Works great… holster options limited - Streamlight TLR-10 G LED Tactical Weapon Light w/Green Laser & Rear Switch Options

Picked up this unit because I wanted a laser option, due to high predator activity around the farm, as a back up for nighttime use. The laser is incredibly bright, as is the light output. If you’re looking for outdoor use at night for predator mitigation. This unit shines. It looks great as its slim and fits perfectly on full size or oversize frames, without overhang. The downside is finding Holsters for it. Best options if you’re going to pistol mount, is to hop on forums that have your type of side arm as the topic, and ask around what others have used. I found two or three brands that can handle it. The paddle switches work far better than the standard rotary switch on the TLR – 1, that design has had lots of problems with accidental turning on inside of bags, and starting heat related problems. The new TLR-1 HLX solves that problem with the paddle switch design that the TLR – 10 has, but holster makers have to catch up to this new HLX design. Works great, looks great, nice and lightweight. Never had a problem.

The one thing I’ve seen as a downside is the laser adjustment requires the smallest, finest allen (hex) wrench that you have. It’s the kind only provided in the original packaging of this unit, or one you may have from another WLM. It’s so small you won’t have it in a standard pocket set kit that might’ve gotten at the hardware store. Be very delicate when inserting the provided Allen ranch, it’s very easy to accidentally shove it in at the wrong angle or break the internal mechanism or strip it. read reviews of people doing just this. The laser adjustment knobs are internal deep inside, and are at 45° angle. If you shove the Allen wrench in perpendicular to the unit, you won’t hit the screw correctly. make those adjustments on a bench with the side arm locked in place so you can really see the laser moving up and down slightly.

Unit has strobe feature, to switch between light laser, or both, you hold one switch, and then depress the other in quick sequence. It’s quite straightforward and easy get used to, the unit remembers the last setting.
