This weapon-mounted TLR-1 light is ONE BAD LIGHT. I've always been impressed with Streamlight's quality.....especially for the price. Why pay more for the "SF" brand? I've had "SF" lights before and, IMHO, they're just not worth the extra money. But I digress.

This light has the "instant on-off" feature, as well as the "lock-on".....just toggle the switch in opposite directions. It is VERY bright and, due to the LED technology, the bulbs won't break or burn out. I have it mounted on my Beretta CX-4 Storm.
I've already ordered and received a 2nd light for my Mossberg 500, and will be ordering a few more for other weapons that I have.

Just a note about the TLR-2 and TLR-3. I chose the TLR-1 because it is much brighter than the TLR-3, and has an aluminum body (vs plastic....er, composite).......for not much more money.....a better bargain, IMO. The TLR-2 is much more expensive because it has laser sights, which I'm not real keen on.

Anyway.....buy this light.....you won't regret it.

I recently purchased this to upgrade my M3. It is intensely bright and completely drowns out my M3 when I did a comparison with them. It's very sturdy and fits perfectly on my Glock. If I could change only one thing on it, it's that the finger switch to activate the constant or momentary light feels a little weak and made of some very cheap plastic. I don't see this being a problem but I wish that it was a bit more solid like it is on the M3.
If you're planning or even thinking about getting this; do it. You won't regret it and it's the perfect upgrade to whatever you were using before. My M3 is still in use on another weapon but this new TLR-1 LED has been on my duty weapon from the first day I got it and I don't see it being replaced for a very long time. And don't let my issue with the finger switch persuade you otherwise, it is the perfect gun light for whatever you're using.

This is a great product, bright, sturdy construction and tight fit. Excellent for building searches and home defense as it completely lights up a dark room. At less than half the price of the competitor, you really can't go wrong.

This is a quality piece of gear at a great price.... its performance is impressive. My one complaint is the instruction manual as it truly gives VERY poor and unclear direction on opening the battery door for installation. I consider myself to be of reasonable intelligence, but I struggled with this thing for 20 minutes plus.... or maybe I'm just having a brain fart today, but I was close to returning it! Its really easy when you know how and have figured it out, but I could have come really close to damaging the unit with a lever thinking that its just tight? The key is pushing the battery release lever firmly all the way back which makes the door toggle open. When first released, the lever stops halfway and doesn't appear to want to go back further, but it does and this action finally releases the door.... so, no levering is necessary, you just need the right technique.

So.... a great little unit, but instructions that suck.

This is a solid unit: a bright light with a good rail system. It is designed as a pistol light, but works well for shorter urban use on a rifle or shotgun. If you are thinking you need to light up targets beyond 40 yards, you might be better off with one of the other Streamlight products.

Note that Streamlight makes a similar unit with a laser, but I have been happy with this unit.

Very bright and uniformed light. Easy to attach, a must buy if you CCW at night or have your sidearm bedside (I own two). I'm very skeptical purchasing items without researching it and being able to hands on it prior to purchasing but you will like this light. I don't know how water resistant or proof it is, might want to check on this if you are going to use this attachment in environment that will get it wet.

This is my second Streamlight TLR-1 (the first being the non-C4 LED version). Everything you need is in the package (including batteries and hex key). Brightness is significantly increased with the LED version compared to the previous - but either is more than adequate for it's intended purpose: on a handgun, indoors, for commie-invasion-defense.

This model is actually slightly smaller than other similarly priced products, but has the benefits of an aluminum casing, easy and secure attachment, and intuitive use of the on/off switch. The plastics or hybrid alternatives have many instances of breakage during use, so I would strongly recommend the TLR-1 for anyone interested in a pistol light. This would be adequate for a carbine light as well, but would not be my first choice in that application.

I have had my first TLR-1 for... 3-4 years with no issues, this item has been to the range through 900+ rounds already and no signs of wear, tear or cracking. The additional weight on the end of the muzzle actually helps assist with muzzle rise, but is modest enough to be forgettable for carry. I avoided plastic models because of the reports of frequent breaking/cracking over time.

I carry a CCW with this light during the winter months, and the size is small enough to not be noticable. with a proper holster, there are essentially no draw-backs with the TLR-1 on the gun. I am not a fan of lasers for anything but range-time, and additional size and weight with the TLR-3 may become an issue. However the TLR-1 should work on virtually ANY size handgun with a rail - but I would contemplate the usefulness on compact models as the light will likely project one full inch past the muzzle (defeating the purpose of a compact handgun).

In sum: You would be hard pressed to find a more suitable pistol light for the price point. The TLR is an excellent product and I see no need to pay $300+ for a brand-name. If you are on the fence looking for a pistol light for home defense or carry, I would strongly suggest the TLR-1 as your first consideration.

For Tactical shooting it is great. I have had for a month and love it. Easy to install and move between weapons. Only product I would replace it with on my SR556 is the MVF-515 from Crimson Trace that would stay on that weapon. Huge difference in price between this cost effective unit and the MVF. Would buy again if needed. Service from AMAZON was great.

I bought this light about a year ago from another site (and paid way more!), and was going to put it on my CX4 carbine, but it found its way onto my Beretta 96D pistol instead. My pistol is my primary home defense weapon, and with this light on it, I'll get the drop on any goblins who venture in late at night. The switch on it works well, and has a very positive lock to the full on position. Extremely bright, I saw it advertised as high as 135 lumens, and as low as 80. I would say it's closer to 135, because it drowns out the light on my other gun which is advertised as 95 lumens. All I know is that it is blinding, and lights up the interior of my house like daylight. It's also pretty durable, I've done regular shooting with it on my carbine, pistol and my M&P 15 and after over 500rds it still works like the day I got it. Overall, great value for the money, and a great product.

For even more fun, pick up the newer version (Streamlight 69210 TLR-1s Weapon C4 LED Light with Strobe). Same quality light, but with a strobe!

Light is well built, heavy-duty and bright, bright, bright. Switch is in an easy to reach location for your trigger finger just past the trigger guard. The 125 lumen LED is legit! Bright as you need and the center dot of it lines up with my sights, making target acquisition easy.

The only downfall I can think of, and it doesn't show in my rating, is the weight of it. If you're looking to pack something super lightweight, this bad boy isn't for you. But if you've got a pistol/rifle that's already pushing the heavy side, this won't make much difference.
