Great light if you don't get a counterfeit.
I bought my first APLc from Amazon in late 2017 and was impressed. I mounted it on a P320 Compact and it fit perfectly, with the switches on both sides within easy reach, the lens even with the muzzle, and the color, material, and design matching the P320 perfectly. At 200 lumens, the light was also bright enough for my residential use.
I liked it so much that I purchased another in August 2018.
Upon receiving the second light, I immediately knew the product's authenticity was suspect. Instead of being shipped in the standard InForce packaging, this light came in a small black plastic box with a folded piece of paper as the "manual." The light itself had no markings/serial number and did not look like an exact match for the light I purchased previously, so I called InForce to verify the authenticity and they confirmed I received a counterfeit. They also created graphics to help people determine if they received a genuine product, which I have attached to this review.
So how can you ensure you don't get a counterfeit item when ordering this product on Amazon? Well unfortunately, you probably can't, even if you select a vendor you know and trust.
Why - many Amazon vendors choose to participate in an Amazon program in which their products are "commingled" with the same product being offered for sale by other Amazon vendors. This practice helps to speed up product delivery since Amazon can ship a buyer a product from another vendor's stock in a distribution center closer to the buyer. While this process usually works great, it's a problem for products that are subject to counterfeiting since the buyer can't ensure they are getting a product from the vendor they specifically selected at checkout.
TL;DR: The light is 5 stars, but Amazon's ability to stop vendors from selling counterfeit versions of it is 1 star...and selecting a vendor you trust may not help. Buy it elsewhere.

New Sig P320 X-compact
By osvaldo rojas on April 14, 2019
Great fit on the new sig P320 X-compact 3.6in barrel, the screw lock on the first slot of the frame rail something I wish I would of known and maybe went with the (glock version) since the screw is a bit forward and I wouldn't have a gap between the front trigger guard and the back of the light making it a bit hard to access the activation button, it's not too bad I have medium size hands but that's not the light issue. The inforce APLC is great light with great spill.
