    GRP II Recon Rail Light/Laser Advice

    Hi, I am new to 1911s and just purchased a GRP II Recon. I purchased this pistol primarily for concealed carry (without light/laser); however, I travel a lot and would like to mount a light/laser while it resides on the nightstand. My guess is the Surefire lights must work fairly well, as Nighthawk includes them with the GRP Recon pistols. My concern is since I have a commander length slide, the light will hang out past the muzzle. Does anyone have experience with other light/laser combinations on a Nighthawk or other 1911? How about experience with a Viridian C5L? Any info. and or photos would be must appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I use a Streamlight TLR-2 laser/light combo with my 5" GRP Recon. The Streamlight TLR-2 length is 3.39" versus 3.65" for the Surefire 300X.

    Surefire may well be best-in-class but Streamlight is a close second.
