I'm shopping for a flashlight to attach to a G19 that doesn't stick out way past the end of the barrel. Any suggestions?

I'd recommend the Inforce APL.
@ 200 lumens and with a very broad spill, the APL is good for engagements of up to 40-50m, but no further. It is my choice for indoor use & CCW. Google "G19 Inforce APL" for images.

I'd also take a look at the Streamlight TLR-3

Thank you for the info raw power.

Anyone have any experiance with the Crimson Trace Light Guard? I like how compact it is but I am not sure about the light pattern it emits

100 lumens is not a lot.

Just out of curiosity, why can't it extend past the muzzle?

I don't think there are many high quality lights that wont stick out past the barrel, so I recommend Streamlight Tlr-1s 300 lumen model.

Had one and hated it cause the light would never stay one while shooting.

I'd love to see more info on the CT Lightguard. I checked youtube for videos that compared it to other common lights, but frankly the comparisons I watched were shitty and useless.

Its not that it doesn't have to not stick out past the barrel I just dont want a light that sticks out a bunch in front of the barrel, a little bit is doable. I want to be able to carry the pistol with light attached and personal preferance is no giant maglight strapped to bottom of barrel.

From what I have seen so far I'm down to the CT Light guard or the APL

Believe me the Lightguard sucks, but you can try it.

 



I would get the Inforce APL.

I'd seriously contemplate the TLR-1S.  300 lumens for under $100.

I have two and love them.

This is what I use. The holster is my design under Gunslinger Tactical Gear. I used to use a TLR-1 and the X-300. I like this much better.

I like my LTG-736, plenty of light for me.  Added some Pearce Grip GLOCK Magazine Extensions PG-GPs to make the grip more comfortable.
