I have the L2D CE (not as powerfull as the Q5) and love it, but with less than 140 lumens I leave the "tactical" work to my T1 or SF Malkoff 6P. Depending on how/if you can conceal it, it would be an excellent choice. At almost 6 inches, it could be a bit uncomfortable in your pocket, but it runs on AA's (which are cheap, but it is better to use rechargables or even better, lithiums) so it is thin. I wear mine on my belt between my extra mag and cell phone.
The L2D is to big to use. Then the P2D would be better sized. I haven't been able to try one though. So I don't know how far it throws and how wide the beam is.
I would prefer is it used CR123 batteries, because we get them for free at work.
