all good , i just had a better look on the Safariland site & it answered my question , the model 6360 ALS/SLS duty holster is the one i'm interested in for the MC operator & can be use with or without the surefire light.

Roger I absolutely love the aesthetics of the full rail TRP Operator! I had one and wish I still had it. Not only was it great looking it was a real shooter, very reliable and accurate. I’m still a 1911 guy and now dabbling in the 2011 world. Great video brother!

Thanks for your services ! Just bought this same exact trp operator. I’m excited to pick it up in a few days

Just acquired my 1st TRP Operator, I have to admit I'm in love. Huge fan of the channel, it helped with me making the decision to go with the TRP

Nice work on this video. I am a Huge 1911 fan..... Mostly Les Baers, Dan Wesson, and Wilson Combats, but we are getting into Reviewing Springfield Armory 1911s as of November 2020 with more to come in 2021. Keep up the great work on your Channel. Stay Safe. 😎🥳👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Beretta Sr.

I believe the surefire weapons light pad your looking for is called the DG specifically the DG 18 for 1911 models. Hope that helps brother.

About 15 years ago I did the same SUREFIRE setup with my LES BAER PREMIER II SUPER TAC including the front strap pressure pad. I installed a micro rail on the pistol with an adapter for the light.

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but the surefire light switch for the X200/300 you have is the SF (Special Forces “Delta”) Switch. The more common one DG (DevGru “Team 6”) Switch. I remember seeing one years ago on Hackathorn’s 1911, when asked said something to the sort. I remember trying to find one online but was unable to. Guess surefire only made a small batch and got better feedback on the DG Switch. I do remember liking the SF Switch better though, if you don’t want it I’ll take it off your hands.

The Surefire 1911 switch you are asking about is called the TG-11. I had two, sent one back to them for a broken lug and they sent me a DG switch back, because they discontinued it. If I'd had known that, I would have never sent back. DG swict collects dust. TG-11 works great on Glock/HK platforms.

Surefire had three different model grip switches for the X Series lights.

The DG-18A should fit the TRP. They have about 20 models of that switch for many different handguns.
