Folks who run Surefire lights on their Glocks...

.. is universal light attachment secure enough, or you'd recommend rail lock?

The pistol in question is G19, and the light is X300. I need to order my RCS holster, but I don't have my pistol at hand so I can't just go and test it.

Moderators: if you feel that this belongs to lights section, please move it.

It is my experience that the rail lock is overkill.

I run an X300 on a G35 and have never had an issue... I think they make a great combo...

i keep a x200B on my G34, and it has always been just fine....


the TLR-1 that is on the G17 near the wife isn't anymore secure IMHO

The standard universal lock was more than good enough. Attach it when you get home, yank it off when you carry.

As for the rail lock, when I moved it from my G19 to my rifle, THAT'S when it came in handy.

Not a Glock, but . . .

I install the rail lock on my X200 and X300s, for all applications.

Reason is, at a instructor class my X200 (secured by the standard lock) fell off my the rail on my 1911. Twice. This convinced me that the rail lock is a good idea.

3 yrs later, the rail lock 100% for sure retains the light on the pistol.

The rail on the 1911 is in spec at best as I can tell. Don't know if perhaps it was tolerance stacking with the rail, or with the light.

I also run X300's on all my glocks, and my AR's for that matter. After thousands of rounds through the glocks, universal attachment is still 100% solid.
