World's First Duty-Grade Micro-Compact Rechargeable Weapon Light
The SureFire XSC (XSC-A) represents a breakthrough in concealed carry weapon lights - combining duty-grade durability and professional performance in an ultra-compact, rechargeable package specifically engineered for Glock 43X and 48 pistols with accessory rails. This micro-footprint weapon light delivers an intense 350-lumen beam shaped by SureFire's precision parabolic reflector technology for positive target identification at short to medium range distances. At just 1.94 inches long and weighing only 1.7 ounces, the XSC maintains your pistol's concealability while adding critical low-light capabilities. The proprietary quick-detach rechargeable lithium polymer battery can be swapped in seconds without removing the light from your pistol, and the included dual-bay charging cradle keeps spare batteries ready. An integrated fuel gauge on the battery eliminates guesswork about remaining charge. Mil-Spec hard-anodized aerospace aluminum construction provides scratch and corrosion resistance, while multiple gaskets ensure IPX7 waterproof protection. Ambidextrous push-button controls deliver intuitive momentary-on or constant-on activation. Plus, this premium SureFire weapon light ships FREE!
Key Features

Understanding Micro-Compact Weapon Light Technology
The SureFire XSC represents years of engineering focused on solving the unique challenges of illuminating micro-compact pistols. Traditional compact weapon lights are too large and heavy for slim single-stack and 1.5-stack pistols, destroying concealability and balance. The XSC's revolutionary design maintains the slim profile of the Glock 43X/48 while providing professional-grade illumination. The rechargeable lithium polymer battery eliminates the bulk of CR123A batteries while the quick-detach system enables rapid battery changes. This is not a compromised "micro" light - it's a full-capability duty light engineered specifically for concealed carry applications.
Compatibility
The XSC-A model is specifically designed and engineered for Glock 43X and Glock 48 pistols equipped with accessory rails (MOS models and rail-equipped versions). The precision fit ensures secure mounting without shifting during recoil or holstering. This model is NOT compatible with standard Glock 43X/48 without rails, Glock 19, or other Glock models. For SIG SAUER P365/P365 XL, select model XSC-P365. For Springfield Armory Hellcat, select model XSC-HELLCAT. For universal short-rail subcompacts (Smith & Wesson M&P, SIG P320 Compact, etc.), select model XSC-B.

Ideal For
Perfect for Glock 43X/48 owners who carry concealed and demand professional-grade illumination without compromising concealability. Excellent for off-duty law enforcement officers, federal agents with backup weapons, civilians with concealed carry permits, armed security professionals, and anyone serious about personal protection who carries a slim Glock. The rechargeable battery system makes this ideal for regular training - no more buying disposable batteries. The 30-minute runtime provides ample duration for multiple training sessions or extended use during an incident. Competition shooters will appreciate the compact size for USPSA, IDPA, and other action shooting sports. Home defenders benefit from positive target identification without excessive glare in indoor environments.
Operating Instructions
To activate momentary-on: Press either side button and hold - light remains on while button is pressed, turns off when released. For constant-on: Press and release either side button quickly - light stays on until switched off with another press. To install battery: Slide battery into rear of light until it clicks securely. Battery can only be inserted one way. To remove battery: Press battery release button and slide battery out. To charge battery: Place battery in either bay of charging cradle, ensuring proper orientation. LED indicator shows charging status (red while charging, green when complete). Charge time is approximately 1 hour from depleted to full.
Rechargeable Battery Advantages
The XSC's lithium polymer battery system provides several advantages over traditional CR123A-powered lights. The quick-detach design enables battery swaps in seconds without tools and without removing the light from your pistol. The integrated fuel gauge eliminates guesswork about remaining charge. The dual-bay charging cradle means you can always have a spare battery ready. For users who train regularly, the rechargeable system eliminates ongoing battery costs and reduces environmental waste. The 3.7V lithium polymer chemistry provides consistent voltage throughout the discharge cycle for stable output. While CR123A lights may dim as batteries drain, the XSC maintains full brightness until the battery is depleted.
Holster Compatibility
The XSC's micro-compact profile ensures compatibility with most light-bearing holsters designed for Glock 43X/48 with lights. Many major holster manufacturers including Safariland, BlackPoint Tactical, PHLster, ANR Design, Tenicor, and others offer XSC-specific holsters for both inside-the-waistband (IWB) and outside-the-waistband (OWB) carry. The low-profile design also works with some universal light-bearing holsters. Check with your holster manufacturer for specific XSC compatibility. The secure mounting and compact size ensure the light won't shift or interfere with holster retention.
Why XSC is the Only Choice for Serious Concealed Carry
SureFire didn't just shrink a full-size light - they engineered the XSC from the ground up specifically for concealed carry on micro-compact pistols. Every design decision prioritizes concealability without compromising performance. The result is a light that adds critical low-light capability while maintaining your pistol's slim profile. The rechargeable battery system provides convenience that CR123A lights can't match. The Mil-Spec construction ensures reliability that bargain lights never deliver. For anyone serious about personal protection with a Glock 43X or 48, the XSC provides capabilities you simply cannot get any other way. When your life depends on identifying a threat in darkness, there are no excuses. The XSC is your only option.
