I have the Glock light.  It is ok but it eats batteries with the xenon bulb.  I would suggest getting an LED TLR-1, Surefire XC1 (super small kind of pricey) or the standard surefire (still pricey).

Thank you for the replies.

Size and brightness would be the biggest factors. Price being third.

With that said, I certainly dont want to waste money on a few more lumens that dont really have an impact on overall usefulness.

I have a TLR1s on my G17.4

It's the 300 lumen version... it's brighter than it needs to be on a pistola.
I like it for the price
The fully loaded Glock 17 with TLR1 installed is still lighter than an unloaded 1911A1
It sticks out past the muzzle FWIW

Since I'm guessing you won't be carrying it, I'd get the X300U.  It's phenomenal.  The only reason it doesn't live on my G19 is because it's too big to carry, so it's mated to my rifle.  What do I have now?  The XC1.

I like the TLR1. Good light for the price. Photo of my G4 OD Green 17 with the TLR 1 on it.  X300U is nice as well, but for us more budget minded folks, its a little hard to swallow.

I like the Surefire X300. Nothing wrong with the Streamlight, but i'm not a fan of how it mounts with the screw .
