Surefire XSC Pistol Light for Small Guns

Surefire is an obvious choice when it comes to pistol lights however in the world of compact guns, lights have been lacking. At SHOT Show 2023, Surefire gave us their latest pistol light that was designed around the Glock 43X and 48, the Springfield Hellcat, and the Sig P365. The best part of it all though? The Surefire XSC has a rechargeable battery pack that allows you to charge the light without removing it from the weapon.

Designed around the Sig 365, Springfield Hellcat, and Glock 43x and 48, finally a pistol light that fits your subcompact guns. Holsters are on the market and ready to be purchased for this light.
