I have one of the first TLR-7s that came out, it's a great light. I'm eventually moving all my off duty lights to the TLR-7. I ordered the OLight to try something different on a play gun.

I have a TLR 8 that I’ve had good luck with. Seems well built.

My Olight came in. It’s pretty nice for half the price of my TLR-7.
I have plenty of charger cords from all my other Olights.

It’s going on my plinker pistol for some heavy shooting this weekend. We’ll see how it holds up.

Yeah holster selection is THE issue when you are actually going to carry a pistol with a WML.

If it's a house gun that you'll never holsters, slap a X300U or TLR-1whatever model is best and you are good.

If the light makers were smart, they come up with a common form factor/envelope for each size/class of pistol lights (ie full size, mini/glock flush fit, etc.) This way the holstermakers could make their holsters to accommodate the standard, and all the lights would fit.

It's not a carry gun or a house gun.

I actually have a holster coming Monday for the 19X and O Light. It's an OWB kydex holster. I forgot who made it, I've ordered a bunch of holsters for home and work this week.

My daily carry gun is a Glock 32 with TLR-7 and my bedside gun is a Glock 21 with TLR-1. Both have dedicated holsters.


Now, my duty holster that fits the M3/TLR-1/Procyon(remember those pieces of crap!) fits my TLR-7 just fine.

TLR-7 has a more focused beam.




OLight has a whiter beam and more flood

I sold my two SF XC-1s and got three Streamlight TLR-7s which are on EDC guns. The balance of power, size, and proven quality is fantastic. The switch makes sense and is easy to use, it has sufficient runtime, and is small enough to not make a holster much larger. I use a TR Holsters IWB for the Glock 19 w/TLR-7 and a Gearcraft IWB for the SIG P229 w/TLR-7.
