I'm going to hold off until the complete set is available but this is awfully tempting.

Yes, great price, but since I've not yet had the opportunity to try the new switches, I need the Flex model which has both switches.

Looks good. I'm thinking high switch is where it's going to be at for me.

The Streamlight 7A "flex" (item 69424) has come into stock at my distributor. This model includes both the high and low switches. I have an initial order shipping to me today that I expect to see Monday or Tuesday.

If you are interested in one, my price is $120 shipped for one light or $230 shipped for two lights since I will save a little on shipping. Acceptable payment is either a check or postal money order mailed to me or discrete payment via PayPal or Google Pay.

Unfortunately, I do not accept credit cards as the 3% in fees would eliminate basically all of my profit. You might be able to pay by card with PayPal but please add 3% to do so.

I obviously do not expect anyone to pre-purchase lights before I have them in hand, but at the same time wanted to allow those mailing funds a head start.

Please email SigForum@bvarms.us to order. I apologize for basically placing an ad here in this thread, but I know several people are watching here.

Thanks!

Would one of you guys with more modestly sized hands post a review or pictures of your grip an reach to the new buttons on these if you wouldn’t mind.

Thanks much,
Chris.

My plan once I have these in hand is to try to get a series of pics knocked out of them on a variety of common carry sized guns with high and low switches.

As soon as I get mine I will post some on my P2000 which if I remember right is where your TLR-7 is right now.

The first round of lights are in. If you paid me via Paypal, yours is on the way. I received a couple checks about 30 minutes after I dropped todays outgoing stuff off, so those will be shipping soon.

My initial impressions after handling the light are very good. The switch is high quality and has a good tactile feel. It makes a little "click" sound when you press it. It is very easy to access as well. I think that most users will prefer the high switch, but I found that on a couple guns my trigger finger hit it going into the trigger guard, so for those the low switch might be preferable. The same is likely true for anybody wearing gloves who needs a big, open trigger guard.

I have taken a few photos of the light on some common guns. For now they are sitting in a publicly viewable Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive...Sw5c8xMm?usp=sharing

The guns included are:
Glock 19/23/32
M&P 2.0 Compact 4"
SP2022
P320c
CZ P01 Omega
P229
Steyr M40A1
Springfield XD 4"

I can take additional photos with full-size guns if somebody wants them. I have not taken any low switch pictures yet as it has been a hectic day.

Thanks everyone!

Below are some pics of the light on various handguns along with the high and low switch. Before we go any further, let me caution everyone who picks one of these up that the low switch comes with a piece of foam in it in the packaging. Whatever you do don't remove that foam until you're over a workbench or some other suitable surface, preferably with a towel or something down. The reason for the foam is it's holding in two plungers that activate the switches. Trying to find one of these in the floorboard of an F-150 is not fun...so I've been told.

Anyhow, as to the switches I'm going to guess that 75% or more of folks will opt for the high switch. If you shoot with a thumbs forward grip the high switch is easily reachable with your weak hand thumb, even for someone like me with medium size hands. If you have very large hands or on certain guns the low switch may be preferable. For me, the low switch results in more of a downward push than it is forward. Still doable, but not as comfortable.

On to the pics:

P-226 w/high switch


P-226 w/low switch


P2000 w/high switch


P2000 w/low switch


P-07 w/high switch


P-07 w/low switch


VP9 w/high switch


Forgot the VP9 with the low switch, but you get the picture. Sorry no Glocks with rails (43X only).

Thanks for the VP9 pic...looks like a great fit. Same on the P320 in DaBigBR's pics.

If these play out well in the field, my TLR-1 days may be numbered.
