Reviews & Ratings for Streamlight TLR-6 Tactical LED Weapon Light for Springfield Hellcat — 11 reviews — Page 1

This product functions as should, but upon trying to install on springfield hellcat, there was a half inch gap between the trigger guard and light. It doesn’t fit and description needs to be updated

Every time I use this light, I realize just how much more I love it.

You know, 100 lumens doesn't sound like a lot, but, for what I use it for, it's certainly enough. I'd say as long as you're within 20 yards outdoors in low-light conditions or within any normal residential distance indoors, this light is perfect for scanning, searching, navigating, and identifying threats. I don't think it'll blind anyone, but it'll certainly provide you with enough information to decide how you want to proceed with whatever you're dealing with. The light has a nice hotspot and has more of a focus on a concentrated beam, while also providing some flood to give you some scope of situational awareness in the direction that you're looking. Overall, I think it's a great option for the money and form factor.

If I had any complaints it would be:
1) The battery type is uncommon, thus harder to source/replace. Battery life is good, but finding a replacement may or may not be difficult. I understand why it was chosen, it's just not as easily findable.

2) The laser point of aim can shift slightly, when pressing the activation buttons. Not a huge deal because you'll still easily be hitting whatever you're aiming at, at the distances you'll be using this thing for, but it should be noted. Not surprising, given the mounting method and that the housing is plastic instead of metal, but it's worth mentioning. I only notice it because I have a red dot mounted and I noticed that the laser would be shifted...

The TLR6 is a good accessory for my pistol. Easy to install. Fits well. Easy to zero. Great light for illuminating night targets and the laser helps aiming with my eyesight at night. And I can have both the light and laser on at the same time or just one or the other. I’ve read reviews that the battery compartment opens when drawing the pistol from a holster but I did not experience that with my holster. That said, not many specific tlr holsters exist for the Hellcat and I didnt like the ones I’ve tried, so I’m still searching for one for my EDC that works for me. Thats the limitation of this product…I enjoy the light but I’m looking for a holster that will give me a custom fit with my tlr installed.

I have used Streamlight products for over 20 years, professionally. This was was for my off duty carry Hellcat. I had it just a short time, and it stopped working. The laser/ light itself works, and when mounted in another case, it works great. But there's something not right with the housing for the Hellcat. It absolutely will not work when the battery cover is closed. I experimented by swapping out the laser/ light unit with other TLR-6 lights, none of them will turn on when in the Hellcat housing, and they all work in other housings. It's pretty weird deal. It seems like the battery cover compresses the batteries TOO much, preventing it from working. I did contact Streamlight and they said they are sending me a replacement housing. We will see how that goes.

First, I love streamlight. The Tlr6 however, is completely useless. Really mad that I wasted money on a holster and light that I will never be able to use. Cheap, unsecured battery compartment has no real retention. It WILL snap open when you draw from a holster and your batteries WILL drop to the floor. This design is irresponsible and is going to get someone killed.

The laxer light is a snug fit on my hellcat. The TLR-6 is built rugged and it’s not too bright or too dim. The problem with a lot of these lights is they make em too bright to the point where the light reflects off of light colored walls. Highly recommend and worth the $80

No issues. Used a bit of loktite on screws (as we always should). Been dropped and still no issues. Great amidex button for laser and light.
It's not the brightest but for the price... it's great. Fits snug. I highly recommend.

Unit flew off my Hellcat Springfield after the 2nd shot……I reinstalled it and it lasted 3 shots before it fell off ! There is no picatinny rail type system….mere friction does not hold unit in place due to recoil. I can not believe Streamlight would have such a terrible design! Did no one test this setup???

Ok so the flashlight part works just fine and is the only light I could find to fit my Hellcat. Looks great mounted on it and functions fine after about 150 rds at the shooting range. I really only wanted a light and the laser was just an added bonus. But the laser adjustment screw/hole that you turn with the included hex tool was stripped and won't rotate at all. I needed to change the elevation on it but can't so I ended up just not using the laser mode. Also please know that the light worked before I mounted it. Then I mounted it first time and I must've pinched something or it was loose somewhere because it didn't turn on after then took it off and attached it again. Then it worked on 2nd try and has worked since then.
