Thoughts on this. So my glock 19 serves double duty as my bed stand hd gun and rides in the truck during the day. Not using this one concealed. Looking to add a rail mounted weapon light. Probably a surefire hrlr1 I believe it is. Thought on this from someone who uses them please.

The TLR series tactical lights are excellent.

Have surefire, streamlight, inforce, and O light.
Onlight really surprised me how great they are and the rechargeable units are actually nice. Look at them if you haven’t.
Surefire x300 will illuminate the moon, but it’s huge and expensive
Inforce is nice and not expensive, but not as bright. Weigh less and tend to be narrower
Streamlight is very hard to beat for the money though. I tend to fall back on streamlight the most.

I chose the Streamlight TLR8 AG. Fits like it was made specifically for the G19. From their website: ![[Linked Image from streamlight.com]](https://www.streamlight.com/images/default-source/product-large-images/tlr-8ag_handhigh_3.jpg) ![[Linked Image from streamlight.com]](https://www.streamlight.com/images/default-source/product-large-images/tlr-8ag_highglock_5.jpg) 500 lumens, green laser. I like it.

For the money Streamlight TLR 1 and the new O-lights are awesome and plenty reliable. I get a significant discount on surefire and thusly have a couple x300’s and and xh35 that I won’t be giving up anytime soon.

I have also been impressed with the olight so far, but haven't given it enough of a shake out to be sure I want more.

One of the biggest differentiators on pistol lights is the way the switch operates. A TLR-1 works differently than a TLR-7A which is also different than a Surefire X300 which is also different than an O-Light. If you can get somewhere you can try out the various mechanisms you might find one really suits you better than the others.

I have a Streamlight now, but looking at an Olight for a replacement.

Haven't tried. When our ranges go hot again, I'll give it a whirly and see what happens.

I usually use Surefire X300/300U or a Streamlight TLR model but recently got a Olight Pl-2 Mini and can see myself buying more. These are awesome little lights and love not having to keep up with batteries, just charge it every once in a while. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50001640056_d3a282408f_b.jpg) P320C by .com/photos/wareagle700/]X Ring, on [bleep]
