Reviews & Ratings for Streamlight Tl-Racker Shotgun Forend LED Light — 46 reviews — Page 1

Fantastic bright light. Fits fine (a small amount of wiggle is apparently normal). My biggest issue was the installation. The provided plastic forend nut removal tool wore out within 2 turns, so I had to find a different option. Other than that, it works well, is very bright, and fits well on my Mossberg 590.

Awesome product, works great on a Mossy 590M Shockwave, half the price of the Surefire DSF.

I debated between this and the competing versions for quite a while. I am typically a fan of Streamlight products so I decided to try one. In pictures, the light looked a little odd to me, but it’s well built with a quality appearance and feel. The shape is quite useful, I was afraid it would feel bulky in the hand. It actually has a positive feel and it works well. I broke the install tool taking the forearm off the shotgun. I have a metal tool for the job that I used to install the forearm that I was removing. You might want to grab one (they aren’t expensive) for this job. If your castle nut is tight, the included tool isn’t up to the job. I also had concerns over the light output. I feared it would be too bright and cause blinding reflections. The beam pattern is wide enough that it gives great coverage and you don’t have a hot spot right in front of you. It’s really a bargain for the performance. I’d still love to see an option to dim it to extend battery life and a flash option would be a nice bonus. Overall, I’d buy it again and I can recommend it. It’s a deal for the price and performance. If you don’t have a light in your shotgun, you should fix that by trying this one.

Streamlight builds high quality illumination. And this pump handle is typical streamlight quality overall. It fit well and was easy to install. However, I broke the installation tool that they send with it and you may too. If your pump handle nut is fairly loose, the tool will likely work. If it has been properly tightened, you will want to buy a stronger/metal tool for the job. They are readily available and will save you lots of frustration. The light has a good beam width and it’s plenty bright. I was afraid 1,000 lumens would cause blinding reflections. The shape of the beam makes it work well. I’d still like an option to reduce light output to save batteries and a flash/strobe option would be handy too. Still, I don’t think you can beat it for the price. If you’ve been wanting an integrated light for your shotgun, you can consider this an excellent value and it does the job very well.

Bright light,well made,not overly large, fits hand well.

Fit well and very bright light. Installation was straightforward and fit hand well. Function is excellent

Shipped and arrived promptly. Item was just as described. A major and sensible upgrade to the home defense shotgun. Built in light, crucial for target acquisition.

Excellent purchase overall. Well designed, sturdy, and reasonably priced. A major upgrade to any tactical and/or home defense shotgun. A no nonsense, life saving accessory, in that, God forbid, split second, life and death situation, where positive target acquisition is paramount.

I finally bought this light for my 870 and I’m glad I did. Armadillos Beware �

This Streamlight product just blows away the old SureFire brand incandescent tactical light for my Remington 870. It is significantly brighter and more compact. Not having the head of the light protrude well out past the slide handle is a noticeable improvement. Installation was not complicated. This upgrade was way overdue.
