Training issue.
You shouldn't be using the constant position because you are a shooter, not a lighthouse. Use the temporary position which requires switching the left side down (if you're right handed, this is much easier) It is actually a much more intuitive switch than pushing forward the Surefire X Series.
I started with the TLR-1 series in OIF and only recently (1yr) got Surefire lights because I wanted the IR Laser on the X400V (Which is a total piece of shit) and found the momentary switching of the Surefire switches totally suck. Do they suck? No, it's just a training issue.
As for the positioning, I haven't found much difference between the TLR and Surefire X300 series. I think (most) 1911s just place the rail a bit too far forward. Try getting a Glock 19 and joining the 21st Century (I kid, I kid...)
It's your call - if you own other SF X300s I would, for consistency's sake, sell the TLR and get another X300. If you don't, I would simply practice more. I have a TLR that is over a decade old that still rocks and rolls.
Why do the loudest do the least?
