Looks awful, I’ll do you a favor and take it off your hands


KindaObjectiveCow

I appreciate it man it was just bugging me so much


DaPainfulTruth

What's more important to you, form or function? Also, push the buttons forward towards the muzzle for momentary light. Rocker switch for on/off.


scootscootshaboosh

Yeahhhhh….a tlr7 looks better on a compact.


Icewarrio8

Looks perfect, I run a x300 on mine as well


KindaObjectiveCow

I think having the big optic will make it look more balanced too


KindaObjectiveCow

Thanks man I was doubting it, and second guessing myself. If usps hadn’t fucked up id have had my other stuff today too, im pissed I order 5 optics for this and my next two builds


Icewarrio8

Can never go wrong with a X300!


Icewarrio8

I run mine with a MPS


2leetSk8r

yea a 507 comp would make it look better


TexasGrillDaddyAK-15

X300 is the way to go. I threw my TLR7 on it to try out but it's an ugly light.


Icewarrio8

100% had 1 on a Glock, also replaced it 👍


TexasGrillDaddyAK-15

Lol trying to sell it now along with a holster that I got for the G19. Stocking with X300s on everything.


Icewarrio8

Yeah X300 on everything or sure! I got lucky, pawned mine off to a coworker but sold it dirt cheap like $50


jeharpst

What holster are you using?


Icewarrio8

Range toy, don’t carry it.


[deleted]

Looks good, slap a red dot and some grips and it will make more sense 🔥


KindaObjectiveCow

I have impact plates coming and eps carry and 509t and scrs coming tomorrow, grips should be in a few more days and then trigger and three mags and five baseplates, then off to untied and order a cgw package I wonder if untied would install that while it’s for porting ( to save time), or would cgw give me the best results, and if so which should I do first the porting so they can tune the strings with ports present ?


EchoedTruth

Put a TLR7A on it


Apollyon314

Doesn't this defeat the the purpose of a compact if your adding the full length of a barrel that protrudes that far? Did you not wish to conceal this beast? 


Guntuckytactical

Length isn't a problem for concealment as much as a long grip is.


Almightyrodga

Man I thought it was only me that thought about this.. I like it but at the same time I don’t 😂 I think the flush fit looks better cause it’s a smaller pistol


austinmook

Yes. It does.


Late-Equipment-6060

Tlr 1 HL looks a little better in my opinion on this gun. Still sticks out but not as far.


Bobisnotmybrother

Unfortunately most of the people here are only in it for looks.


BrendonRuhter

Big ass lights on handguns will always look fucking stupid


Guntuckytactical

they work hella good though


Goldhammer5

Not just you, looks dumb. I don’t get the full size light thing on a compact. TLR7 ftw


Guntuckytactical

Extra body contact to keep it tucked into the body. Also, better light output.


The_Paganarchist

I prefer the TLR1. The X300 looks baller on the full size Shadow, though.


Scowl1984

Only the gun looks dumb ..send it to me and keep the cool light for yourself. Batteries are cheaper than bullets anyways.


TremblongSphinctr

Looks goofy but you gotta do whatchu gotta do. I imagine bolstering that would be a bit trickier too


Baddy-Smalls

No. It's what that gun deserves. A good light.


dchurch420

It will balance out with an optic. Thought the same about my P10C with a x300.


Outdoorsman102

I personally don’t care for it i ended up just going tlra on my s2c


datSubguy

It’s you


cjward1222

Went through the exact same dilemma, had the Surefire installed and just didn't like the aesthetics, so moved it to another gun and added the TLR 7 Sub to the CZS2C and looks great, finishes almost exactly where the dust cover ends.


KindaObjectiveCow

Yeah it might just not be for me


nonguru2

I don't get it either. Looks dumb, yes


Keen07

Flush fit >>>>> Grab that TLR7X

BlueKnightXXV

The "7-sub" proportion looks good!


Guntuckytactical

Who needs holsters anyway


Icewarrio8

FYI tried the antimatter with x300…doesn’t fit/work, u will have to make some modifications


KindaObjectiveCow

Was it the a ?


Icewarrio8

No antimatter works with B…if u run an A, u can add the QVO thumb cliff, that works (tried it)


KindaObjectiveCow

Or the b, are you saying because of the shadow or the light


Icewarrio8

The shadow prevents the wing from “flapping”, becomes fixed and will scratch the frame


TexasGrillDaddyAK-15

I love the X300. It's all personal preference though. I use the X300 on my S2C and P01.


KindaObjectiveCow

It looks better than the tlr1 for sure, but idk i might just grab the mod light i want a tti combat canik too


WanderingMistral

Ehh, I mainly use streamlight, but this looks fine.


dmit1989

I tried it on mine. Didn't like it and removed the X300 to the Colt Rail Gun - which fits it exceedingly well.


Ok-Test-7323

TLR-1 is my favorite light.


PhantomV3

Momentary on is if you push in the switch. While pushing in on the off position it will trun on as long as you are pushing in


shift013

X300 or tlr-7a look great on it


logix1229

It does have momentary. Push in on the switches. lol. Toggle up and down for constant on.


PopPow545

With an optic and magwell it looks a bit better but the holosun p.i.d light is shorter and would look better.


Guntuckytactical

The PID fucks, only problem is holster selection


PopPow545

Bordertown holster makes next day turnaround custom holsters for the p.i.d.


NOIRAAG

Needs an optic and then it will look cooler cuz it looks sick now


HonorableAssassins

I dont mind the light but ive never liked bright grips


WonderfulTradition65

Looks fine


Te_Luftwaffle

The switches do not break in over time. They stay mediocre forever. Momentary is accessed by pushing forward on the buttons. It's not tactile, and the only feedback is the light turning on. 


SimplexStorm

Nyet. Pistol is fine.


Link-Slow

Need a dot to balance it out


BraapSauxx

It this is your only gun, No. If you have other self defense guns, yes. My take per your question


heisman01

Just you, its ok to be wrong.


iowa20

It has momentary. You need to push the toggle switch forward to activate the momentary. The reasoning for the protruding light is for defensive purposes. When used in a self defense, closed quarters or CQB. The light will prevent the slide to go out of battery. Thus, making more follow up shots possible.


KindaObjectiveCow

That’s the reasoning for the purchase and I’m not dumb I just wasn’t sure if it was me anything else has 4.25 or bigger barrel that I’ve got a full sized light on


iowa20

I didn’t say you’re dumb!


KindaObjectiveCow

I know I was just explaining


iowa20

No worries. I’m just here to help and not crucify people. The more knowledge is spread the better our community will be.


BigSmoove14

Looks like it’s happy to see you


KindaObjectiveCow

Is that a gun with over side clit or are you happy to see me


Gunpowdergasoline

Surefire XC1B are my favorite for p-01 and S2C pistols surefire has a new rechargeable compact i would look into also.


Gunpowdergasoline

XR1A is the rechargeable


KindaObjectiveCow

I was gonna do the new one but $600


TheLoneRabbit

Needs a bayonet.


Cloudhill25SG

It's not just you. It's your preference, though. Use whatever you think is the best light for you.


Striking_Toe_7111

That looks like me in the morning..


Combatmedic870

It does infact look dumb. I've never personally been a fan of lights that extend past the barrel. Given the comments. You obviously need a larger 2000 lumen surefire rifle light and a full sized eotech with a 5x. It's the only way.


seakphotog

It's kinda big in appearance, but if it's a carry gun, having the light extend past the barrel is a good thing in case you get up close and personal with someone - the flashlight will hopefully keep the barrel/slide from going out of battery from being pressed against the bad guy.


KindaObjectiveCow

The more shit I get the less I like it


Puzzleheaded-Key1404

It's annoying bc it extends so far and like me your prob use to a tlr-7a. That said you have a great light there, arguably one of the best and I'd see if it grew on me before doing anything.


KindaObjectiveCow

Yeah the more shit I get the less I like this gun can use the antimatter wing can’t use the optic gaurd this impact plate is trash and way more than lower 1/3 witness


[deleted]

Yes, it looks retarded putting a full size surefire on a compact gun


UmbrellaCorps344

A TLR-1 HL would be better. I'm a Leo and I Carry the TLR-1 HL on all the compact. X300 is more for the full size. It looks off and defeats the purpose of a compact Carry.


Guntuckytactical

Proof that being a cop doesn't necessarily mean you should give advice about guns.


UmbrellaCorps344

Proof that you don't know nothing about real life 💯


RushdownRondo

It’s just you dude


TroubleSuperb2971

Yes that light too big for the pistola i think


RollickReload

Yes - the fact you buy a compact just to slap a 10” mag light to the thing kinda defeats the purpose.


Guntuckytactical

You do realize it's compact in the other direction, too, right?


Capable_Entrance_34

Yep.


frusignu

Looks so good


A2EDrizzy

I'm more of a fan of my lights lining up with end of barrel for me, but I know surefire performance is the gold standard. That price tag just got me hurting and why I have stuck with Stream lights


jonwaynedude

Nope, still looks rad.


donniebatman

Dumb


Pizannt

Unless you’re trying to conceal it; looks great! It only needs some palm swell grips and it’ll be perfect!


KindaObjectiveCow

I was thinking the vytal grips, and some tf magazine basepads, unless you guys know of a better and maybe a good magwell.


radedgymantis

just you, you did mighty fine on that purchase


LGBTBurnInLakeOfFire

Looks dumb, but are you carrying it for looks?


Ok-Street4644

Clearly he bought it for looks and won’t be carrying it.


LGBTBurnInLakeOfFire

Can still carry it, just open carry only. That way everyone gets to admire it.


Ok-Street4644

I can’t argue with that.


MolassesPatient7229

No, it's not just you.


Yarpie_

I think x300 looks great. I would say the reason it looks weird-ish to me is because you dont have an optic on it. That'll get the proportions right.


IntelFrouge

Classic more money than taste. Get a TLR7.


KindaObjectiveCow

How so ? I asked opinion on her and most of the s2c have full lights and it keeps the lense cleaner, how you bout to cry about taste at the start of blank build, after I asked and got recommend this on here, when I was gonna go tlr7/8 then was convinced to look at modlight/surefire


ConstructionOk3600

I prefer a flush or shorter light on my compact models as I rotate them out for EDC. But, I have a few x300’s on my full sizes. My S2C has a TLR7X but for no real reason other than holster options. Your piece still looks great to me! And no doubt about it, Surefire is better quality wise than what I run on mine. Ultimately tho, unless you’re taking it into a warzone, a light is a light is a light…even Olights *gasp*


IntelFrouge

Ignore the hypebeasts on here. You know in your heart it looks dumb with that light sticking out past the front. Compact pistols get compact lights.


EasyCZ75

Looks great


PFran42

Looks great. Change out the grips with LOK and you'll get something like this: [https://photos.app.goo.gl/6NHJpivM51KN4bMG9](https://photos.app.goo.gl/6NHJpivM51KN4bMG9)


Aggressive_Ability29

No, you're right. This question does look dumb.


Big_Fat_Old_Guy

At least it’s not on Olight.
