We saw the Coast pistol lights at Shot Show this year, and were immediately intrigued. It seems all light manufacturers have been struggling with satisfying the needs of customers who want more “flood” style lights, while meeting the needs of those who want all the candela they can get. Coast thinks they’ve solved this problem with their patented focusing mechanism on the PTX35R and PTX65R. Specs are as follows:
The PTX30R and PTX35R are more of a compact light, and utilizes a single CR-123A sized battery. The PTX65R is similar in size to a TLR-1, and utilizes two batteries.
Both the PTX65R and PTX35R allow you to choose between “flood” and “spot” beams by pulling back on the light bezel and twisting. I recommend only doing this with the pistol verified unloaded and safe, or the before the light is installed, as it can be a little too easy to put your fingers in front of the barrel when performing this operation.
Here is the manufacturer’s video highlighting the lights:
I personally think the “sleeper” of these lights is the fixed-focus PTX30R, which boasts strong candela numbers. But those of you who want a strong flood should check out the other two lights. They’re priced similar to other lights in their class on the market, but Coast is a giant in the LED industry, and I suspect they’ll sell a ton.
Werkz is happy to support Glock pistols when outfitted with any of these three lights.
IWB support is provided in our most advanced holster — the Bisect light bearing. The Bisect provides a precise-fitting holster, cut to the exact length of your Glock pistol, with a host of innovative features. From the front, you can see the premium Werkz steel belt clips, which are adjustable for ride height and cant, plus the concealment claw that can be adjusted with spacers for how much it pushes on the belt. The front side also has the retention adjustment, which is meant to suit a wide range of shooting preferences, from competition style easy of draw to higher levels of weapon retention. The rear of the holster shows the most innovative part, the Werkz soft bump. This bump is made of soft silicone and ride height adjustable. In addition, the bump is replaceable with higher or lower ones, to tune the amount it pushes the pistol away from your body. Every body type is different, which is why the Bisect has almost “overkill” levels of adjustment. Even so, the holster ships out of the box ready to go for most uses. The Bisect is cut to your pistol. This means that if you’re running the G19, the holster is cut back to the length of the G19. If you’re running the G34, then the holster is cut to that length. This helps ensure comfort with a minimum of additional bulk. Finally, the Bisect can be outfitted with a single or double mag carrier for your Glock.

OWB support is available in right or left hand options in our M7 holster. This holster provides the same precision fit and retention adjustment as the Bisect, but is optimized for OWB carry. The holster accepts either Blade-Tek or Safariland attachments, and utilizes a durable Werkz belt-slide accessory. Built for concealment and range time, the M7 can be comfortably carried all day. And yes, it also is cut to the exact length of your pistol.
