| I don't normally like things that attatch to weapons with screws, but how has the TLR1 done for you guys? Anyone have it shoot loose? Do they need periodic re-tightening? I was thinking about getting the new 160L version. |
Yes mine has shot loose. It does require tightening now and then. I had it tightened down with a screw driver and it still came all the way off the rifle once. The bad thing was that I had just camo painted it with krylon so it took me quite a while to find it in the dirt  . Really thought I was out a light there for a little bit.
Minus that I still really like the light. Its compact and bright, and I still have one of the older first gen ones (supposedly only 80 lumens or so not the current 135). I would definitely buy another. There is a thread on the weapons evolution forum where somebody replaced the screw with a larger allen type screw, but I haven't done that. The only thing I would watch for is to make sure you get all of the little rail spacer things when you buy it. When I got mine, it only came with the one for glock. It wouldn't quite lock up right on the picatinny rail. The retailer wanted me to purchase the additional ones. A quick call to streamlight CS fixed that and they sent me the others in the mail. |
