Streamlight had a pretty impressive display at SHOT Show this year, including the Green Laser Version of their Mega-Popular TLR-2! No doubt it’ll be a big hit! Streamlight debuted a variety of new handheld lights, and two features were dominant: high-lumen and green.
For a quality handheld option, the Streamlight Strion series is a great option, and there are new high lumen models coming!
First, we took a look at the Strion series – new high-lumen LED models will be coming out soon.
The TLR-2 HL is a more powerful version of one of Streamlight’s Most Popular weapon lights!
Two of the most popular weapon lights of all time have been the TLR-1 and TLR-2, and after the wild success of the TLR-4 in 2012, Streamlight put some focus into offering new models of these classics boasting great new features. Both the TLR-1 and TLR-2 are set to come in new high lumen versions – the TLR-2 high lumen model will continue to offer a red laser as well.
Who could resist a TLR-2 with a Green Laser? Not Us!
The big news was the introduction of a TLR-2 with a green laser. People have been clamoring for this for years, and it’ll finally arrive this year. We expect this to be extremely popular.
The TLR-1 Game Spotter helps you find game with a true green LED light!
For hunters, Streamlight is also releasing the TLR-1 Game Spotter this year – with a true green LED perfect for spotting wounded game. This is not a filtered white light – it’s true green and designed specifically for the hunting community.
I’ve written about the Streamlight TLR-4 and TLR-2 quite a few times both here on GearExpert.com and on the OpticsPlanet Facebook page, and they were both big sellers on OpticsPlanet last year, so I’m sure they’re going to be huge hits with you guys throughout 2013! Be sure to check out our Facebook page, because we’re actually giving away one of these awesome new flashlights as well as gear from Nikon, NightForce, Crimson Trace and EOTech. Each day brings a new giveaway!

If the TLR-2 is the best weapons rail sight since sliced bread, Why did they skip a 3 and went to a TLR-4 and just exactly what is that model? Better than, equal to, or less of an item than the publicized TLR-2?
Hey Kevin! They didn’t skip the TLR-3. The TLR-3 was a lower-powered smaller version of the TLR-1, designed to fit more compact pistols. There’s a little more to it – it’s not just a carbon copy of the TLR-1.
The TLR-4 follows the same pattern with the TLR-2, it’s a compact laser/light combo. If you have a full-size firearm, I suggest the TLR-2. If you have a compact (or even medium size), go with the TLR-4.
