Anyone CC with a laser&lite combo on the rail?

[sharontony]

I think this would be the ideal way to carry if you're often in low-light areas, but I'm not sure if it would be too bulky, even though laser&lite combos have gotten smaller. I'd like the Insight X2 for my G19. If you do CC with a laser&lite combo, how bulky is it? what holsters are out there?

Personally, I have a 9 LED flashlight on my belt for low light. Light in support hand, pistol in strong hand supported by support hand wrist.

it will probably get caught on your holster, or not fit it at all. plus i doubt you will have time to turn it on if you ever need to draw anyway. most self-defense shootings are very close proximity, a laser wont help you there

Holsters exist for this, though most of them are thigh rigs.

Check raven holsters, I know they make a holster for most popular gun/light combo's. I'm sure they have the G19 covered.

FWIW, the last thing you need to do in 99% of self defense encounters is manipulate a finger operated light/laser before shooting. IMO.

I carry an xd9 with m6 light laser combo. Had a belt holster custom made for it and it does not stand out anymore than without the laser combo.

Do you have any photos of your set-up? Do you have any hang-ups while drawing from concealment? In regards to the other posters, I, too, currently carry a Surefire lite on my weakhand side in a Fobus paddle holster that also carries a spare mag. Light-on-gun would be faster to get on target from concealed carry, though, as opposed to drawing a gun and light separately. there is also the laser factor to take into account, both for accuracy and intimidation. Finally, as for most shooting happening too quickly to use a light and/or laser, that may be true, but there are also many times where a light and/or laser would come in very handy. Just read the monthly Armed Citizen article in the NRA mags and you will see many instances where laser/light would have been useable and handy.

I have Laser grips on my carry gun. Fits all the normal holsters.

Thanks. I've tried those, but was more interested in the combination laser/light combos.
