SureFire DG Switch: The Definitive Grip Assembly for Instant One-Handed X-Series Light Control
- The SureFire DG Switch connects directly to your X-Series WeaponLight for instant control during high-stress encounters. Designed for law enforcement and home defense, this remote switch fits tightly against your pistol’s grip so you never have to adjust your hold to see in the dark. It is a field-proven upgrade that gives you a critical advantage when you only have one hand free to engage a threat.
- Activates Instantly with 1-Handed Pressure: The center-mounted pad sits naturally under your middle finger on the pistol grip. You get immediate momentary-on light without moving your thumb or changing your shooting stance to reach a toggle switch.
- Custom Fit for 7+ Major Handgun Brands: Specific models are molded to match the trigger guard profile of Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, and 1911 frames (see compatibility chart). The switch stays locked in place and does not snag on your holster or clothing during the draw.
- Surgical Control for X-Series WeaponLights: This assembly replaces the standard battery cap on your X300, X400, or XH30 light. It allows you to pulse the light for threat identification while keeping a full, secure firing grip on the weapon at all times.
What are some common accessories to add to the SureFire DG switch?
Primary Light System (The Core)
- SureFire X300U / X300V / XH30: The Host WeaponLights. The surefire x300 dg switch setup is useless without these. These lights provide the blinding white light or IR illumination you need, while the DG Switch gives you the surgical one-handed control to use them effectively without compromising your grip.
- SureFire X400U / X400V / X400UH / X400VH: Integrated Laser/Light Systems. For operators who need laser aiming alongside illumination. The DG Switch allows you to activate both the light and laser simultaneously (or selectively, depending on the X400 mode) with a single squeeze, critical for shooting from unconventional positions.

SureFire DG Switch FAQs
What is a SureFire DG Switch?
It is a special switch that attaches to the grip of your handgun. It lets you turn your X-Series light on or off with just one hand. You simply squeeze the grip to turn the light on, so you don't have to move your fingers.
What is the SureFire DG-23?
The DG-23 is the specific model made for Sig Sauer P320 frames. It fits perfectly on that gun so the switch is in the right spot for your hand. If you need a surefire DG switch for Sig P320 frames specifically, this is the correct part number.
Why would I need this switch?
If you read almost any surefire DG switch review, the main point is safety. In a high-stress situation, you want both hands on your gun to aim better. This switch lets you control the light without taking your hand off the grip, which keeps you safer and more accurate.
Can this interfere with my holster?
No, usually not. The switch is very thin and hugs the trigger guard tightly. It fits in most standard duty holsters without any issues or special changes.
Will this improve my usage of the X300 light?
Yes. It makes the light much faster to use. Instead of reaching for a switch, you just squeeze your hand. This is faster and easier, especially if you are nervous or in a hurry.
