    Need recommendations on a tactical light

    I am looking for a tactical light for a Glock 21. Have been eyeing a Trl 1s and Glocks light. I do not know much about weapon lights. So was looking for recommendations. My price range is up to $150. Looking to get a light that I can use on camping trips and at home/defense.

    Any of the streamlights in that price range should be good.

      TLR 3 will preform well.

      If you have the extra cash the 1 is also a nice option. Overkill but tacticool if you have the extra cash. Both will handle the job of a weapon light.

        I just bought a TLR-1s and am extremely happy with it so far. Solid fit and feel and easy to use whether constant on, momentary on, or strobe.

          TLR-1s is the way to go

            Second recommendation on the TLR1. Also like the flat bulb shape, which makes cleaning easier than SureFire's curved lens. The curved lens also tends to stick out more and takes a lot of muzzle blast.

                I have the TLR-3. Best bang for the buck. The quality is great, very good fit and finish, very compact and perfect for HD. You can buy it new on Amazon for less than $70.

                  All streamlights are good to go. The controls are awesome.

                  I also like the new Inforce lights.

                      The Insight M3 is the best fitting light for a Glock in your price range. Its also easier to mount/dismount than a TLR-1 due to its locking system. Either light will work well.

                      Here is a picture of an M3 mounted on a G17. You can see that there is no gap at all between the front of the trigger guard and the back of the light.

                        I know what some are gonna say about this light but, I have a Big 5 special Nebo light, laser combo. It is 160 lums and a strobe function also. I have had it on my G22 for about 2 years now with no problems at all. Laser functions well also. I have fired off 4 15 rd. mags quickly with no malfunctions at night with the light and laser on. Cost was only $59.95.

                          My Favorite flashlight of all time was a Nebo. I actually talked with another member who has an NC Star model on his. looks great also. Thank you for the idea.

                          I guess no one likes the Glock pistol light because not one person has recommended it.

                            I currently have a X300 Ultra. IMO, spend half as much and get the new 300 lumen TLR-1s

                              ^^^ so is that why I paid >$100 for mine on sale? I noticed a lot of people saying you could get one for <$100 and had a little buyers remorse...only for a second though! This thing is sweet!
