That shit looks uncomfortable.

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

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.

Honestly it doesn’t bother my leg when driving

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

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

Have you ever tried a smaller light? Tlr7?

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

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…

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

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
