| What is a good weapon light for my 229R DAK? I see surefire has a couple of nice ones but does anyone know of any others? Any experience with the surefire ones? |

I have a Sreamlight M3 for my P226R. I like the controls and the ergonomics. So far, I haven't had any problems with it. I haven't put it on my P229R's, but I would think the lamp would stick out pretty far. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/TannerBoyl/Pistols/P226R.jpg |

Surefire's X200 are the proverbial cat's ass. Now if they could hurry up with the DG switches for the thing.... Look out for NightOps/Insight's new pistol light, coming soon...... I am NOT impressed with Insight's M3 offerings, but the M3X seems to be a good compromise.  Sticks out a bit. They need to come up with a TRD device that fits in a holster.

Hmm. My 200a works just fine on my aboce 229 and my 220R. I assume you have the switch cap on correctly/all the way? Is the DG switch "longer" than the standard. I had one for a 226 mounted on my 220 (had send it back, switch did not go all the way to the grip area  ) and I remember having a little trouble getting the light to fully seat all the way back on the rail. Had to use a considerable amount of the force to get it on the pistol.....
