Subcompact light for subcompact carry! - Streamlight TLR-6 LED Weapon Lights, Combo Pack

Did some research/looking online and I finally came to the conclusion of getting the Streamlight TLR6 for my wife's Shield. I was pretty happy that it could be mounted on my G26 also with the correct housing, but when I mounted it, my dominant index finger was just a little bit too short to reach the ambidextrous switch, no biggie. My non-firing hand could activate the light/laser combo while my other finger would be resting on the frame. I also carry a flashlight along with the pistols.

After switching out the housing to the provided other template for the Shield, I practiced several times the activation of the light/laser and it was pretty natural. After playing around if I wanted the light, or laser, or both, decided on both because possibility of my wife using it at night were more likely.

Installation itself was relativity easy with the provided allen wrenches. Just took a few minuets, being distracted with a newborn at the time...

The light itself isn't overwhelmingly bright (unlike other lights are), which is not a bad thing. Most likely the pistol would be drawn inside the house or in a dark area. Target identification is doable with the 100 lumens, the target will get illuminated within about 25 meters easily (after I went outside later that night and pointed it out in the backyard). The reason why I left the light to be activated with the combo of light and laser is that when drawn, the shooter can easily identified the threat, get started with the escalation of force. Shout, show, shove, shoot. I would think most people would think about who their trying to mug/attack if a firearm is drawn on them, and light/laser is blinding them too.

Overall great light for the price and application of subcompact concealed carry. Depending on holsters, I might get another TLR6 for my G26 and practice the activation with my non firing hand....
