Came in the mail today. It is VERY small, quite light, and makes good lumens for a AAA battery. The mounting method is just OK, and the way the light operates is, well, controversial. The light has fit on everything I own so far, except the HK45C.

The switch only works one direction, pressing up. This will be a NO-GO for some. Compared to the X300 at a 12 o clock position on a rifle. Does not appear in your FOV when viewed thru a T2 in the LT660 mount.

Can you still do momentary by pushing forward?

Hopefully mine will be in today. Planning to try it on the XDm's, M&P's and a G17.

Thanks for pics and info. So pressing down is momentary or constant on? Do you press down on both sides or is one side up and one down like the TLR-1? And attachment method is just a cross bolt like the TLR-1? |

Sorry my comprehension appears to be rather lacking
 But as it is mounted on the pistol, pressing DOWN on the switch activates, correct? Also, what are your overall impressions so far? I am strongly considering buying one for the G19 I have yet to buy  |

No g19 pics There are G19 XC1 pics everywhere. Literally that's all you can find when looking for XC1 on Instagram. These are some of the only pics of it mounted on any other pistols.

Pressing down on both sided gives you momentary activation. Constant on is a button left to right on the body of they light. The momentary switches don't really turn, or rotate. They more or less rock slightly to the bottom. My impressions are good so far. It's really small. For me this is the best inside the waistband weapon mounted light option available. But if your going to carry OWB you would get better results from a TLR 1 HL for $120. But I'm never going to carry a TLR or X200/300/ IWB. It's brighter than my Veridian C5l with whatever half used batteries are in it right now. |

I'm liking it so far. The beam is nice and even and really lights a room/hallway well. The switch can be easily activated both momentary and constant with support hand thumb. Plenty bright for what I wanted. Also got one of the Haley holsters for it and the 19. Definitely a sweet setup for CCW |

Is $210 a great deal for the Surefire xc1?

I mounted one on a Walther PPQ like CFll did and my impressions are about the same. Very good light. The beam is flawless. I can live with the mounting system and the momentary switches, but the main activation switch sucks. I have not put it on my G19, but on the PPQ, if you have short fingers it is a reach and not very natural to turn on, atleast not for me. I have may Surefire products, and love em, but I think they need to redo the main activation switch. My .02.
