    I heard about the Olight but not the tlr 7. I’ll check it out thanks. Any idea what holster he is running?

    P30’s are problematic as you have to have the proper slide for milling. I’m hoping to get to shoot a P-07 this week. I ride the slide stop on 226’s also but haven’t been behind a 229 yet, maybe that’s an option.

    Have you tried swapping grips on the P226 or adding a Legion/P224 slide lock? I found the E2 grips pushed my hand lower on the grip and I didn't ride the slide lock anymore. I didn't care for them in the long run, switched to G10 and installed a Legion slide lock. No more issues.

    JMCK makes holsters for this combination. It's a PX4 FS holster, so you'll have a little more material around the muzzle.

    If this gun were for defensive use, concerns over not going to slide lock would be pretty far down the list for me. Having a gun that I can shoot to the fullest of my ability would matter more than not riding the slide lock lever or being able to press the mag release without shifting my hand around.

    That being said, when I shot Sigs, I stopped having slide lock issues once I switched my grip around to where my dominant hand thumb would rest ontop of my support hand thumb. The P224 slide lock lever has a lower profile than the standard slide lock levers and they can be bought seperately and placed on other Sigs like the 226 and 229. Sig even puts them on all the Legion guns.

    I wouldn’t think the FS holster would fit the compact because of the added slide length.

    I've already sold the holster & pistols, but it worked fine for me when I had it. Only Sigs are stupid(why does the P229 have so many different slide profiles!) in regards to compacts fitting into full size holsters.

    I found the IG post and in the comments there is mention of an adaptor needed for the tlr 7/8. Google search of Matt Frey has gotten me nowhere, any info on this adaptor?
