The Bayco Nightstick Subcompact WML is a compact tactical weapon light purpose-built for short-rail and narrow-rail subcompact pistols. If you carry a compact EDC gun—think Glock 43X, Sig P365, or Springfield Hellcat—this light solves the mounting challenge that full-size weapon lights can't address. At 650 lumens from a single CR123 battery, it generates enough output for threat identification and target confirmation in low-light defensive scenarios, with a focused beam that reaches 136 meters. That's genuine reach without the bulk of a duty-sized light.

The build is rugged: aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hard anodizing, plus a polymer rear housing that keeps weight minimal without sacrificing durability. The rear-facing toggle switches are ambidextrous—mount it on either side—and give you intuitive control of momentary and constant-on modes. User-selectable strobe and battery-safe modes add flexibility for different scenarios. The TIR lens projects a tight, defined hotspot with a crisp halo at the edges, which helps with situational awareness in tense moments. Everything's waterproof, impact resistant, and comes serialized for personal ID.

Compatibility is extensive across the most popular compact pistol platforms: Glock G43X and 48 (including MOS and RAIL versions), Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro, HK45 Compact, Ruger Security 9C and 380C, SCCY CPX series, Shadow Systems CR920, Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 subcompacts and EZ Shield variants, Springfield XD-E, XD-S, and Hellcat, Stoeger STR-9MC, Walther CCP and P22, and other 1913 short-rail subcompacts. One CR123 battery is included.
