  1. I'll agree that the new streamlight weapons lights are really great. But the low switch seemed to work best for me. I wear a large size gloves and my fingers are long. I'm completely satisfied with my tlr8a flex and mounted them on my glock 19 and 23 and my sig320c. And I mounted the low switch on all three. It might have something to do with hand size or just personal preference. I haven't even considered it before. But it has not altered my grip nor my accuracy. And I personally consider the streamlight. The best on the market for my needs. Enough practical light for a defensive handgun and just the right size to carry comfortably for extended times. And I understand that it might not ne the best light for everyone. It's a perfect blend of size and funtion and light power gor me. And I cowitnessed the laser to my sights. So I really can't see it when useing the sighs. So why get the laser? Basically everyone understands the meaning of that red dot. And understands it's meaning. And unless they are completely psychotic. Most will back off or run at that dot on their chest. And if I'm able to end a deadly force incident without fireing a shot. I'm alright with that. But the one thing I recomend is low light training in its use. That's tje most important thing to consider. And the carrying of a decent pocket size flashlight. My edc light is small and compact and had 450 lumens and a high and low light setting as well as a strobe function. Some like it dome don't. I like it because in certain situations blinding a threat gives me a chance to change location or to retreat from the area. And 450 lumens in someone's eyes is definitely going to ruin their vision for a while. And being able to get out of the danger zone with out having to use deadly force avoids the hassle of useing deadly force. And even in a home defensive situation were I use a ar9 carbine as my primary home defensive weapon and a streamlight protac HLX light mounted on it. The same holds true. But with 1000 lumens and double tje blinding power. And increased accuracy and velocity. Every advantage is own my side. And without or with lasers. A weapons mounted light is necessary for positive threat identification in lowlight or no light situations.
