Surefire LED Handgun Weapon Light
The SureFire X300 features a high-efficiency LED that generates 110 lumens of brilliant white light focused by a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens to produce a tight beam with good reach and significant surround light for peripheral vision. The LED has no filament to burn out or break and generates tactical-level light—enough to overwhelm an aggressor's night-adapted vision—for 2.4 hours per set of batteries. The high-strength aerospace aluminum body is Mil-Spec hard anodized for superior toughness and corrosion resistance, and is O-ring and gasket sealed to make it submersible to 22 meters. The X300 Rail-Lock system comes with adapter plates permitting rapid attachment to and removal from either Universal or Picatinny rails. An ambidextrous push/toggle switch provides one-finger operation for either momentary or constant-on operation. Optional pistol grip switches permit operation with the top grip finger, leaving the index finger free to operate the handgun trigger. Other switches…
I run a few X300s on long guns and pistols with no problems. Typical SureFire quality, very well built and functions well. The LED is rugged and very bright and stands up to 12-guage recoil with no problems. The rear switch works well on both long guns and pistols since you can bump it for momentary on or click it over for constant on. A LaRue mount makes it easily removed to swap between rifles but I find the factory mount to work best on pistols.If your light extends beyond the weapon's muzzle you'll notice the glass lens getting dirty very quickly. I've used the eraser trick before to clean the glass as stated in the instructions but it's a pain. A neat trick I picked up from a go-fast guy is to put a light coat of chapstick or equivalent on the lens, which will allow the carbon and soot to be wiped right off with a soft rag. It's neat because you've always got chapstick on you and it's simple and works.
