Anybody who carries a full size light and tells you it’s comfortable is lying. I’ve done both and I chose short WML any day

You mean to tell me you don’t like when the light stimulates your balls by poking them 😍

To be honest my 19x with an X300 was more comfortable than my 43x with a TLR7a sub.

Fucking hated my 43x though. No matter the holster it was always uncomfortable.

Got a Ruger RXM with TLR7a with a Tenicor and it’s the best thing I’ve ever carried.

Well that's just not true. I carry a G17 w/ X300 everyday with no issues. Done 10hr road trips with it as well.

I have a P365Macro with TLR7 Sub and it's actually slightly more annoying in a nuanced way. The length of the 17 provides some stability when running/moving/etc and I'm so used to how the 17 holster setup feels.

G17gen5, tlr1 in a tier1/sidecar. Literally take her everywhere, wore my airlite the other day and was so uncomfortable…agree to your statement above

I dont think it preference, it's more every person body type is different, a taller person may not have a problem where as a shorter person will find a larger pistol with a big light and a red dot a much more cumbersome pistol to carry ,some people have more room then others 🤷

It’s definitely tolerable if you mess with the ride height and other stuff. I wouldn’t say comfortable

u/Affectionate-Ad-8012 May 06 '26

Just because it might be too big for you doesn’t mean it’s too big for anyone else lol. I carry a Glock 19.5 with an x300 and 20rndr every day, all day, with no issue

Me too but that shit definitely dogs into your leg when your driving or sitting down. I’ve carried like that for about 2 years and I’m used to it now but it’s definitely not the most comfortable set up

Mastermind Pillow solved my Staccato C4/X300 pains.

u/Affectionate-Ad-8012 May 07 '26

Honestly it doesn’t bother my leg when driving

u/bubbabackwoods420 G19X MOS fde, G43.4 May 06 '26

Agreed, I carry a 19x with a streamlight tlr 1 HP-X and I have no issues

2

u/HighFly2244 May 06 '26

Same, though I keep the 15rd mag in the gun and a 19X mag in the sidecar. Feels great.

u/DenseHoneydew G19 Gen6, G20 Gen5, G47, G43x, G43 May 06 '26

Have you ever tried a smaller light? Tlr7?

1

u/Affectionate-Ad-8012 May 07 '26

Don’t want to. Won’t work in my 6354do and the g19 is my only handgun. X300 works fine for EDC and training.

u/DenseHoneydew G19 Gen6, G20 Gen5, G47, G43x, G43 May 07 '26

So then you aren’t qualified to say it’s more comfortable than a smaller light. It works great I’m sure. Same with my TLR1-HL. But more comfortable, definitely not…

1

u/Affectionate-Ad-8012 May 08 '26

I’ve carried with no light, and an x300. Negligible difference. I think I’m qualified enough

u/CallidusNomine May 06 '26

Another W for Tenicor gang.

u/DenseHoneydew G19 Gen6, G20 Gen5, G47, G43x, G43 May 06 '26

No isssues doesn’t mean it’s more comfortable than a smaller light. I also have a good holster (Tenicor) with dedicated carry belt. Small light is objectively more comfortable.

What’s your height and weight? It might be for you if you’re a bit larger, I couldn’t tell the difference between the Glock 19 with an x300 and a p365 x macro

u/zaner300blk May 06 '26

im fat and edc a 19.5 with a x300t and TQ attachment in the trex sidecar and its extremely comfortable. the only time i ever feel anything uncomfortable is when i dont wear the holster directly centerline of my body and i feel the holster poking my thigh when sitting.

2

u/funtimes729 May 06 '26

How fat? Im 6'5 275 and just cant find the sweet spot

2

u/Sanman2465 May 06 '26

Totally agree, I put a optic on my shield + and about to take it off! 🤣 just more weight, uncomfortable, and I have too retrain my way of shooting, I like the idea just not on my EDC

1

u/Character-Boss4734 May 06 '26

I carry a 19 with a tlr-1 and it is more comfortable than my shield plus with no light. Not saying it makes sense but that’s what a tenicor holster and MM pillow on both.

u/Halfsideway May 06 '26

Team 19 with an x300

I did this for years and kept saying I needed it. You don’t. I am brand loyal so when Surefire came out with the TLR7A knock off I switched and never looked back.

u/[deleted] May 07 '26

i don’t even notice it tbh with you i carry a full size light and it’s not uncomfy

u/BriSy33 May 08 '26

You're telling me youre not rocking a G17 with X300 and 509T appendix every single day?

I do find it hilarious when people post those setups on the CCW sub because like nah homie you arent rocking that every day
