I have long been cmr204,less than pleased owner & just replaced it with a TLR8ag from a seller on Ebay,which is now mounted & sighted in.

TLR8AG pros:

-Nearly as compact as Crimson Trace CMR204,

-comparable price to cmr204

-5x brighter light than CMR 204 (specs are 100 lumens for 204 vs. 500 lumens for TLR-8ag)

-much better easer, more secure, (closer to weapon, better adapters, one screw tightening) spring loaded mount)mounting than CMR-204

-brighter laser than cmr-204.Held side by side, on shining at same wall, TLR-8 is brighter& crisper.

-better positioned switches with better design, including activation motion, quality and pressure needed for activation than CMR204

-tighter, identical (uses same size allen wrench)adjustment screws than CMR 204

-unlike my CMR 204 out of the box, I didn't have to take the TLR8ag apart to reengineer the tiny switches to make them work without pressing them very hard. I had to take the CMR-204 add material to the tiny protrusions that touch the switch board of the CMR 204!?! but wait, that's not all: I tr5aded in two others before that with the same problem before I was able to diagnose the issue and fix it on the third CMR-204 I received!

-better, easier way to change between light configurations than the CMR-204.

little TLR-8agCons:

-my TLR8ag didn't come from a Streamlight vendor and did not have a windage & elevation adjustment wrench in the but the CMR 204 comes with fairly nice screwdrivers.

-The TLR8 ag comes with an
