  • Is the Streamlight TLR-7 X worth the upgrade from the TLR-7A? Shan dives into the data and gives his thoughts on the new compact offering from Streamlight. Now dual fuel, and increased output, this TLR-7X might be the best compact weaponlight on the market.

      Article on LowLightDefense.com, but that is simply taking the RM face cap and putting it on a TLR-7x -- all publicly available stuff. We are waiting for official launch of any TLR-7-HPL products before releasing a video. Stay tuned!

      Am I the only one that couldn’t care less about them upgrading the 7A? It works perfectly fine. It’s plenty bright for a pistol light. I wouldn’t want it any brighter. It has great form factor and the switches are intuitive. We don’t need perpetual upgrades to everything.

    • @Orcus1030
      @Orcus1030 2 месяца назад +1

      @@user-te3qq1rb7u Depends what the 7A is in comparison to. I have a 7A and a Foxtrot 2R, and the output difference is giant. The Streamlight switches are excellent, but it's hard to go back to the 7A after using higher horsepower lights.

    • @Kross8761
      @Kross8761 2 месяца назад

      ​@@user-te3qq1rb7u more candela (and even more lumens) only gives you BETTER capability, there isn't a downside to more performance other than increased battery drain, which I and most people will take ANY day.
      The TLR7 is the bare minimum for a quality light, but doesn't hold a candle (pun intended) to the performance of lights like the Foxtrot2r which has more than double the candela and that should matter to anyone who carries a WML.
      and candela is most greatly affected by the depth and focus of the reflector, and the LED emitter's efficiency so upgrading the TLR7 series isn't hard to do, they're just failing to capitalize on a significant market chunk.

    @tylerreis7627 2 месяца назад +3

    Genuine question here, how much more comfortable is a tlr7 series vs a tlr1 on a g19/g45? For reference, I’m 5’11” 195 and got some thick thighs, tlr1 tends to dig into my thigh, no matter what holster I’ve tried

    • @tylerzorro5902
      @tylerzorro5902 2 месяца назад

      Much more comfortable. Either the 7A or 7X will be better for comfort. I don’t carry appendix with the TLR1 because the light digs into my thigh when driving. Not an issue with the 7A

    Not worth it with the release of the TLR-7 HL which has the same capabilities but 1000 lumens! But unless you want the same footprint for your holsters, then I can see the appeal of the 7X.
