Tlr-1 hl is a great light at the best price! - Streamlight TLR-1 HL High-Lumen Weapon Light

Coming from law enforcement, a child of the 70s and cop of the 80s to present, all this "new fangled" technology is absolutely mind blowing! I still have my original 4-cell mag light, an early SL-20 Streamlight and have recently began updating all of my light sources to LED. We laughed at a fellow officer in the late 80s that tried to use an early "clip-on" for a mini-maglight at the range and fell off on his first round. I've come to rely heavily on Streamlight over the past 30+ years and the TLR-1 HL absolutely seals my confidence in Streamlight's engineering and design. I bought this for less than $115.00 with a coupon from OpticsPlanet.com and I couldn't be happier with the light or the deal! I only wonder how many bad guys got away with what would today would be considered inferior lighting? While some owners don't like the strobe, trust me, they work, it's a great feature. At this high a lumen, you can't think straight when it's flashing in your face. I showed my son (not on the gun of course)and he absolutely cannot look at the light source, it's that disorienting. It's an easy light to mount to any rail and it's aircraft aluminium design is solid. Some may not like the "shiny chrome ring" on the cap, but I hardly think it will give your position away or matter when your shining 630 lumens. I looked at a bunch of weapon-lights for my new Glock 30 Gen4, even at the Gl@@k weapon-light and was told by a Gl@@k rep to go with the Streamlight over their light or anyone else's. He even chose it over the pricier Sure#ir@s.
