With the TLR-1, you can hold the gun with a solid two handed firing grip and hold the switch in the momentary on position with your support hand thumb even through recoil. As soon as you break your firing grip to move, reload, or clear a malfunction, the light goes off. Obviously, this only works for right handed shooters. I can do the same thing with the x300, except I have to consciously break my firing grip to turn the light off for any movement or weapon manipulation. With this new design (similar to apl), you’d also likely lose the momentary under recoil, so you’re better off tapping the light into constant on and back off again as needed.
