is that, in addition to the grip-activated membrane switch that doesn't require any addition motions to activate, it adds hardly any bulk to the gun and therefore hardly any bulk to the holster.The TLR-1s
is obviously much brighter, but requires a separate motion to activate and is also larger, necessitating a fairly sizable holster. Some people carry those things IWB, but for me, it pretty much relegates the gun to OWB carry or nightstand duty.Another issue is that the big lights require the holster to be fairly generously cut to get the thing in and out of there, like the RCS Phantom in the picture below:
I like my Lasermax on the Glock 21. Since it's internal no need for a different holster.

ReplyDelete"I like my Lasermax on the Glock 21."
Yes, but a Lasermax is not flashlight. ;)
With the improvements in LEDS I wonder when someone will bring out a FLGR with a light in it. (even though I'm not a fan of the FLGR)

ReplyDeleteI carry a G19 with a Surefire X300 in a holster very similar to the Raven pictured. (Kydex is Kydex.)
Mine appears to come up the underside of the trigger guard a little further making it VERY hard to even touch the back of the trigger, let alone the front of it.

ReplyDeleteRight. I should have continued to note that for a tactical light I like the Harrys technique so the light can be pointed without a muzzle accompanying it.
My sloppiness, sorry.
Very nice. Hopefully CT will release the Lightguard for more models. One for my SR9c would be quite welcome.
ReplyDeleteSteve Skubinna,
ReplyDeleteI carry a handheld light as well for that reason. WML is a pretty specialized tool.
With a plastic/composite frame, it should be relatively easy to build-in LED lights. Would work best with an integral reflector or lens LED design. Someone is missing the boat by not marketing this option. Inset in the front of the trigger guard, or a thick dust cover should be workable.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago a cop assigned to school duty had a ND in an elementary school classroom. One of the little kids worked his finger into the bulge that was added to the holster to clear the light, and reached the trigger.
