A top tier pistol light

The SureFire X300 Turbo is the latest evolution in SureFire’s Turbo Series, offering an exceptionally focused beam with unmatched intensity for tactical use. Whether you’re in law enforcement, the military, or a civilian looking for a reliable weapon-mounted light, the X300 Turbo is designed to excel in every scenario. Delivering a peak output of 66,000 candela and 650 lumens, this light is perfect for those who need superior performance in low-light or long-distance conditions.

Our team at Guerrilla Tactical is going to dive deep into the key features of the SureFire X300 Turbo, why it’s a top-tier choice, and how pairing it with a high-quality holster can enhance your overall carry experience.

Breaking Down the SureFire x300 Turbo

Beam Performance: Long-Distance Precision

One of the defining features of the SureFire X300 Turbo is its beam performance. With a focused 66,000 candela beam, the Turbo delivers light at distances up to 514 meters. This tightly focused beam makes it ideal for long-range target identification, allowing users to pick out threats or objects from far away. Unlike floodlights that illuminate a wide area, the X300 Turbo excels at providing a sharp, concentrated beam, minimizing peripheral spill and ensuring precision.

Although the 650 lumens output might seem lower compared to some other lights, the X300 Turbo’s strength lies in its balance between light intensity and throw distance. This is crucial for tactical operations or defensive scenarios where identifying a threat clearly is more important than lighting up an entire area. The concentrated beam helps minimize light wash, improving visibility on distant targets.

Mounting Options: Quick and Secure

The SureFire X300 Turbo comes in two models, each offering unique mounting systems to suit different needs:

• X300T-A: This model features a quick-detach mounting system, which allows for fast attachment and removal from Universal and Picatinny rails. Ideal for users who need to switch lights between multiple firearms or detach the light quickly in certain scenarios, the X300T-A offers a robust, tool-free solution.
• X300T-B: This version uses a T-slot thumbscrew clamp, providing a secure and stable attachment to your firearm’s accessory rail. This option is ideal for those looking for a semi-permanent solution, ensuring the light stays firmly mounted during heavy recoil or intense usage.

Both versions are designed to fit Universal and Picatinny rails, making them compatible with a wide range of firearms, from handguns to rifles. This flexibility ensures that no matter what platform you’re running, the X300 Turbo can be quickly and securely attached.

Switching System: Ambidextrous and Intuitive

The SureFire X300 Turbo features an ambidextrous push/toggle switch, allowing for easy activation without requiring users to alter their grip. The switching system provides both momentary-on and constant-on functions, offering flexibility based on the user’s needs. Whether you’re using it for quick target identification or sustained illumination during a search, the intuitive design ensures that you can access the light quickly and efficiently.

For those who mount the X300 Turbo on long guns, SureFire offers optional tape switches for remote activation, making it equally effective on rifles or shotguns. This level of adaptability makes the X300 Turbo suitable for both handgun and long gun applications, offering consistent performance across different platforms.

Battery Life and Durability: Engineered for Tough Conditions

The X300 Turbo is powered by two 123A lithium batteries, which provide a runtime of 1.5 hours at maximum output. Given the high intensity of the light, this runtime is quite impressive, especially for tactical operations or home defense scenarios where short bursts of light are often more than sufficient. The included SureFire 123A batteries are reliable and have a long shelf life, ensuring you’re always ready when you need them.

Built with aerospace-grade aluminum and a hard-anodized finish, the X300 Turbo is designed to withstand harsh conditions, whether it’s recoil from high-caliber firearms or extreme environmental factors. The light is water-resistant, making it capable of functioning in rainy or humid conditions without issue.

Holster Compatibility: Seamless Integration with Existing Gear

One of the standout features of the SureFire X300 Turbo is its compatibility with existing X300U-A and X300U-B holsters. If you’re upgrading from a previous X300 model, you won’t need to replace your holster, making the transition to the X300 Turbo seamless and cost-effective. This is a huge advantage for users who have already invested in a quality holster setup and don’t want to go through the hassle of finding new gear.

If you’re looking for a holster that’s both functional and optimized for use with the X300 Turbo, we highly recommend the Low Pro Light Compatible Holster from Guerrilla Tactical.

What Holster Fits the SureFire X300 Turbo?

The Low Pro Light Compatible Holster from Guerrilla Tactical is the perfect complement to the SureFire X300 Turbo. Specifically designed for inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry, the Low Pro holster prioritizes both concealment and comfort while accommodating weapon-mounted lights like the X300 Turbo.

The Low Pro design is Guerrilla Tactical’s most concealable IWB holster, featuring two points of retention to ensure a snug and secure fit. One of the standout features is the modwing claw attachment, which presses against the belt, forcing the weapon to hug closer to the body. This dramatically reduces the overall imprint of the gun and light, making it easier to carry concealed—even with a weapon light like the X300 Turbo attached.

Built from durable .08” Kydex, the Low Pro holster is not only tough but also customizable. It’s designed to accommodate optics, suppressor-height sights, and threaded barrels, providing flexibility for those with upgraded or modified firearms. Additionally, Guerrilla Tactical allows for customization if you’re running a compensator, simply requiring you to mention the brand in the order notes for a proper fit.

For those concerned about waste, Guerrilla Tactical makes an effort to reduce material usage by offering a mid-length sweat guard height for lights like the X300 Turbo, TLR7HL-X, TLR1, and PL350, without compromising on comfort or protection.

Conclusion

The SureFire X300 Turbo is a standout in the world of weapon lights, offering a powerful and precise beam for tactical situations. Its combination of 66,000 candela, long-range capabilities, and rugged construction makes it a valuable tool for anyone who needs high-performance lighting on their firearm. Paired with the Guerrilla Tactical Low Pro Light Compatible Holster, you can carry your firearm equipped with the X300 Turbo comfortably and discreetly.

Together, the SureFire X300 Turbo and the Low Pro Light Compatible Holster offer an unbeatable combination of power, reliability, and concealability. For those serious about tactical performance, this duo represents the pinnacle of weapon-mounted light setups.
