| Do many of you guys carry your Glocks with some sort of light? I have a TLR-1 with no home at the moment and was thinking about putting it on my new 19. What kind of holster options and varieties are there that you guys like/use? |

Although I am a LEO, this was geared towards off duty. I figured there would be more options without the light, but I was just curious to see if many of you guys chose to carry off duty/CHL with the light or not and how you did it. I think it has a lot to do with body type. I think I'm too thin to pull it off and not print too badly. I would love to though. I don't go out at night/dark anyways and when I do I just carry a light. I'm afraid of the boogy man.

Yes Tim we definitely want a review when you get it!
clharr honestly I was thinking along the lines of your comment, I really don't go out much at night either, but you never know when you may need a light. On the other hand I could carry a small light like you said you do. Hell, I dunno, lifes hard decisions

I'm just a regular CHL guy, but I'll be using a TLR-1 with my G19 once my Raven concealment comes in If you are just a "regular CHL guy" I would say don't carry a gun with a light. I would recomend carring a light seperatly. You will need a light alone more often than a gun, having your light on your gun will limit things you can do with the light (with out pointing a gun at things). Or obviously carry a gun w/light AND a seperate light.... However I find I have enough crap on me with out yet another flashlight. |

I have been carrying my Glock 19 with a light attached everyday for about two years now in a Raven setup. I wear it OWB in the fall and winter and just recently switched back to IWB for the warmer months.
I am not a big guy (5'8 and about 185) and have no problems concealing it under my normal "uniform" of an untucked polo or button up shirt. |

This is what will happen, I already carry an E2DL as for if it will be IWB/OWB I'm unsure as of yet, probably IWB |

I have a TRL-1 on a G19 in a RCS Phantom. I also have a Bladetech. I've only been carrying it for a couple weeks. Wanted to try a light mounted, still carry a handheld light. I spend a lot of time outside in the dark. If after 6 months I don't like it I'll change it up.
