I've had a TLR1 on my Glock 17/34 for a while now, but I'm beginning to question it's functionality a bit. In the role of a nightstand gun, it makes sense to only have 1 item to grab in the middle of the night.
On the other hand, I don't like having to use my trigger finger to run the light. If I use the constant-on mode, it isn't an issue, but if using the momentary switch, you lose the light when you need to fire. If I take a bit of a weird grip (or if the switch protruded farther) I can just the light with my off-hand thumb but that seems like it's just asking for trouble.
I'm wondering if a hand-held light might be a more versatile option. How do others feel about weaponlights vs. hand-held lights with handguns?
I realize the best thing would be to attend a low-light class and try everything out under the watchful eye of one of the more capable instructors...but that's just not working out for me financially or geographically for the time being.
