How are the Crimson Trace Light Guard flashlights holding up?

[The Dumb Gun Collector]

Hey

Now that the silliness seems to be subsiding. I was thinking about picking up another high cap .40. The M&P 40 with laser grips is one of my favorites, and I was thinking about running the CT light guard. Anybody running one? Are they reliable?

My wife keeps one on her carry G17 which she doesn't leave home without---it's holding up just fine. But it has 2 'cons' in my opinion---output isn't as good as a TLR/APL/x300/ect and the button is right under the trigger guard. Most people like to remove polymer from that area for a better grip, not add material. I do find it to be less comfortable to grip with the light on.

It's not a bad light but just be aware of those things.
