One bad light !!!!!, September 23, 2009
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.

Very Bright!, April 15, 2009
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.

Great Product!, March 18, 2008
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.
