Gun mounted light/laser for the XD

[XD-9Guy]

I am shopping for a weapon light for an XD9 and I came to the conclusion that I may as way put a laser on it too, it's a house gun not a carry gun so I don't mind adding equipment that will keep me from holstering it. After quite a bit of shopping I've found that I keep coming back to the Streamlight TLR-2, but it is pretty pricey and I'd hate to have buyer's remorse on this kind of a deal.

So I'm curious to know if anyone on the boards is using one, if so would you mind sharing your opinion?

Also, would anyone care to make a recommendation of a better set-up? Should I be looking at lights and lasers separately?

Finally, if anyone has a TLR-2 for sale or knows where I can pick one up for less than $240+ that Midway sells it for please let me know.

I put a Viridian green laser with the light on mine. I really like it for home use, especially with the laser and strobe light activated. Its very disorienting if its aimed at you, but provides great illumination in a dark home when carrying it.

I have both the TRL2 and the Viridian. Both are good but I prefer the Viridian. The main issue will be non-bulky holsters for CCW. Hard to find.

I work tomorrow, let me see what I can do on the price for you. I am a full Streamlight dealer. I'll PM when I get the price for you.

2 votes for Viridian huh? I'll check that one out again.

Thanks, that would be great - I always prefer to deal with fellow OSAers when I can.

I have a sig sauer light laser combo on my XDM 9mm. Laser / light combo has been on the gun for 3K plus rounds with not one issue.

Hmm... I haven't shopped Sig Sauer at all, didn't even realize they were in the accessory business.

its a 130 lumens light with strobe mode and built in red laser. Bought mine the day I bought my XDM (the day they came out) and has been on the gun for well over 3K rounds with no hiccups.

How much do they run?

Should this be moved to the pistols sub-forum?
