Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA. Personal preference. Dual battery types CR123 or AA!
I dig the beam, size, light weight, clip ride (height), button access, programable, scalloped bezel all at a decent price point.
To get all of those things, try Malkoff.
Came across another option for you. Inforce TFX is apparently made in the USA. Its “only” 700 lumens, there are a few reviews on youtube, uses 2x 123A batteries.
Thanks @Harvey !
Update: I got Surefire EDCL2-T. It is a long-ish EDC (EDCL1 model is more compact), but I went for 1200 lumens :). The price was almost 2x the competition, yet from all I read it has the most % of American parts and labor, so that justified it.
I use a 500 lumen light on my home defense pistol & a 1500 lumen on my shotgun. I don’t have lights on my carry guns. I do have tritium on everything except my revolvers. I, of course, carry a 500 lumen multi function flashlight. I just ordered a new light for my latest 9mm. it is usb rechargable, I like that. The light I carry is the same way
