So I have been looking for a new mounted light. I have been looking at the x300/400, the TLR-1, and the insight M3. I plan to get a matching raven holster. I have used the TLR before and the surefire, but heard good things about the insight. Any reason why you guys would pick one over the other?

I'd pick the TLR-1 - especially when you figure in the price.

I agree with the posters here, but for build quality, and knowing that you have the absolute standard where all others are judged, the Surefire X300, X400 are the ones.

i dig the contour switch that surefire offers, until the TLR has one, id go with the surefire option

I have the Insight M3X on my S&W  M&P 40 and I love it. Good bright light, easy on and off, tight focused pattern and not much more than a TLR-1.

x300 rocks. it has the best lighting and the most durable.

I think it gives the most bang for the Buck.

I've owned 2 TLR-1, TLR-1 strobe and X200. The SF is definitely a better built light. I just didn't like the momentary push on the SF. I prefer the up down momentary on the TLR-1. I have a TLR on my duty handgun and had them on my AR15. If I had the cash, I would buy the x300 with the DEV pressure pad. I don't so I've settled for the streamlight. It's still a great light for the money and outshined all the $300 SF weapon lights at a past carbine class.
