A friend and myself went to the range today. I took my m3 light after buying the thing two years  ago. I finally found time to take it.  I was shooting and the m3 light fell off. I carry a Glock 21 .45 cal. As  anyone else had this problem?

Yes, I moved it back and foward several times. It also doesn't click on a Glock 21 the frame is to big so, you don't hear a click.

that may be the problem if it doesnt click the heavy recoil from the 45 may send it off.

There shouldn't be a problem with any glock frame. Maybe there is a problem with the locking bar of your light?  If definately won't work if the bar isn't clicking into the slot on your frame.

I use mine on a Glock 21C.  I've fired many hundreds of rounds with no fall off.

Guy I know used to be on the La. State Police -- they were all very excited when they got the first shipment of M3's for the Teams -- cops all down the line at the range -- BANG -- tink, tink, tink, tink..... all of the lights came off on the first shot and fell on the floor.  LOL

I understand they were sent back and replaced, and no problems with the replacements.  Go figure.

A couple of guys in my dept had the same problem with the light on M23's. Contact Streamlight and they will send you a new cross latch and a stronger sping....cures the problem.

My dept issued m3 for our glock 21c and have had no such problems. Mine clicks on and locks fine.
