    Tlr1s but no laser ....think they make a version with one but I didn't want strobe or laser so I got the HL 1000 LUMEN
    think the laser thing pushes it past your allotted budget

    I've got an x300, tlr1s, olight pl mini2 and the full size pl pro I like them all the x300 lives on my ar the mini is my edc and the tlr is what I use when I put any of my guns in my omnivore on my war belt. Got the other olight on sell it's a spare. Tried it but it was too big for my canik elite combat executive it would be good in g22/17 sized guns

    I really like the light ...like I said I don't have the S model as I don't want the strobe, I really only need the light function but I have the hl and for the price it's amazing
    As posted above I too have an omnivore holster on my range belt and that's the cats a$$ ....one holster and you throw your tlr1 on any pistol you have and you can use the same holster

    That's one reason why I have not got a light yet is because of my holster. So I appreciate the holster information also.

    My only gripe about that holster is having to adjust the different guides for sizes

    I was (and to some extent still am) a big Surefire fan. They are great lights but, I think they have focused so much on their military contracts that they have started to price themselves out of the consumer market. I have a X300 and it is a great light. But I can also tell you my last weapon 2 weapon lights were Streamlights. You can get into a Streamlight TLR-1 HL (1000 lumen) for $127.00 on Amazon - 5 Stars with 13,441 reviews.

    I personally like a bright light say 800 lumens or higher. Really dislike strobe light because that can affect you as well in a very dark situation.

    If you want to save money and still have a good warranty and great customer service Check out this site.

    But can you find a holster to fit?
    Another option la police gear makes one that is patterned after the tlr1 for like 60

    I use night stick myself 850 lumens.
    I've seen a few holsters for them but not as easy to find. Idk about the op but I always have a lift on my gun and want to make sure I can get a holster for it

    Good point about holsters. X300's and TRL's are the most prevalent and holster makers are now making light specific (any gun) holsters.

    Gotta keep resale in mind. Specialize too much and you'll have have problems finding buyers for your expensive prima donna equiptment. Consequently, buy one of the two most popular WML's, and you may well lope into a great deal on some used equipment?

    Might be worth a WTB add for an x300? I bought both of mine used, at a decent discount. One of them came with a RCS holster wrapped around it...

    I use tacticon.com stuff on rifle and home defense pistols because I like to support Jake. He's good people and someone you would want on your side when SHTF.
