Nice unit, but definitely needs instructions! - Streamlight TLR-2 S CR123A 300 Lumens LED Tactical Weapon Flashlight w/ Laser Sight

I received the TLR-2 package recently, which included the TLR-2 combo light/laser and a remote switch. When I opened the package containing the switch, I found two plastic bags which held the switch, a small allen wrench, and some screws and plastic bits. No instructions or illustrations as what to do with the bits. While handling the TLR-2, I realized the plastic bits had something to do with the mount, as I found a similar bit already in place on the underside of the unit. Yep, instructions would have been very helpful.

The TLR-2 itself is a very nice unit - sturdy, well-integrated laser, and bright enough to light up a large room. The laser dot was readily visible if you were looking in the right area, though it wasn't easy to spot in a cluttered room that had some ambient light. The TLR-2 is a heavy unit, and its weight was noticeable when mounted on the forward portion of the hand guard on an AR pistol. I ended up not using the remote switch, as I couldn't mount it in a satisfactory manner without using the provided strip of double-sided tape. There's a tiny hole at each end of the switch, so I suppose a small bolt with a nut and fender washer, passed through a slot in the hand guard, would work for a better mounting solution. Wonder if the provded screws and plastic bits might have something to do with it?

Overall, the TLR-2 unit itself rates four stars. The remote switch kit... two stars.
