Bad switches - Streamlight TLR-7 Tactical Weapon Light

MacTire's Review of Streamlight TLR-7 Tactical Weapon Light
The size and output of the light is great. But the actual utilization of the light is horrible. The switches are hard to press (require lots of force) and are are too far forward which makes it impossible to activate the light unless you have very large or long fingers or the worst thing...by breaking your firing grip to reach the switches. The light is also programed to be momentary on by holding the switch (which is hard to do becuase of the switch placement and force required) and constant with a single push. For the life of me I don't understand why streamlight (and other brands as well) doesn't make it so that momentary on is the primary function, and constant on is activated by a secondary switch or double tap.
Pros:
Size
light output
Cons:
Activation
Bad switch design
Would Recommend:
No
