SureFire XC1C 300 Lumens Handgun Rail Mount LED Light - Black Anodized Aluminum

The SureFire XC1C is a compact handgun light purpose-built for shooters who need reliable illumination without sacrificing concealability. At 300 lumens powered by a single AAA battery, this rail-mounted LED light balances serious output with the kind of minimal footprint that won't bulk up your carry gun or duty rig. Whether you're training at the range, running low-light drills, or carrying for personal defense, the XC1C delivers the brightness you need in a form factor that actually stays mounted when it matters.

The engineering here is straightforward and tough. SureFire built the body from aerospace-grade aluminum, then Mil-Spec hard-anodized it to stand up to daily carry, weather, and actual use. The smooth parabolic reflector creates a focused hot spot for identifying threats at distance while throwing enough diffused light around the center beam to read your surroundings up close—practical illumination that works in both scenarios. You get ambidextrous controls on both sides of the body, so lefties and righties can operate it intuitively whether you're running a momentary tap or locking it to constant-on with a quick double-tap. The battery cap tethers to the body to keep it from getting lost in the field, and the tempered window protects the lens from the wear that comes with real-world carry.

The rail clamp mount fits Picatinny and Universal rails found on most modern compact handguns, and the whole package stays light enough that it won't throw off your gun's balance or print under a shirt. It's the kind of light that you'll actually keep on your pistol instead of leaving it in a drawer because it adds too much bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the XC1C fit my compact handgun?

The XC1C attaches via a rail clamp mount designed for Picatinny and Universal accessory rails. It works with most modern compact handguns that have these rail systems. Check your gun's manual or rail configuration to confirm compatibility before purchase.

What kind of battery does it use?

The XC1C runs on a single AAA NiMH rechargeable battery loaded in the front of the light. The battery is energy-dense enough to deliver 300 lumens of output.

Can I use this light for concealed carry?

Yes. The XC1C is specifically designed to be lightweight and ultra-compact for concealed carry. Its minimal size and weight won't noticeably add bulk to a compact handgun, making it practical for daily carry under a shirt or jacket.

How do the switches work?

The XC1C features ambidextrous switches on both sides of the body. Tap and release either toggle switch for constant-on activation; tap and release again to turn off. Press and hold either toggle for momentary activation—the light stays on only while you're holding the switch.
