For what it is, it seems like a good little light for my Shield.
I know it's low output compared to some of the other pistol lights out there. But for a CCW gun, I think it's enough. Mr. Guns and Gear seems to like it from his review. But how do they do with everyday carry? Anyone got one of these on their carry gun? How are they holding up? How's the battery life? Where did you get a holster for it? Does running drills, drawing and holstering repeatedly, loosen them up? |

I have one on my glock 43 and use a gcode incog holster, it's well built, and for the size puts out a good amount of light. Keep in mind it's intended use. On the side note the gcode holster is awesome, highly recommend it, though the wait times suck.. I carry the 43 appendix and bought the mag caddy with it and use TTI +2 plates, total of 16+1  and it's very easy to conceal |
| I've had mine a couple months now and I still like it. Nothing has loosened up and it's still sighted in after a couple months of EDC. Still on the original batteries so not sure how long they last yet. I've only made two range trips with it so far. Still recommend it. |

I'm wanting one for my g-43. alien gear already promised to do a direct swap for my old holster shell, for a stream light compatible shell.  Nevermind had to look it up Now you see the value of this light. I was excited to see a reputable manufacturer make a light option foe these sub-compacts. I would like to hear from guys who have them and use them. |

I was at a Panonne CCW class a couple of years back. I was shooting my G19 in the regular Raven holster. The class was in October so I was wearing a jacket over my cover garment. Panonne said all of those layers were killing my draw time, so he let me use his Incog for the remainder of the day. From that point on, it was AIWB. I never looked back. The Incog didn't conceal well for me, but I found some manufacturers that made AIWB that work well for me. |

What holster are you using? |

I have one on my cw9. Some of the plastic broke.under a screw and it wont hold zero. Thats fine I just wanted the light anyways.
The dara holster I got for it is ok. It needs a wing or claw to be better. I hardly carry it since my g19 in a rcs vanguard 2 conceals so well |

Quoted: Where are you guys finding compatible holsters? I saw Dara and Incog. Any other options? I use it mainly on my Glock 42, have also put it on my 43. For some reason I like it better on the 42. No issues yet, I've had it for quite a while now. Still on original batteries. I did get one for my Glock 26, but sold it off pretty quickly. Just didn't like how bulky it made the 26. |

I jut installed one on a Shield but haven't had a chance to shoot it.
Fits fine but if uses some (3) tiny Allen heads to secure it...and tiny = easily stripped; I plan to Lock-tite mine. It runs on two one-third Ns so I don't suspect the battery life is going to be anything to brag about. |

I carry one on my Shield. I use an IBX Tactical OWB holster for it. Nate doesn't have the TLR-6, so I sent him mine to get the holster done, since he does such a great job with kydex.
I also have a Priority 1 holster with concealment wing I use for AIWB carry with it. Plenty of light for a CCW gun, and I have not bothered sighting in the laser yet, because it is more of a nice extra feature, I really just like having a light on the gun. |

I bought one for my g42. I haven't shot it with the laser yet, but I bought it for the light, and the light if plenty bright for something that small. At least on the G42, it is extremely low profile. It adds zero thickness to the gun. It mounts rock solid. Seems like a good, intuitive product. |

I like mine. I don't carry it on a regular basis, but it is a nice, small package with a good amount of light. What distance did you zero your laser at? I don't. The only thing I would use the laser for is to torment my cat. I strictly use it for the light. |
