Tactical Handgun Lighting
Gents:
Just recently acquired my first personally purchased tactical handgun light.
I bought a Surefire X200A, which I had previously examined at the Shot Show. It is a 6v. light, momentary or constantly switched, and it is absolutely tiny for the illumination it puts out. It will also slip quite handily on any rifle or carbine with a free section of 1913 rail, I tried it on my M-4 and it works great at less than half the size of the WeaponsLights. This light also makes a very convenient hand held light. I have decided that if not mounted already, this light will go in my tactical vest permanently.
I had no pistol on hand with a tactical rail, so I had to order a rail and have it installed.
I bought the Caspian Recon Rail, and had my local smith install it on my house pistol, a modified Para P-13 Limited.
Here are a few pics of the weapon with the rail, which is a pretty compact package.
Hope this helps someone who is looking for a light.
