Compact light doesn't fit on sub-compact gun - SureFire XC1 Ultra-Compact LED Handgun Light

I like the light and I really like Optics Planet but this light just doesn't fit on my XDs or my XD Subcompact Mod.2. The light is too long between the controls and the mounting bracket to fit on a gun with less than about 4" barrel. On the XDs .45 and XD Subcompact Mod.2 .45, both with 3.3" barrels, the light makes contact with the trigger guard long before the non-adjustable mounting lug ever makes contact with the rail.

I like the momentary-on controls. They're easy to use. The constant-on cross-bar is difficult to use and appears to be included solely to advertise constant-on functionality. Current trend is momentary-on and used this way the light is awesome.

I would recommend this light for use on a full-size gun. I have full-size guns but they all have lights (either TLR-1s or Ultra-300) and holsters and I just don't want to purchase more stuff.
