SureFire XC3-SUB-A Subcompact Weapon Light

SureFire XC3-SUB-A Subcompact Weapon Light

The XC3 Sub represents SureFire's answer to the concealed-carry shooter who demands serious performance without compromise. This is a purpose-built weapon light engineered specifically for subcompact handguns—the firearms most of us actually carry.

Performance and Output

The XC3 Sub delivers 1,000 lumens of intense white light shaped by SureFire's precision parabolic reflector. This isn't just brightness for brightness's sake. The beam generates 13,000 candela, providing positive target identification at distances up to 228 meters in low-light conditions. The beam pattern is intelligently designed with an optimized corona of diffused light, giving you situational awareness in the near field while maintaining reach downrange.

Design and Durability

SureFire built the XC3 Sub from lightweight, high-strength aerospace aluminum. The body is Mil-Spec hard anodized and sealed against the elements—meaning this light will function reliably whether you're carrying daily or training in adverse conditions. It's compact enough not to compromise your handgun's concealability, yet rugged enough for serious use.

Controls and Power

Ambidextrous switching provides both momentary and constant-on activation, allowing you to operate the light intuitively from either side. The XC3 Sub ships with a rechargeable SFRCR123 lithium battery, but it also accepts standard 123A lithium primary batteries for added versatility.

Compatibility

The XC3 Sub securely fits most railed subcompact handgun models and mounts to universal and Picatinny accessory rails.
