Pistol light

[BLJ]

Liked to have a new light for the Shield X.
Had a TLR-8 with the green laser in the past that seemed solid. They are a little light in run time at .5 hours.

Not sure if I would actually need a laser. Looking for a solid light more than anything else.

This will be for a SW Shield X 9mm. 3.6 barrel with a Picatinny rail. Thanks.

For a compact/mid sized gun, the TLR-7 HL-X is a pretty optimal balance of brightness (both spill and throw) and being pretty small. Very easy to change batteries, as it's an out-the-front design. Been very happy with mine. Would go with something bigger/brighter if it were a duty weapon, but for G-19 or smaller sized gun, it's pretty optimal. Wouldn't worry at all about a laser for EDC.

Thanks.
To clarify the use of the pistol will be a home and woods gun. Carried concealed (in some sort of chest pack or bino harness) or in a chest holster or belt holster (haven’t decided on that yet either).

I agree about the laser as I’m going to eventually put a red dot on it. I don’t think that a laser would be necessary and possibly a conflict with a red dot.

I’ll look into the 7.

FWIW, I have learned that I dont need as much light as I thought especially for a house gun, , 1k lumens is ALOT inside of a room.
