Tactical Laser/Light

[Glock22xd9]

I'm thinking about buying a new Tactical Light with a laser, but i saw crimson trace laser, and they are really nice. Any thoughts or suggestions either way?

Depends on your uses, it's next to impossible to conceal a pistol with light and laser, if your house gunning only get the light/laser combo, if your looking at multiple roles for your pistol, get a light and the crimson tace grips.

If you mean to carry concealed, I can understand it being more of a challenge. I still can't find a holster that will support a light rail accessory light/laser. That is one reason I am looking into the crimson grip laser. I can always carry the Surefire if necessary. I am trying not to have to though. If you mean cancealing yourself in no or low light, I have seen the splashing on/off switches which are great. I have multiple pistols so I could use them specific purposes if need be. However, the rail light/laser can be switched between different weapons. Crimson does not make lasers for the XD that I know of. I do carry concealed, I do like to have it for home protection, and when I get a job, I may use it there also. Tough to find one for all three, so I may split it up for different uses.

Well the option I would suggest is a costly one, get the Crimson Trace laser for the Glock and either a streamlight TLR-2 or a Insight M6. That way you can still have a laser on your carry gun and keep the XD as the house gun.

I have seen holsters that will acomodate a Glock with the M6, but it's meant for duty and would be very hard to hide.

costly as it is, it sounds reasonable. i looked at the M6 and it sounds GREAT! I have however, not found any good holsters even for duty. I carry the Glock in a blackhawk SERPA holster under a hooded sweatshirt and it works fine. What duty holster are you talking about?

I think the dutyholster for his Glock with the M6 was made by...either Uncle Mikes or Bianchi, I'll have to call him tomorrow and ask.

Let me know please.

Was looking at the grip laser by LaserMax ( http://www.lasermax.com/ ). It seemed like a great addition my snub nosed S&W airweight that I carry in my pocket. Anyone ever used one of these?

Figured I would try once more. Anyone ever used any of the laser sights on smaller caliber pistol. Was thinking about getting one for a J-frame snubbie. Any recommendations from you guys. Any pros and cons.

I tried carrying concealed witha light, didn't work.

you donlt really need a light on your carry piece since 87% of all SD shootings happen within conversation distance.

My best advice would be to get a light/laser combo and just snap it onto your gun before you go to sleep.

The TLR-2 is a nice LED/Laser combo, and the TLR series is considered the best on the market at this time.

The M6 is a good light, and by good, I mean, it launches off your gun while you're shooting.
