I have been thinking...when there is a bump in the night, I have to put on my glasses (big pain in the butt when it is dark and you are disoriental) open my Simplex button lockbox (great addition to any home!) grab my pistol (condition 3 on everything, but thinking about doing C1 for my USP and KZ45, or C2 for my Beretta) THEN find a flash light. Kind of a lot to do in a hurry.
I am thinking about putting a SureFire on my nightstand gun. Between the Millenium, Nitrolon polymer and Classic, which is the best to put on a civvie's nightstand gun? The Millenium may be more tactical, but a little too big, a little too bright (uses more batteries) and a little too expensive for my purposes. Is the Classic 3v or 6v? I would consider it if it were 6V, but 3V is too little. 6v IMO is just perfect, but the Classic seems a little big. That leaves the Nitrolon. Both Wilson and Beretta have them mounted in their brochures and catalogs leaving me to think they are decent. The Nitrolon seems to be the most 'balanced' in every way.
The only reservation I have is that I am wary of another Nitrolon. I had an 8NX that I detested.
Another thing is should I get the shuttle switch? My concern (with or without the shuttle) is a flashlight AD in the gun box because of the pressure of the foam pads and running my batteries down.
Finally, I would like it to be compatible with all my handguns. Right now my USP45C is my primary nightstand gun. I have my Beretta by my desk (I sit here for hours a day reading gun and knife drivel online so it makes sense to put a gun nearby) so I would like it to be compatible with this light. I know the Vertec and my KZ45 are compatible because of photos in the respective gun catalogs. So which of these lights is compatible with all my handguns guns, or are they all?
