    Glock 19 light

    I have a glock 19 and I am looking for a good light I was think about getting a surefire x300u for it. Does the x300u work with the glock 19 since it was designed around the g17?

    It works, but any light that extends beyond the muzzle is going to get a lot of carbon fouling on it which you'll need to deal with every time you shoot. It's not a big deal, but just something to consider. I don't care about carbon on the head; just the lens. If I were in the market for a G19 light, I'd look at the INFORCE APLC.

    I have an X300U on my G19 but I also have a TBRCi comp on it. I recently switched from an X300 on my G17 to an APL gen 3, and have been very happy with it.

    It works, but with the OAL, I prefer the the X300U on longer combinations for a few reasons. I tend towards a G17 length minimum for that. On the G19, there are some good options available. Many chase lumens, but there's more to it than that.

    TLR1 works also. Not quite as long as the U boat. Just food for thought.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    I agree. The X300U is way long and I will be getting TLR-1s from here out

    I have an X300U on a G17, and it is a very bright light, but also quite large. I used to have a Streamlight TLR4 on my G19, but now have a TLR6 and find it is an excellent light. I had www.onyour6design.com build a holster for me yesterday and it is an excellent setup. I have three TLR6's, two are on Shields, one is on the G19. I plan on putting one on a second G19 and a G26...

    If you really need a light past 30-40 yards, I may choose to go with the X300 or TLR 1, but if you are talking CQB distances, the TLR6 with the laser is an outstanding package for around $100

    I like the X300 and have been using them in 19s since they were X200s.

    Coat the lens with oil or chapstik before a range session.

    I carry an XC1 on my G19.5, I was surprised by how bright it was. This is for CC. I was using an X300, but it’s just too uncomfortable for me, so it’s been repurposed for non-CC. Doesn’t extend beyond the muzzle, and really doesn’t add any considerable bulk. They just released a new XC1 w/ 300 lumens and one that has a laser, as well. If you’re into that. My point is CC- XC1, open- X300. Get both, if you like having options, like I do.
