Very interested in this as a smaller alternative to my X300s.

That's good.
I've mostly stuck to streamlight because of the profile. Tlr7 is very streamline. |

I'd be more interested in an 18350 with dual fuel capability. Similar to Modlite's up coming pistol light. Don't come at me complaining about lack of momentary.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Middlelength: After letting Streamlight sell thousands and thousands of TL7s? Surefire seems to have some die hard fans, or at least those that know the name and reputation. I have a TLR-7 Sub on a 48 MOS, but different variations of X300s on all my other handguns. |

The original PL350 is too long for a Safariland holster without using the Portal X. I never understood the gnashing of teeth over the lack of a momentary switch on a handgun light. Never used that function in a professional capacity and never will. Rifle is a different use case all together. |

Never used that function in a professional capacity and never will. Rifle is a different use case all together. I'm very interested in the upcoming 350c. It'll be shorter than an X300T and negligibly wider than the pistol it's mounted on. I'm just waiting to see what the candela sacrifice is going to be. If SF comes out with something similar in the near future that can also run a 123a (obviously with a reduction in output and runtime) I'll be even more interested. But yeah, even before I got proper low light training (on my own dime. Thanks LE agencies for not providing adequate training) I figured out on my own that it makes little sense over constant on. My biggest gripe with the TLR-1 HL I've been mandated to use for years is that the switch is backwards for right-handed shooters. |

Tell them to make an 18650 ECL2-T while they’re at it.

I get what you're saying, but the 2-DFT is intended to be the replacement for the 2-T. I personally never liked the gas pedal but I understand why so many people prefer it and SF should find a way to make it an option. |

Streamlight is dropping the 1,000 lumen TLR-7 HL-X before long so we’ll see how this pans out. I’d prefer switching like the X300U so I’ll wait patiently. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bklyn_Irish: I am intrigued. 22k candela isn't the be-all, end-all of pistol WMLs but it sure beats 5k in almost the same form factor. It looks like you might be able to mod a kydex holster to fit since the body looks the same minus the longer bezel. |

Modlite : 876 lumens / 18k candela vs Streamlight : 1,000 lumens and 22k candela so Streamlight has better specs. ETA: The Modlite does use a "better" (more universal) battery and I like the switch style better. Now to see what Surefire does... |
