What the shit is this? Compact weapon lights have baby lumens?

>>32826468
They're for pistols with short rails like the PX4 Compact.

I wouldn't bother with them and just get a handheld light in the 300-1,000 lumen range. If I'm going to have added bulk on my carry gun, it's going to be something worthwhile like a TLR 2 HL or X300U.

What handgun is it?

FNS-9c
I guess I'm going with the TLR-2 HL. I'm pretty sold on upgrading to a weapon mounted light. Aaron makes compelling arguments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5Ii29Q89Sg

Also, why the fuck is the Inforce such low lumen so such a big light? Am I missing something?

The light itself is fine. Not a fan of lasers so I never use it that feature. Would rather have the TLR-1 to save bulk. (This one was a gift. Mom&Dad's heart was in the right place).

What the fuck?

A TLR6 is more compact and only has 25 lumens less.

>I guess I'm going with the TLR-2 HL.

That would be my first pick for a TLR but it's not compatible with the shorter FNS9C rail light. A TLR-2/1 can only fit on a full size rail you would typically see on fullsize/compacts like this anon's gun >>32826639 while inversely, a light that he has would fit on the FNS9C but I wouldn't recommend them due to the fact that they're less durable than their fullsize counterparts.

Now that I mentioned more lumens=good, some informative resources that dive more into this. One of the videos is actually made by Aaron Cowan on the same channel.

Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Well it seems I'm in a pickle.....
Given holster, light and weapon limitations, it looks like I can choose from a TLR4, Inforce APL, or surefire XC1.

The XC1 and APL both have 200 lumens, the APL is longer but about 1/2 to 1/3 the price.......

Samefag OP again.
So given my option limitations, it looks like the Inforce is the best option. Anyone aware of alternative quality weapon lights of higher lumen that fit the form factor of some of the more popular lights?

Whelp I went with the Inforce APL - now you guys can tell me how bad I fucked up.
