UPDATE: Streamlight has clarified that the HPL Face Cap described here will not be available separately and the swap is not supported. If you're thinking you want more lumens or candela in the TLR-7 form factor, then you should check out the TLR-7 HL-X: ruclips.net/video/Ne7pnWf-iKk/видео.html
I think companies are dropping the ball by not offering high candela lights for the micro nines. More candela and more ammo capacity could be a game changer for those, basically a CCW duty gun.
Saw that did you? I'm looking at carrying that pistol once I get sufficient number of rounds through it. For a few reasons, I'm liking DA/SA pistols or even DAO (think LEM) these days.
@@WerkzHolsters Really a great gun, and Beretta's factory triggers are very nice! For AIWB carry, there's added safety margin with a double action, hammer fired pistol versus striker guns.
I went back to a TLR-HL from a TLR-9 because of the candela. If they offered this as an option I’d consider going back. I liked to easy of holster draw and re-holster of the TLR-9 and the move away from a rocker switch which is more prone to white light A.D.s
I was looking into the TLR-7X when Streamlight announced the TLR-7HLX. Guess I'll definitely be waiting to see if the cap comes out by itself, and reuse the TLR-7A I got sitting around waiting for the 19x I keep telling myself to pick up.
Great angle coming from a holster company, as it is always frustrating keeping up with both weapon upgrades and quality holsters, without breaking out the Dremel.
This is a great upgrade, hopefully the stand alone part will be available soon. I've got a TLR-9 that could use it. Same TLR9 needs to go back to Streamlight though, because it turns off during dry fire and doesn't want to come back on all the time.
Thanks for the info. It’s hard to view Streamlight as competition to Modlite (price is the obvious advantage for streamlight). But if I could make my TLR7 better I would probably do it.
Please offer a holster for this setup for us left handed folks! Curious though as I noticed you offer this for right handed people… how the retention on the holster designed for this cap without the cap on? Could someone run the holster now while waiting to see if the cap becomes available?
We continue to build (nearly) all SKUs in BOTH left and right handed versions. I'm guessing either you looked at the Beretta PX4 SKU (niche within niche) or didn't look at the site at all. We provide extensive support for lefties. Retention for our new HPL holsters works just as well with a regular TLR-7.
Great review Question: Any longer or deeper concealing belt clips for my holster? I have a CZP10S with optic and light I have but rarely carry because of my body type and it riding high and printing. Thanks. (IWB and single wide belt clip)
Why? The Foxtrot2R will still put twice the candela this mod provides over the TLR-7 +HPL and will also put more lumens which helps qith pwripherals...
If the higher output face cap was the same length this would be a no brainer. But I’m not going to put more money into a face cap then have to get a new holster just a waste of money
I'm curious what your guy's thoughts on the tlr-6 hl are. I have one, and it is a huge improvement over the standard 6, and it fits in existing holsters. I think it is the best option for shields and standard Glock 43s and 26s
I think the TLR-6HL is a nice upgrade, providing a lot more output within (as you point out) the same package. The slim profile is quite nice, and allows us to mostly close up the gap around the trigger guard. I don't personally prefer buttons that press inward, but I honestly think the TLR-6 family of lights fills a need in the marketplace quite well.
Tempting, but I just got a Werkz Origin for my Dagger Micro C1 with TLR-7 Sub. I am waiting to see what Olight brings out, because I know they are looking into building a 43X/48MOS compatible light.
We tested the GBeam some time ago in our comparison video and article at www.lowlightdefense.com/it-looks-like-a-tlr-1-but-does-it-perform-like-one/ and I would be open to testing additional products from him.
@@tizben oh well i'm not gonna be considering them anymore anyway since i found out most of their inventory are just rebranded and massively marked up aliexpress lights.
Data is at LowLightDefense.com for both so you can compare for yourself. Additionally, XR1/XR2 video is coming soon. Honestly, I like both. XR has a slight edge on candela, and I think the dual emitter design is cool, but it's expensive. F2R comes with two rechargeable batteries, and is a relative bargain. Availability of the F2R lights is limited... we got some in last week and they sold out over the weekend. I expect more in stock within a couple weeks.
@@WerkzHolsters very much appreciate the quick reply! Trying to find the company who I'm gonna get to make my Mischief machine/FDEZ P365XL sidecar holster and you guys are definitely the front runners!
Ha! TLR-9 holster sales were "poor" when we had them. Didn't justify updating to our new more rigid M6. But if I had sufficient requests I would rethink it. Or if Streamlight came out with a sufficiently compelling upgrade. I will say that the HPL on a TLR-9 is the longest light we have in the shop!

i love how a holster company has the best light reviews ever. I guess if you have to buy the lights anyways to make the holsters it makes sense.
And it looks like they have some professional equipment to test them.
One of the few good holster companies that have a good range of light bearing holsters
One of the best companies that give in depth lighting content.
Thanks much!
Would be very cool of Streamlight to sell them individually.
That said if Cloud would finally put out their pistol light...
One can dream, ha!
I'm already running their legacy body with a 3.0 head, ds00, and unity switch and absolutely love it
@@raidaz7557 on your handgun?

Another RUclipsr that talked to Streamlight at Shot show stated Streamlight was planning on offering the head as an accessory.
Love to see the px4 sneakin in🙌

that's pretty smart guys! very cool.
In the last 7mths I haven't carried with a WML but I like this vid anyways so much depth!
I would upgrade!
Great info! And since I've been running your outstanding M6 Werkz holsters for my pistols, this interests me greatly!

Great to see two comments in a row about the TLR-9.

Would you run this upgrade? What setup should we support? let us know below👇
I'm seeing Streamlight HPL heads on preorder from a bunch of places!

Very interesting. Looking forward to an update thanks.
Thanks for watching!
This is a GREAT upgrade for those who were looking for a WML that sits flush with Glock 17-like pistols
This is a great upgrade, hopefully the stand alone part will be available soon. I've got a TLR-9 that could use it. Same TLR9 needs to go back to Streamlight though, because it turns off during dry fire and doesn't want to come back on all the time.

Good to know hope they’re made available
I'm contacting Streamlight about this.... thanks for the info!
@ 2:13 what break/comp is on the 43x?
Thanks Shan!!
Screw streamlight. I have the HPL cap and it works perfectly on my tlr 7 and tlr 8 they pulled them off the market so yall can buy the entire new unit
Why not just run a TLR-1HL instead?
Solid work, Gents.

Please make a holster for this light and attachment on the Glock 30 😂 pleeeeeeeaaaaase! Lol
Don’t see the tlr 9 which is the long version of the 7A.
Great review

Thanks. (IWB and single wide belt clip)
Well done
Great video. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure.
Could you guys show a Glock 48 MOS with the Streamlight TLR7 Sub with the HPL?
I need three upgrades.
The new pistol light, TLR 7xHL is said to be 11,000 candela.
Only 11,000? Guess I’ll grab the SIG Forxtrot 2R then…
@@Berserkable depending on your pistol, the sig foxtrot is Slightly wider
Source?
@@Berserkableits 22,000 candela and 1,000 lumens idk were he got 11,000 from
Can you make a video of the tl7 sub hl on the g48
Why? The Foxtrot2R will still put twice the candela this mod provides over the TLR-7 +HPL and will also put more lumens which helps qith pwripherals...
I've got 3 of the heads on order as a cop mo candela mo betta
Another great video!!!
At that point im just gonna go tlr1 or surefire turbo 300
If the higher output face cap was the same length this would be a no brainer. But I’m not going to put more money into a face cap then have to get a new holster just a waste of money
How difficult would it be to reform my existing holster for the regular TLR7 to fit the HPL head?
I want one.
I'm guessing this HPL head would also work on the TLR9? (haven't watched the entire video yet)
QUESTION: Will your excellent M6 IWB Holster for the TLR7-Sub HL-X 1913 also work with the standard TLR7-Sub 1913?

I know Goonbeam is working on the TL7 and TLR7sub, but I would like to see Streamlight offer something natively.
Tempting, but I just got a Werkz Origin for my Dagger Micro C1 with TLR-7 Sub. I am waiting to see what Olight brings out, because I know they are looking into building a 43X/48MOS compatible light.
If / when Olight comes out with a solution, we'll have holsters!
Does the SL-B9 battery fit in the old TLR-7A/Sub?
Need a holster for VP9-B with TLR7
I would consider it with sufficient requests. werkz.com/new-holster-notification

Are you going to offer a holster for that light conversion? Thanks for your time. Stay safe and God Bless you and yours.

C'mon, Shan, you can't keep teasing things about the TLR-9 and then not have holsters for the TLR-9! Please make an outlier for the TLR-9.
