Advice on Pistol Light...

Still alive said:
All your choices work fine. The Inforce is cheapest. I use the X300 which is the older brother of the U. The light works great and throws a fairly wide beam. It gets dirty after shooting as it sticks out over the muzzle. It hasn't happened to me but there are stories of Glocks not cycling well with a mounted light. Usually with G22s though.
My only suggestion would be getting a shorter light that sits short of or flush with the muzzle, just for the carbon/ dirt factor.
So the Compact and Inforce should be good.

Old cop trick...rub a thin layer of Chapstick over the front and top of the light. Doesn't really affect the beam that much but protects the light from the soot, powder and carbon. When you are cleaning your pistol after shooting, just wipe off the Chapstick and it's as good as new. Re-apply Chapstick and put it away. Surprisingly, even withstands being holstered and reholstered.
 
Well I just ordered the X300U-A from Calgary Shooting Center!

Some great posts, advice and information posted in this thread; and I thank you all for taking the time to help me out.

Now the last matter at hand... If the wife asks anybody how much it cost me, the answer is $59 on the EE!!! Nobody say a goddamn word! You in the corner with the shifty eyes; yes you FoxAlpha; I blame you for pointing me to the best price!

All joking aside, thanks fellas for taking the time to help.

Cheers!
