    My nightstand gun forever has been a Glock 17 with a red dot, standard mag, and a light.

    However now that I’m mainly carrying and practicing with a 365xl instead of a Glock I’m finding I’m having problems sometimes throwing the first shot or two due to the difference in grip angle whenever I switch from whatever I practiced last, to the alternate. So I put the Glock back in the main safe, and am now just switching to the 17 round macro mag on my xl, and for now am going without a light.

    I actually got a jmck light bearing aiwb holster to try out having a light all the time and it’s not bad; but inertia, the desire to keep things simple, and a tiny bit more comfort have kept me without the light so far.

    Glock 19 with a tlr7a and 509t. This is my carry gun if I don't need a smaller footprint (g26). Bcm 16 inch is near by in a quick access safe

    A shotgun.

    A 9mm vs. multiple bad guys = you’re dead.

    PS Weapon-mounted lights are a terrible idea, they give away your position and they also force you to point your gun at whatever you want illuminated. Could be your son or daughter.

    So you don't want a way to pid a threat? A handheld light could "give away" your position as well. That's not a very good argument

    Has your Kimber been pretty reliable? What kind of round count do you have on it?

    There is something I like about the TLE guns, but I keep thinking "Kimber, don't do it". Would love to be wrong.
