I recently purchased my 3rd TLR. I am a peace officer and use my TLR on both my primary weapon as well as my rifle. I believe that the TLR is the single best tactical light available on the market. I recently added the pressure pad that is available with the TLR. I make 2 observations about the pressure pad: 1st - the adaptor only works with the newer models of the TLR. 2nd - in order to install the pressure pad, one must replace the rear door of the TLR with a new door adapted for the pressure pad. Installation of the new door requires that you move the original holding pin on the door latch to the new door latch. This process is not explained in the directions and requires a little bit of effort. In my case I had to find a safety pin in order to push the pin out.
As a standalone unit, the TLR (I have both the TLR1 and TLR2) is intuitive and ergonomically correct.
I highly recommend these units, which are made of quality materials. I have found them to perform well under all conditions.
Pros: Available pressure pad
Cons: Pressure pad does not work with older models
