Seemed like a good price considering the TLR1s are about 100 bucks eh?

You willing to bet your life on that light?

I spent $80 on a TLR-3 a while back, and I thought it was going to be a great light. Everytime I brought it to the range I never thought of firing the gun with the light on, because the range was already lit. This last weekend I tried it out, and as it turned out, my TLR-3 would shut off when I fired the gun (rocker switch was still in the on position). I wouldn't trust my life to that particular light (could have been a lemon) again until I had another that I could constantly test for flawless performance.

Now think about some off name brand product. If a well known product could have simple issues like these, I probably wouldn't want to be trusting that light with my life.

LED. I sent it back to Streamlight. I have a feeling that it was just my particular TLR-3. I did a google search and didn't find any other people posting similar problems so, probably just a lemon.
