I only plan on buying one if I do indeed get one.... What's the best BANG for my buck (no pun intended)?

-One that will work on all my railed models (G19, G23*, G30)
*have been hearing .40cals don't like light attachments

-Don't want "el-cheapo" but not spending the price of a decent firearm on one either

-A quality product with a reputable name

Suggestions fellas?:wavey:

TLR-1. Can find it on sale for < $100 sometimes.

The .40 issue was primarily (only?) with older G22s. Never hard of it happening with G23s but someone who knows more can chime in.

Very happy with this. Don't let the price fool you. I shot about 500 rounds with this on and it didn't even budge. You can shake your gun around by the light and nothing will move.

Agreed. Bang or the buck, TLR-1.

Absolutely the Streamlight TLR-1 models! I had others asking what kind of light I had when mine was putting their Surefires to shame at my last night qualification.

Good deal on them here... Chief Supply - Streamlight TLR-1s

Another vote for the TLR-1.

Streamlight TLR-1s (the one with strobe...)
Can generally find a great sale on them (But i won't buy from Opticsplanet.com regardless of their prices).

I'm going to get a tlr-1. The exchange by my house stocks them for 104. No tax, no wait. Plus I can always return it promptly if I don't like it.

+1 on the TLR

I have no experience with this one but I've read good things:

I purchased several light/laser combos, my favorite is TLR2 because of the solid body, hold and bright light and I absolutely agree with the previous posters about the performance and everything... However, just to be on the safe site, I would not put it on any polymer full size frame gun… Compact and large size frames are OK to accept metal frame lights as far as I know but I can be wrong of course … I find it to be more of reliability issue than changing the cover plate with one with sign on it …
My spin on it is: yes, it is a great light, lots of people are using it and there is nothing wrong about it if they shot with it and know that their guns are not experiencing any problems, but also they are serious problems reported when this light was mounted on a Glock pistol, so it’s a no for me if I have to use it with reliability in mind.

If you’re looking for light only, Streamlight makes two models – one that uses normal size AA Lithium batteries ( http://www.insightlights.com/products-aa.htm ) and one that uses 123 size Lithium batteries with the same specs (http://www.insighttechgearstore.com/m3xledpive.html )
Both models are with polymer bodies, they being proven not to cause any problems when mounted on frames that flexes hard during firing, such as Glock, plus I like the quick release on the first model, I’ll probably get one of those combos for myself, I don’t like to deal with looking for quality 123 size batteries, and they are more expensive too.

I just got a TLR-1s for $114 out the door at a local shop. LOVE IT! I'm thinking about getting a second one for my AR.

I like the TLR-3 I got for $65 at retail. It's the smallest. I'm not a hard use light guy or expert. I like the fast put on and remove of the X300 more but for a dedicated light staying put on a house gun, my TLR-3 seems pretty good.

I have an NcStar on my G23 nightstand /house gun. Got is at a gunshow for $25. It's a good sturdy light. I also see Crimson Trace is coming out with a Light Guard. I would like to see that in real life, not just on their website.

I had bought a lightly used M3X a couple of years back for $60 but it was the old fashioned kind. I wanted a new LED weapon light but did not want to shell out a lot of money. I just got the LED upgrade for about $50 from cheaper than dirt, very bright! The only thing I dislike is the finish on the bezel. I'd say it's a matte gray. I'm going to call CCR & see if they'll refinish it.

I picked up a wx150 for my 17 last year iirc I payed $139 shipped. I wanted a light the I didn't have to fumble around with easy on, easy off no screew to mess with. And it dosent stick out as far as the tlr. Glad I got it when I did because the price has risen since.
