I have been Carrying a firearm in some capacity since I was 17 yrs old and enlisted in the marines (with parents help) I first discovered the TRL series light when I was a Fugitive Recovery Agent. And continued to use it while doing Private Security and as a Firearms Instructor. The whole time doing double duty protecting my family. I've had it mounted on many handguns and a couple of rifles. I run it on my Glock 19 currently and with the proper two handed grip my support thumb is in the PERFECT position and the actuator for the light is right there! The surprise came when I upgraded to the HL (High Lumen) model. Man is it nice! The big plus is even with the extra light i dont get a lot of washout or blindness if you will when working with it indoors when i'm close to a wall. I've tried high output lights and when i use them inside a building and come too close to a wall the light creates a flash blindness for the user. Not this Streamlight! So the familiar ease of use combined with the solid construction and now High Output without hampering my line of sight has made me question why I even tried other lights in the past. And if you want or need or are required to have a strobe feature they have a model like that as well. So basically if you buy a TLR series light you will "see the light" . Read full review

It fits the gun, it casts more light than the high beams on a full sized 2016 ford transit, (no Bat signal around, and I don't want to talk to that jerk anyway) Fastener bolt hole is single position so with my Canik-TP9 series (full sized frame) the switch doesn't clear the trigger guard enough to bring the unit far enough back (there is a slot for the light, if it would fit) for my dainty little paws to like it straight out of the gate. It is probably more an issue that they didn't design this to fit my Turkistanian pistol (2019 handgun of the year) since they can't shrink the light, maybe an extended switch would be a nice option considering the manufacturer offers specific pieces to attach the fairly pricey light to several other mounting systems and the relatively cheap gun comes with several other back straps for shooter preference, combat effectiveness and comfort. What do I know though, I'm just a consumer.... Read full review

This light works very for its intended purpose as a weapon light. It does have a short battery life but it is not meant to be used consistently for long periods of time so I am ok with sacrificing battery life for lumens. I was able to easily see into the dark about 30 yards off my balcony (possibly more if not for the wood line) and in a house it is extremely effective in lighting up a normal sized room. The simple up down switch is very intuitive and installation and battery replacement are super simple. I have not had a chance to put it completely though its paces yet but so far I am very happy with this light. I would not call it a really light light (haha) but it is not so heavy that it effects my ability to use it, only my ability to carry it daily. I don't really have a point of reference for comparing it to other dual CR123 weapon lights that it could be lighter or heavier than, but I use it as a bed stand light and if I chose to carry it mounted to a side arm every day for concealed carry I would need a wider belt and something to counter balance it, but that's just me. Others may have no issue with the added bulk and weight for every day carry. If you are looking for a good weapon mounted light that is easy to operate, install, switch between weapon platforms and provides a blinding amount of light I highly recommend the TLR-1 HL.Read full review

I swear that this is THE BEST LIGHT you can buy for the money hands down!!! After trying out my brothers TLR-1 HL (old model 630 lumens) that he uses on his duty weapons (AR15, Glock 40, and his shotgun) I was sold!! This new version of the TLR-1 HL is a whopping 800 lumens and for its brightness and toughness I would put it up against any high dollar over priced tactical light out there. Not to name any other brands but that 300+ dollar light your looking purchasing is a overpriced piece of **** compared to this one! I hope for your benefit that you read my review and take what I said into consideration... if you don't, good luck to you because you paying way too much for an inferior product! -Bryan

I rate this 4.7 stars. The reason for not 5 stars, the activation switch feels a little flimsy but overall not too bad. I compared this head to head with the more expensive surefire x300u-b 600 watt. The streamlight has more flood and the sure fire has a little less flood and a littlw more range. The streamlight is just a little brighter and the color of light output is more white with the stream light. My overall opinion is you cant beat this for a sub $120 light! I bought 1 of the surefires and 3 of these after i compared the 2 head to head if that says anything.
