Expert Review Goodbye tlr-4 - Streamlight TLR-8 Tactical C4 LED Weapon Light w/Laser Sight

Acquired a TLR-4 a couple years ago, liked the light but finding a holster was tough and I never liked the light enough to justify having a holster made.

TLR8 is an excellent upgrade. More lumens in a compact package. Finding holsters is easier now too.

While I like the push buttons on the TLR8 more than the TLR6, i still like the paddles on the TLR1 or TLR4 better.

Also, getting a good fit with keys takes some trial/error as well as some fitting. The rear of the unit is a little thick so the light doesn't hug the trigger gaurd like previous models and the included keys all seem to be "picatinny" spec so weaverish/non-pic rails on some of my guns don't fit how I would like. Solved that by trimming edges on one of the keys.

I like that both adjusters for the lasers are on the side now and the lockout feature is excellent as well.

Overall a solid move by Streamlight and definitely a light that I will be carrying.
