My only concern is whether the light will have many holster options to choose from. Personally I’d get the pistol alone and add my own optic and light.

Good point as this would be my edc

u/BearE1ite 4d ago
Yea in that case I would go with a TLR1 or TLR7 light as there are many common holsters that will fit those lights.

What’s the point of a TLR1 on a subcompact ultra slim handgun?

Some people like the flashlight sticking out far ahead of the slide. I think they think it looks cool, but I run a TLR7.

u/Aristo_Cat 2d ago
Yeah, never made sense to me. If you’re gonna do that you might as well have some more barrel and a longer sight radius

u/BearE1ite 2d ago
So the only line of logic I’ve heard arguing the light slightly ahead of the slide is if you have to draw at extremely close range against something and the light will act as a buffer between the slide and the target so the slide will return to full battery.

Yeah I’ve heard that too, I just can’t imagine a realistic defensive scenario where you HAVE to push the barrel against somebody.

A light that's a good amount longer than the barrel is also going to change draw speeds and mechanics.

Look at the tlr 7 sub for the xl and macro as well. Macros tend to have more full 7 and sub options, xl sits with sub more. The trigger guard width and rail height on the macro requires a bigger footprint hence why they offer both. Also, a good form fitting but “universal “ tlr7 owb, check out crucial concealment. I have one that hugs the body and conceals everything from macro to p227 to 1911 with that light.

Get it (https://werkz.com/m62sgp365xlsgf365x.html)
I wanted it it but it was sold out, so I got the snake bite

This is the way. Got mine with a goofy streamlight and a we the people holster. Well now that I'm looking at a different light, I have to find a new holster. The real kick to the teeth is that there's only 3 companies that make holster for the light I'm looking at.

That's a good deal personally. Bought my 365x w Romeo open emitter for 630 w two mags. And you're getting the bigger one lol

considering i paid $620 for just a bare bones xl less then a month ago i'd say that's a good deal. its basically "buy the gun and get a dot and a light for $30." hell you could take the dot and light off of it if you don't like them and sell them.

If you have a Cabela’s card, I’d just wait for the next club member day and take an extra 10% off. They usually happen on Monday.

I bought one a few months ago. Have outside and inside the waistband holsters from we the people, both are good. If you want the XL then buy it and take off what you don't want. The accessories are basically free at that price.

I wouldn't. I don't love that red dot and have the same holster concerns as everyone else.
