Inforce APLc, Streamlight TLR-6 or TLR-7.
TLR-1 is fine for my purposes.

Atlantic Guns had TLR-3 on sale as part of their Glock Sale for 84.95 , They may still honor that price if you call them Monday and ask , I have one on a Glock 19 for a night stand gun .

I use the Glock Tactical Light, not as bright as some of the others but I find 1000 lumens seems to be a bit blinding to both parties.

Tlr1hl....get this. Great controls, not too pricey, durable, acceptable lumen output(floods room with light for baseboard/umbrella lighting), and great candela for threat control(hotspot in face removes visual horizon). It's common enough to find plenty of holster options for it(especially when mounted on a glock). I've got an armadillo concealment Lux that keys to this light and allows you to use the same holster for multiple different guns. it's decently comfy for appendix and/or iwb at 3.
Another option would be the great olight pl2. It's 1,200 lumens with good controls, but you need to reach a little further with your shooting hand than I'd prefer. Off-hand manipulation of the pl2 with your thumb is a piece of cake though. It lacks a little throw/intensity of the tlr1, because the hotspot is larger and diffuses the candela a bit more, but it makes up for it with the increase in lumens lighting up everything in front of you pretty well for pistol ranges. If you can wait, olight runs flash sales allllllll the damned time with popular lights typically being either 30% or 40% off. Picking up a pl2 for $60 feels like you're stealing. You can still find holsters for it(again...especially for a glock...), but you need to look around a little more.

I wanna go fast
Another TLR-1 vote here.
Last I heard, the Olight PL2s had heat issues that resulted in half the output after 1.5 minutes. That alone is enough to steer me to the TLR-1 - not to mention the better holster selection.

Yep, tlr1 is what's on mine.
Yep-- second this suggestion.

TLR-1 if it is a house gun or something where concealment isn't the main priority.
The smaller ones get rather difficult to turn on. The TLR-1 controls are simple and are large enough to easily activate and deactivate.

TLR 1 is good, but if you want to conceal I would look at smaller options. Good news is every model imaginable is available for a glock. Holster compatibility is a huge option to consider too.

Safariland makes one.
Black Point Tactical has the option for their M.A.P. pouches.
I've never used either but came across them while looking for magazine holders.
