Surefire XC1

[scooter22]

Anyone have a pic of one @ 1200 on an AR? I'd like to see how lo-pro it is.

No way this fits a pps does it?

Ask and you shall receive. Its VERY low pro. With an Aimpoint T2 in a LT660 mount, you cannot see the XC1 in your FOV like you can the X300.

Thanks.

Looks pretty slick. I might have to pick one up.

Thank you very much for this, it is exactly what I want to do with the XC1 and why I want the XC1

The switch for the XC1 is ONE directional, only. By putting it upside down, you cannot press "down" on the ears to turn it on.

So it may be a no go for some.

So its a No-Go on a rifle at 12 o clock.

I want to disagree completely. Only being able to activate by pushing either the momentary switches 'up' (while mounted at 12 o'clock), or using the slider bar for constant, negligent discharge is virtially impossible while ease of use (wedging my thumb under the switch and shoving forward if not also lifting up a bit while doing so) to activate them remains.

However, I have yet to actually get mine yet.

Oh, it will work that way, but wow ease of use is not there, at least for me. I edited that its a *No-GO*, buts still going to take effort.

Honest question, not meant to detract from your own experience, but do you think that having used an X300U prior to using the XC1 in the same fashion might have something to do with the finding of less than ideal ease of use?

My WML experience is limited to Surefire 6px tacticals in Gear Sector offset mounts, I look forward to only having to flick up instead of jamb my thumb against. Heavy and not the most comfortable or convenient without a VFG or something similar to leverage my hand against, but that's me, I know someone out there just read that and mentally rolled their eyes while thinking 'pussy'.

Can any of you with an XC1 and a Glock 17/20/21/22 post a pic of how it fits beneath the longer slide?

Tnx in advance.
