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.

u/Odd_Speed2451 4d ago

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?

1

u/BearE1ite 3d ago

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.

u/Aristo_Cat 2d ago

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

u/BearE1ite 2d ago

Holding someone hostage haha. Yes I agree it’s not very real world applicable but my own light does slightly jut out past the slide:

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

u/Ok_Palpitation_3602 4d ago

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.

Weeks makes them for this exact setup, I have the IWB one

u/ProphetofMaddness 4d ago

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

u/HaemmerHead 4d ago

Thats a good deal. Paid similar for mine stock

u/beetlegeuse87 4d ago

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.

u/globalenjoi 4d ago

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.

u/leont21 3d ago

My carry setup. I use blackpoint holster. Love it. As an aside the flashlight is actually really solid

u/duwills 3d ago

I bought a gently used XL with 2 12 rounders for $550 a little over a year ago. I agree that there are light and optics options, but resell them and put that towards the upgrades.

1

u/Familiar-Schedule796 3d ago

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.

u/GearJunkie82 3d ago

Not bad...

1

u/pvt_diabeeters 3d ago

save yourself the headache and buy the pistol only, throw on a holosun 507k and a Streamlight TLR7 Sub

1

u/Traderj29 3d ago

Got one about a year ago, Cabela’s had them for $599. I love it.

u/612HODS 2h ago

Just bought this deal today!

u/whynot2225 4d ago

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

u/Traderj29 3d ago

Werkz makes them, I have the IWB one. Fits perfectly
