Thoughts on my limited experiance w/Weapons lights:

Leave the light at home or carry it separately... Unless you do dynamic entries for a living...the more night courses I attend, the more I prefer a separate light. I do have a Surefire on one XD .45 that is close at hand, but I would never carry it. It really slows down and interferes with the draw and presentation of the gun. CTs excellent compact Lightguard is great for it's compactness, but understand that as soon as you acquire a proper firing grip on the gun, you are self illuminating...maybe not always the best thing, in a fight. A quality handheld light or three, is essential gear, but no gun mounted light for me.
