stream light TLR-1hd and a TLR-7.

The surefire is on my duty SBR. My TLR-1 is on my issued G17.4. My TLR7 is on my personally owned G19.5 MOS. I really like the size and amount of light of the TLR7.
