I often carry a G19 with a TLR-3 on it

In one of my early IWB kydex holsters. I've worn it several hours straight and also took it to MI as my wolf protection gun last two years. 8-9 hours in a truck and several more strolling through the woods with no major amount of discomfort. Puts out a decent amount of light for its size. I have a TLR-1 on my AR house gun. Slightly bigger but MUCH brighter.

I normally carry a small 120 lumen light as well. If I need to look at something in the dark I use the pocket light. If I need to shoot something in the dark, I'll use the light alredy on the gun.

I agree that lights are bullet magnets, but if you are going to be attracting incoming fire, why wouldn't you want to have a light that requires no extra holding hands and just happens to be pointing where your firearm is?

I don't get how a slight amount of weight would slow down a draw and for the most part, if I'm going to investigate a noise etc, the gun is going to be in my hands anyways.
