Streamlight 69414 TLR-8A Flex Low-Profile Rail-Mounted Tactical Light, Black/Red Laser

The TLR-300 is the subject of this review The red laser is laser 8A. I suspect it may be the case for the green as well, since the adjustments are the same. A bright light and laser is the first thing you notice. It's a pleasure to use the controls. My goal was to have a bright light that would blind an intruder, while also having a laser for quick on target if necessary. This was my dream to have this Lasers on pistols are both good and bad, yes, I get that. Several reviews pointed out that the left/right adjusting part of the camera did not function, but I figured it could be a one-off. I regret to inform you that My TLR sat on my desk for weeks before I decided to buy one The gun I purchased is an 8A from my local gun shop. We mounted it and it was straight-forward, the mount was secure, the light and laser were great, and everything worked as it was supposed to. A lot of good documentation was available. Therefore, I took it to the range in order to zero it. The signal was off, and the amplitude was higher on the right than the left. There is no problem adjusting up or down (the screw is slanted, so keep that in mind). Despite my best efforts, the left/right arrows would not move when I tried to adjust them. Since I didn't want to strip the screws, I took them After twisting hard enough, but not being able to get the screw or Allen wrench to move, I was about to strip it. After returning it to the store, I replaced it with another one. As I tried to zero it using my iron sights, it did not work. I had the same issue, we couldn't move the left or right. Having tried all three remaining units in the store and not wanting to make a fourth trip, I went back to the store. The problem was the same for all of them. When I contacted Streamlight about the problem, they were very responsive, saying they would fix it if it didn't work. Amazon offered one, so I bought one from them. Both adjustments worked when I sight it at home. Assumed it was roughly centered with respect As an avid ranger, I was eager to put it through its paces. There were a few blips in the range, so I adjusted the up/down, which didn't cause any issues. Now the L/R was frozen and all that could be done was to strip the Allen wrench. Immediately after returning the unit, I was given a credit. Though I suppose I could have sent it to the support team at Streamlight, I am not confident the problem will stay fixed if it is In summary, if you are lucky enough to get the L/R to work, you are incredibly lucky. In both cases, I switched to the TLR-based method The 7A only applies to lights. You're right, that unit is awesome. I think the laser adjustment would be a good option if Streamlight made it work. If you're thinking of buying a TLR, stick with the light one- Make sure you follow 7A to save If you want to use another sighting device, opt for red dots.

My Springfield Armory XD 9mm Service model has a 4" barrel, so I bought this for it. Installing the battery as well as installing the docking station was simple. The university's license is included with it There was one mounting plate already installed, and this is the one I was going to mount my handgun on, so I just loosen the mounting screw a bit, mount it on the rail, I love the way it matches the length of the barrel exactly the end of the light closes to the end. There is a second set of switches that you can install to replace the stock switches in case you don't like the feel of the stock switches. I left the back switch on, but you can add the ones that came with the light. Both my guns and thumbs can be operated with hardly any changes to my grip when I use my gun. The device is simple to use, allowing it to be switched between modes quickly. As I mentioned above, I zeroed the laser with a laser bullet that I already had. This was also pretty straightforward. My next step was to take it to a In general, I practice with the sighting system when the laser is out, so that I will be able to better see through the metal sights. In addition to shooting rounds with the laser, I also fired a few. This was a dead on target first shot. The TLR- has been activated about 50 times after being fired In the meantime, 8 was secured and it was When I fired my rounds, I did not see any movement resulting from the recoil. Here's a quick note on red vs green lasers The green color of lasers can be seen better in bright light, according to my reading. In the beginning I ordered the green, but it took over a month to arrive. The red laser is the only one I can use because I rarely shoot outside in sunlight. Although I am not very good at judging distances away from 15 or 20 yards, I was able to see everything at the range with A green laser was on the shooting line next to my own, and honestly, my red laser was significantly brighter than his. As a result, I am pleased with the color I would like to add a comment There are complaints that the battery is hard to find and is difficult to buy. I looked around and I found that a few stores have a good supply of this type of battery, which is not a typical flashlight Though they are not cheap, they are worth their price. Brightness of the light and laser may be due to the fact that this is a good powerful battery type for this type of Purchase the TLR- even if it makes you apprehensive I wish I had known about this product sooner.

The only disadvantage is that since this light isn't very common, I haven't been able to find a kydex holster which fits my pistol and has Considering that I purchased an affordable weapon light, I should have bought a more mainstream product. Another disadvantage is that the laser light is completely invisible in the sun, even at a distance of five Doesn't seem to be useful during the day. To aim with, I would prefer to have a light without the laser built in and rely on red dot sights instead.

It was obvious there were scratches on the screw that tightens the light to the rail on a few of the different rail adapters that were just sitting in the box. There was no doubt that the battery had already been I feel pretty bad and annoyed right now.

Yes, for sure! When I tried to buy it, I thought it was The laser and light couldn't be toggled at the same time. Wasn't able to see the fine print due to not having the right glasses. Finally, I was able to solve the problem. It will remember the options if you hold any of the switches down and then toggle with the other. This is in the book, yes. Pages 4 and 5. A small print is included. My little rubber "riot gun" was mounted on it. There is a low hang, but it is not very Easily accessible buttons that can be hit by reaching forward. My lighting needs are limited to 500 lumens. Could have gone surefire if I had been able to. There are a number of those things in my possession. However, a rubber ball gun would be a better option. I guess. This works fine. The red laser seems to work OK. Hopefully it will be able to be zeroed. However, a rubber ball gun would be a better option. We don't fuss too much.
