Only 1 thing needed...move the target 4 inches to the left and lower by 4 inches. Get X ring hits all day long.

Some good points.  Particularly the training and encouraging folks to compete to help supplement defensive training.  You don't know what you don't know. 

The newer/ish Streamlight TLR7s interest me, but they aren't cheap!  I was looking into Modlites as well, but will likely stick to Surefire X300Us, mostly because my current holsters fit those.

Also on training, having friends with access with likeminded and conscientious friends help.  Always a few jackasses who seem to ruin things for others, and why we can't have nice things. . .

Am I missing something about Mod?  Since they're a brand new company, and basically they have X300 clones, shouldn't their prices be much lower. Until they build street credit and then they raise their prices. Like IMO, there's no need to buy the Mod X300 clone when it's the same price as a Surefire X300. I would just go with Surefire.

I prefer TLR1 though becuase I can get 2 of them for the price of 1 X300.

Uh, I don't know what you're missing. . . :facepalm:

You do you, bruh. . .

And you, or one, can get X300Us for better pricing.  If you know how. . .  ;D

ETA: Modlite is far from a "new company". . .

I mean 2019 vs Surefire who's been decades in the business.

I do own a X300, but it was to keep continuity with the M45 and I had a Amazon gift card from Xmas.

I have a TLR7a on my G19, and a TLR7a-sub on my Hellcat
I like them on a compact or sub/micro compact
I like it with the rear switch
Price isn't too bad, 124-145 on Amazon

Yeah. I’m getting one for my 48 MOS. I made that comment because of what the guy said on the video. The TLR-1s are “nicely” priced. Streamlight is coming out with a lot of good stuff recently, but pricing is creeping up there. Plus, I can usually get Surefire for pretty good pricing, when they are in stock.
