    Streamlight TLR-1 WEAPON LIGHT

    So anyone got those? How do they compare to the Surefire X200(A/B)?

    How good are they at ranges up to 10 yards?

    I have one. Love it. Very bright and durable! In comparison to the SureFire... i'd say SureFire is better but I can't justify spending that much on a light when the Streamlight is way more affordable and overall a better value.

        I have one. you can get it from most places for under $100. Very bright but for some reason i find it very hard to change the batteries. I almost had to break the thing apart to replace the batteries.

          The instructions for the TLR state that the rails on the Sig 220 and 229 are not 1913 (picatinny) compliant and therfore the finish on the rail on both the pistol and the TLR will be damaged. Has anyone seen this problem on the Sigs?

            Someone posted on the Sigforum a while back about this problem. I think it was what lead Streamlight to put that in their manual. However the idea that the Sig rail is not mil std is not credible.

            What I don't like about the light is that you need a tool to detach it from the weapon. Not a big deal for a bedside gun, however not great for a carry piece.

              What's wrong with the Surefire X200A/B? Aesthetically, the TLR looks flimsy and the Surefire is sturdy...you can hammer a nail in with the Surefire. Mine has a pressure switch, model DS-11. I'd put in the extra money for quality.

                The surefire is about $150 more expensive for a 20 lum difference.

                  It's well worth it.

                    I have a tlr2, it looks flimsy but it's much more durable than it appears.

                    I had considered a surefire, but I figured I'd try the streamlight for my glock and get a surefire for the next railed pistol.

                      TLR's are durable. You can remove them without a tool. The batteries do take a little muscle to change but it shows you how tight they are sealed to prevent debris from entering.

                        Explain please. Both are made out of sturdy Aluminum. What justifies that large difference?

                            I have a TLR2 and I love it. Has been a fantastic light/laser combo.
                            Stuff and stuff.

                              I like mine, took it to the range for the first time. Shot 50 or so rounds and it stayed on tight.

                              Im a genuine E-thug, because talking s**t in person is dangerous.
