So I am what many would call a "GearQueer". My mother always called it "retail therapy". But I've been doing some unsuccessful shopping to find the PERFECT EDC rig for me. The closest I have found is the T-Rex Arms Sidecar. Unfortunately, T-Rex doesn't make a lighted rig for my XD and they are pretty spendy. I REALLY like n82 tactical's new revenant line, but once again, No supported lights. I have been carrying a weapon mounted light ever since I started carrying a firearm concealed and appreciate the fact that I have a light if there were ever a need to use my weapon in a poorly lit environment. My XDsc sports a TLR3. My Glock43 hosts a TLR6 and my Glock19 currently hosts an APLcompact. During my web browsing, I have come across the Thyrm Switchback rings for Streamlights. These seem to allow you to continue to run a traditional 2 hand grip on your weapon and manipulate the light similar to the rocker switches on the Streamlight TRL1-3 by pressing down on the top of the ring with your support thumb. The downside is the supported lights are $100-200 and that's a hard pill to swallow not knowing if its something I will actually use.
So I want some feedback from the group, what kind of light do you carry, and why did you go that route. Have you trained with it in a low-light environment? Have you discovered a reason to NOT go a certain way?
