It seems that all the surefire lights or nearly so, use a tail-cap button.

I want a light with a button towards the lamp and on the side, not the rear. I get better support with my sidearm this way.

Who makes good ones?

Also, I prefer LED. I know incandescent are generally brighter, but LEDs won't blow bulbs or drain the battery as quickly.

Thanks.

What size? Like E1 size or 6P size or would something like a Streamlight Stinger work for you?

Incan's are not generally brighter. Streamlight is the only brand that I know of that doesn't have a tail cap button.

I want it to be about 5-6", and to turn on when you press the button part way but not enough to lock it.

No, not ultrastinger size.. way too big, have one already. :)
