Just ordered a TLR-7 Sub for one of my XL's. Who's using these? I've read some complaints about them not staying put due to the rail not having a cross slot. Anyone have any issues?

Apparently there’s a claw revision that helps stability. I had an older one and a newer one. Customer service sent out a new claw assembly for free and now it’s pretty rock stable.
Some people had O-rings that let the bezel loosen a little, there also a replacement ring (or you can use a little blue loctite or E6000).
I would prefer a rail slot attachment, but my updated TLR7subs have been fine.
I've got a little play in the fcu / WC module fitment
in one of my XL's, it's minimal and doesn't adversely
effect anything, I'd expect it may get worse over time
and it really just piss's me off.
Any idea if a little smear of E6000 at the front edge
of the fcu to fill the gap would solve the issue without
hindering disassembly or some debris getting into the
mechanism with use.
Thoughts are appreciated.
Same, I only notice it in dry fire though. Shooting; I never feel it. The worst one I had was my P365XL, the best one was the P365. The P356X+WC module is pretty tight.
Early on in the P365XL ownership, it bugged me enough to place two very small pieces of black gorrilla tape as shims in the grip module. This tightened up the FCU to grip module fit considerably. After a hundred rounds or so, though, my OCD kicked in and I decided I didn't really need duct tape swimming around inside the FCU, so I removed it. Fortunately both pieces were where I put them.
At the end of the day it's a cheap plastic grip module with a fiendishly complex steel fcu; you are going to get stacking tolerances for these parts. It is just part of what you get for the benefit of the Sig design relative to the price point they are at.
LOL...
I'm certainly slipping, EVERYBODY knows you're the E6000 certified spokesman!
Thanks, I appreciate the input, I'd thought of, but discounted silicone thinking it
would be too soft to hold up to the movement and remnants would wind up in the
fcu, then wondered about the durability of the E6000 in that application.
I think as a shock buffer it (silicone) would work well.
Lots of silicone O-rings and such.
It wouldn’t see a lot of shear, just compression so I don’t think pieces would get out.
If you really wanted to be fancy about it, you could take polymer shavings and build up the area with a heat iron…
