Recommend a pistol light for me..? (vanity)

Hello all,

FR seems as good a group as any to ask a firearm related question:

I have a 4.6" Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 (10mm) I'd like to put a light on. I've never had a pistol with a light before, and am finding myself a bit overwhelmed by the sheer variety of choices.

Any recommendations? I don't particularly mind it being toward the heavier end of things, since that'll help calm down the relatively lightweight M&P's muzzle snap. (I tell ya, you get spoiled by the good recoil manners of a 1911 sometimes...)

This is a gun I intend to carry pretty much strictly outdoors, so I'd lean personally toward a brighter light rather than worrying about it being too bright for indoors.

For budget let's say more "Streamlight" than "Surefire"...

Thanks in advance, FRiends.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who offered genuine advice, and not snark or admonishments for me wanting to put a light on a pistol that will likely never be handled “with intent” within a mile of another human being:

Thanks, guys.

My apologies to anyone who sees this who’s name I might’ve missed via typo or because their useful reply was to someone else.

My current frontrunner is a Streamlight TLR-7, but I’m looking into the other possibilities raised in this thread. I appreciate it.

Okay, nice to know I’m not the only one who ruined a pair of bluejeans that way!=^)

The problem with a pistol light, other than making the pistol set up more bulky, is that it tells the bad guys where to shoot.
