Laser/Light suggestions

[Bloodyhands]

I have Never mounted a light or laser to any of my railed handguns.
However my sight is getting worse and I am considering it for my nightstand weapon which is a Full-Size 1911 w/Rail in front of the trigger guard.
I'm not wanting to spend a lot on it initially because I really do not know if I will like it. I want something I can sight and rely on, to buy and try out.
I am not familiar with a solid company, or system to install and was hoping for some suggestions.
Also if I do like it I will likely want to upgrade. I could use some direction on this please.
Thank You

Streamlight I would say is one of better brands to start with.

Bring your 1911 up to my part of the state and we’ll strap one on for a test drive.

Copy That! Not too Far at all, and I do get that way some.
Been trying to find something not too pricey but reliable to buy & try.

Test driving is advisable simply because switching can be so different!

The one I linked to above has power switches on both sides. Push either one for on, push both to cycle thru the modes (mode is memorized when you pick one), push either for power off. From then on, turning it on will give you the previously memorized mode.

No chance during the test drive.

I planned on closing one eye, but I wasn't that optimistic.

If you close both eyes, zeroing the laser becomes much easier. 🤓

I second this. I've lost track of how many Streamlights I own.
