TheSurefire X300 is undisputedly one of the best handgun lightson the market.
Being such a well-known, battle-proven light has given it several advantages.
Thats actually the topic of this article.
A new accessory/upgrade has been made for the X300, and its pretty sweet.
In my opinion, it looks fantastic.
The paddle shifter replaces the paddle to activate the light on the support hand side of the pistol.
The Paddle Shifter kit comes with everything you better plant the shifter, and its very straightforward to fit.
The kit includes a particular hex fit screwdriver bit used to remove the current paddle.
With all these included tools, you’re free to remove the default paddle easily and secure it.
you could easily use your support hand thumb to push the paddle forward, thus triggering the light.
Here are some things to consider when you order one.
It works with nearly every pistol frame.
The paddle shifter is, all in all, still a tiny footprint.
Also, the switch does still support momentary and constant on.
The nylon polymer shifter is made in the U.S.A. and is patent-pending.
I found the paddle shifter very easy to use, and I enjoyed not having to alter my grip.
The only thing that can somewhat save me from this is if a pistol has a large grip.
But typically, theres this weird moment where both fingers touch as they glide past each other.
Well, with the Emissary Development Paddle Shifter, I can say goodbye to that!
The Verdict
In practice, the paddle shifter works and works well.
Say goodbye to dipping your thumb down to trigger the light.
This is enough force to activate the lights momentary mode.
Not having to alter your grip to trigger the light is fantastic.
The Emissary Development Paddle Shifter is only $28.00.
The feel this paddle shifter gives you is a game-changer.
I recommend this easy fix to upgrade your X300.
