Just got a Surefire X300 weapon mounted light. I wanted it for when things go bump in the night. I never liked to hold a flashlight in one hand and the pistol in the other. This way I get a very bright 170 Lumen light, and still have a two handed grip on the weapon.

  Super...............That is a  very good light, beware the light does not get dimmer as the batteries get low/ the light will be VERY bright right up till the end, then when the batteries reach a certain level the light will just suddenly go dark.......It can make you think the bulb has burned-out.  (good idea to keep extra set of  batteries handy)............Don S in SC

LED technology just keeps getting better. I can stand at the back door and light up the whole back yard and see down to the creek, which is about 50 yards from the back door. It's also a true white light, not bluish like a lot of other LED's.

It also has a 2.5 hour tactical run time, so the circuitry is more efficient on it than the X200 that the X300 replaced. The only thing about it that is kind of a bummer is the Lithium 123 batteries. They are expensive, but at least Walmart carries them.

J.,

Cool set up.  I have a SureFire light I use for hunting, fishing and camping.  I won it at work.  It is the 2 battery job and it lights up like a spot light.

Cool looking set up.

exactly what I was thinking! 
Those batteries ARE expensive but at least you can get them fairly easily.

J,
Neat pistol!
A little too big for me to put in my pocket while I fish though. I never go fishing without my Ruger LCP 380. It's super light and fits in a Blackhawk  pocket holster.
The light is neat, but my eyes will have to adjust to the dark because a light takes up space in my pocket.
I'm a UL fly guy, and so I've become a UL gun guy?
I have a "concealed carry" permit so I take this tiny gun legally everywhere I go anymore!...... even to Church!!

I buy Surefire 123A batteries for $1.75 each locally. Lighthound carries several brands for under $2.00 each.
