Duty use setup is the X300 too large? ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you! | ||

AFAIC, yes, it is, RDS or not. It sticks way out there on a G19. | |||

I have to agree, the x300 looks and fits nicely on a G34 but looks silly on a G19. I’m a bog fan of the TLR7 sized light on a G19. _________________________ "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last” - Winston Churchil | |||

Duty use? Depends on the duty. For plain clothes? Yeah it’s a little big. For uniformed services? It’s just right. ________________ People hate you. Train like it. | |||

30 minute run time concerns me with the TRL7

Damn that light looks huge on that Glock 17 Para. Thanks for the visual aid. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Really isn’t that big a deal. I carried a 19 for a couple years out of appendix. You know how active being on a task force is. I only had to recharge the battery every few weeks. If the battery went down, I replaced it with a spare 123. The 7A worked well for interior searches. Outside, in any kind of fog or rain the x300 rules supreme. I can tell a difference on really humid nights. ________________ People hate you. Train like it. | |||

To big? Yeah, sticks out like a sore thumb. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an awesome light, but just too damn big for medium or small frame guns like a G-19. Im using a SureFire XCL: Not that big of a profile, and still bright. https://www.surefire.com/xc1-c-weaponlight/ Streamlight has some smaller profile ones too. I just don’t know about holster availability for some of the models. If it’s a duty gun, holster availability is a big issue. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

For real? |
Nope. I got one guy with a G45 with a Surefire. Not bad for duty use. I know my TLR-7HLX fit fine in my holster meant for the TLR-1. I'm using the TLR-1HLX now with the rechargeable batteries. So far so good.  Not minority enough! | |||

TLR1-HL likely a better choice size wise. I just like Surefire stuff quite a bit and am starting to gravitate back that way Since Cloud Defensive seems to be in shambles internally I won’t be buying anymore. And who knows if we’ll ever see the EPL. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

I identify with this as well. I just kind of prefer surefire’s means of actuation. I’ve been issued and carried the Surefire X300, the Streamlight TLR 7 and the Streamlight TLR 1. I would have no problem using and carrying any of them, and certainly from a size perspective the TLR 7 was definitely more appropriate for some applications than others, but for a duty type application, a Surefire would tend to be my first choice. To me, their push actuation is the most natural and everything just seemed to fit me the best. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

the new TLR1HLX, you can push the button for activation. It's a weird button that can do push in, or press down. Not minority enough! | |||

I picked up a TLR1 HL for $130. I did not really want to spend the nearly $100 extra for the X and don’t need 1500 lumens. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

I did not know that. Thank you for the info, that may mean I’ll memes to pick up a TLR1HLX sooner than later. Thanks again “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

For duty use, size is secondary and performance is primary. The X300 with a DG switch is hard to beat for that application. AKA John E.
