Pros: - Incredibly good switches - Good brightness for size Cons: - Needs to "warmup" for half a second before reaching full brightness
The TLR-7 series has long been our go-to compact pistol light. The switches are easily activated without significantly altering your grip, they sit flush with G19-sized handguns, and the output is more than acceptable for standard pistol engagement distances.
The most recent update to the TLR-7 series is the TLR-7 X, which now features compatibility with Streamlight's SL-B9 rechargeable battery (sold separately). This rechargeable option features the same 500 lumen, 5000 candela output with a slightly reduced runtime of 1 hour versus the 1.5 hours you'd get from a CR123. While you get less performance on paper, in the long term, not having to replace relatively expensive batteries is a good trade-off in our book. Even if you aren't interested in the rechargeable capabilities, the TLR-7 X looks and functions identically to the TLR-7A. So, there are no trade-offs from the previous model if you still want to stick with the CR123A batteries.

Bright, easy install, good battery life, ease of use. I’m not well learned weapon light guy but I’d recommend this light to people. I trust it. It hasn’t crapped out on me in these last 4 years. I shoot regularly but not heavily but I think it wouldn’t matter.

Outside of the claw for my holster, I personally feel that this is a great sidecar holster. I really like the material. I purchased two one for my Smith & Wesson 2.0 compact carry comp metal and the other for my Glock 19 X. I also purchased TLR7X lights for them. Shipping is quick & the customer service is great.
