Hi folks!
I recently purchased the Crimson Trace Lightguard LED gun light for my Home Defense weapon, the Springfield XD(M) .40 caliber.
I really like the design of this light, it's rated at 100 lumens, throws a nice smooth circle of light, and the actuator falls naturally under your grip. Tighten your grip and the light turn on, loosen your grip slightly an it tuns off. No fumbling for a switch up ahead of your trigger guard, just squeeze and the light comes on!
And it looks like part of the gun. I bet if I showed this to a non-gun person, they wouldn't even realize the light is there, or they would think it was part of the gun "from the get go"!
I played with this set-up last night, and it seems very effective. Perfectly centered, plenty bright for it's purpose, and it couldn't be any easier to use.
Not cheap, I paid $129, but it's easy to install, and it takes a fairly standard CR2 battery (rated for 2 hours). But the main thing is how easy it is to use, squeeze and it comes on, relax and it turns off!
I like it!
