As soon as I get back from the desert I intend to buy the XD45 compact as my carry. I'm a big fan of weapon mounted lights, but I want one that wont extend too far beyond the barrel.

If anyone knows of a good light that doesn't stick out too far, I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks

I've got a TLR-3 on my XD45 Compact...fits nearly flush with the muzzle.

Outstanding. Thank you. I have six months to go before I'm home. I figure I can order my raven concealment holster now and it will be ready by the time I get back

Off topic a bit...but where are you in Kuwait?

Arifjan?

Buehring?

Virginia?

I spent a year there as a civilian and had a great experience...got to see most of the country...

Nope, I'm living it up on the Air Force side at Salem. Looking forward to leaving too. But I did take advantage of my time away to order my Raven concealment holster when I got here. 6 months should be enough time, even for Raven!

Ali al-Salem...home of the bombed/effed-up hangers that are still being used...and has an old Sukhoi Fitter parked outside the front gate.

Used to drive by there pretty much every day on the way out to Camp Virginia.

TLR-3 its a great BRIGHT light for the money...i have on my XDm9 full size



i removed the locking lug (that catches in the diagonal grove) so i can quickly remove the light if i need to..thier are just so many more reasons to have this option then not. sure this and a few others are fairly easy to remove but not as your on target...only down side is if your holster carrying..which i dont...my set up is for the 'nitestand'...just something to chew on.



Thank you for your service!!





should note i use a nickle to tighten down the light so its very locked on....but even so all it takes is a good push pull of the pistol to slide right off.

I've got a TLR-3 on my XD .40 sub-compact along with a Raven holster that fits the light...absolutely love both the light and the holster
