Will this mean the TRL-8 will be a single 123 battery 500 lumen with a green Lazer? Please?!

Need this

The TLR-4 looks goofy hanging off the front of my MP9c but it works good, the TLR-8 looks like it would be a much better solution.

Found both at Botach at a lower price. (still not in-stock, this is just for a price reference)

TLR-7 $121.00

TLR-8 $195

Agreed, I was only planning on getting a TLR-7 but for that price i'm in for a TLR-8 also.

I'm impatiently waiting for them to hit Amazon

@Kates

This video has it on the P30 which has roughly the same rail space.  The HK45c just has a different profile trigger guard.

Thanks!  I know the shape of the 45c trigger guard is the reason some otherwise great lights don't fit on it, so hopefully you're right in the fact that it works on a P30 is a good sign.

Crenulated = serated, crenelated = notched.  Both are better than granulated which was probably an auto correct in the first place.

Well that confirms the street price will be ~$120

Really wish someone would take pre-orders. They are supposed to start shipping in February, which starts tomorrow...

Unless someone gives me a good reason, I'm going to order one today.

ETA: Google shows they are pretty damn dishonest. I gather from the reviews that they don't have these in stock and likely won't ship them for a while.

That is the assumed risk I am taking. If amazon, brownells, cabelas, etc. list them as "in stock" before mine ships from botach, im cancelling with them and going with one of those.

That being said, I've placed 11 orders with Botach since 2012, and they have never missed or had a serious delay in shipping. Ive never ordered something "brand new" from them though.

I ordered from Botach today. Must have been right before they jumped their price up a few bucks. But I’m hoping for the best since I called them and spoke to someone to verify they had hem in stock so unless he fed me a line of shit, we should be solid.

Streamlight is good in my book.

My laser in old TLR-2 died. Light worked, but no beams. I did the online warranty form. Sent it in. Less than a week and I had shipping notification that it was on its way back. Recieved with new laser module. Cost for repairs- $0.00. My wife was so impressed that she said we'll be buying more lights from them. That is all.

Looks like a nice setup. Any idea how long the run time is? 500 lumens on 1 CR123 usually wouldn't amount to much full output run time. But its been a while since I've owned a TLR

Shoot with it As a test.   In the dark after firing a shot the smoke will create a wall for the light to reflect off.  It’s similar to driving in the fog with bright lights.  Your visibility may be limited more then helped by too much light.

ETA:  Sorry, I was thinking this was on a rifle looking through glass, disregard.

500 is pushing it for me.  Wake up in the middle of the night and try turning on your nightstand weapon light.  Beige/white colored walls will blind you with 500 lumens.

No it won't. You just need more training and not actively trying to get light bounce to gain your confirmation bias.

Because they have screwed over people as far back as 1999 (when I first heard of them on glocktalk).

Let you order stuff that is not only out of stock, they had no clue when/if it would be in stock.

Some people have had issues. They post about it constantly. As a result a lot of people are afraid to order from them. I am one of those that has never had an issue. The people who never have issues don't post about it. So there you go.

Still, its wise to be careful and make sure they actually have the item prior to ordering.
