Streamlight TLR-2 Tactical Laser

<span>The hinges on the battery door are poorly designed (too small to handle the stress on them). This made the product unable to be used. To make matters worse, I can't order a replacement part from Streamlight's website. They require that I send the whole light in for repair. I find this unacceptable! Especially for a faulty part--why am I penalized? I'm sure they know it's a bad part, and as such they should have them available at no charge on their website. It's an inexpensive (probably why it failed) part. I'd think their reputation would be more important than holding me hostage for a $10 part on a $300+ light.</span>

<span>My elevation set screw was stripped out. Stream light fixed it for no charge and sighted it in for me.</span>

<span>It's a streamlight what eles needs to be said? Works perfectly.</span>

<span>If you haven't given Streamlight a try. Do it. Much cheaper than Surefire and similar quality. Great addition for home defense firearm. Have mine mounted to a Springfield Saint AR 15 pistol.</span>

<span>Easy to install and the range is great.</span>

<span>Works</span>

<span>USA made dot/light. A real piece of gear. Easy to mount and use. Holds tight.</span>

<span>Works really well in all modes. Very clear laser. Comes with the Glock SF21 fitting by default. Very easy to set up!</span>

<span>Great product at a super price!!!</span>

<span>Great tool!!</span>

<span>I have 5 of these. Streamlight has a lifetime guarantee. You absolutely nothing to loose by going with a Streamlight product over a higher priced Surefire for example. One of the great things is that if a Streamlight product tears up, you simply find a certified repair center and they will repair or replace it for free. I don't normally recommend one with a laser. But this one was purchased for a neighbor who I was helping build his first AR. Anyway, it goes without saying that any Streamlight is the best, hands down.</span>

<span>Nice system but selector switch can be easily bumped.</span>

<span>very nice product !reasonably priced and arrived sooner than expected!</span>

<span>I have others likes on weapons but this one is excellent. This one is mounted on my 40 cal. H&k. Which made it a pain to find a holster hard to find. Once I located one, I was surprise to find the holster cost as much as the light .</span>

<span>The only negative comment I'll make concerns the manual and it's the reason for not getting a five star rating. They could not have picked a worse size font. Just be sure you read it in bright light and if you wear reading glasses you may need higher value lenses. Magnifying viewers helped me. Best thing to do is download all the various little manuals from the Streamlight website and enlarge the image onscreen.<br><br>Since I bought this for one of my M&P-15s, I'll have no problem with holsters. If you plan on using this with a carry handgun, you need to do some holster research before you buy.<br><br>The laser is as good or better than any of the others I own and the LED is dazzling at living room distances. Quite by accident, my wife can attest to that.<br><br>Replacement batteries are about $3.50 for a pair so keep spares. You do have to take the unit off the gun to change the batteries but that's quick and simple. Be aware, the manual is not very good on this procedure, but then again it's not very good at all.</span>

<span>I've had this light for several years now. Recently, the laser began to work intermittently. I sent it in for service (without the original reciept or box) and Streamlight replaced numerous parts in addition to the laser unit at no cost to me. I'm very impressed and they've won my business.</span>

<span>This product definitely lives up to the Streamlight reputation. It is great for rifles and shot guns, but I found it to be to large for any hand gun I own.</span>

<span>I bought this Streamlight, a pack of 3-volt batteries and a Bushnell Laser Boresighter 4 years ago. Since then I've only used 2 batteries and they weren't really that dim but I wanted to be safe.<br><br>If you're going to possibly (but hopefully not) encounter a bad guy in your home, this tactical light and laser sight is an absolute must-have. The light is very bright so that I doubt if the person you're shining it at would know what's behind that light. With a boresighter sighting-in you know you would be hitting close enough to where that laser dot is shining. I sight my Glock 17 in for 20 feet which is reasonable for home defense. Always verify with paper targets, of course.<br><br>This Streamlight is really solid. I've fired thousands of rounds with the sight attached. After 300 rounds you need to wipe off the lense with a damp cloth. It's easy to remove and re-sight if you need to. It toggles between just laser light, just tactical light or both at once. Something else very useful that wasn't clear when I bought it is that you can temporarily turn on whatever combination of lights you have with your index finger. Or click it the other direction with your finger to make the lights stay on.<br><br>The TLR-2 has been around a while and they don't seem to be in a hurry to "upgrade" it. I hope they don't. It's already perfected in my opinion.</span>

<span>I love this. It's kind of bulky, and I would not use it for concealed carry, but the light is very bright, laser works great. It is perfect for home defense. I keep mine on the nightstand on my pistol. It is easy to reach the switch with your trigger finger. It can be removed and put back on very quickly if you want to take it of to use the weapon at the range without it. I recommended the same one to my brother and he's very happy with his too.</span>

<span>Pricey but after you mount on your piece it looks so damn sexy! Very good product and would recommend. I have on my 40 S&W "Tactical" and it really is a perfect fit, great for home protection too</span>

<span>Very bright and laser goes a long way. Looks and feels great on the Glock 19. Also easy to take off and conceal carry.</span>

<span>I bought this for my Glock and it fit great and works terrific. I have had previous Stream Light products and they were very bright and this is as well. I am going to buy another for my wife's Glock.</span>

<span>I like this, it fits on my S&W M&P 5 perfectly. It is a flashlight/laser all in one with adjustable modes, you can go full flashlight, full laser, or full flashlight/full laser. Dropped it countless times, and didn't even see a scratch. I bought this more than half a year ago, and never changed the battery that came with it yet.</span>

<span>Very good and secure fit on standard 1911 with integral rail. Easy access to on/off switch. Light is very bright especially in dark house. Laser spot easy to see.</span>

<span>I love my family very much! This is why when I purchase anything related to their protection I do extensive research before spending my "hard earned dollars" to it. With this in mind, I wanted a weapon mounted laser/light and began my search in 2005 when I came across the Insight Technologies M^ mounted light/laser for my SIG 229. I loved this piece of equipment until I found out that all the main competitors were trying to "out do" each other concerning the Light brightness as the amount of "Lumens" ruled the night! With this in mind, Surefire which I really liked was just too expensive as you could just purchase another Gun with the amount they were charging. Then there was the one I had from Insight Technologies where I only had one problem with the whole "set-up": The "light" was not bright enough at 85 Lumens. I wanted to make sure to "blind" my attacker. So I came across the Streamlight TLR-2 Light/Laser with the Light at an outsatnding "135 Lumens" AND it was cheaper than the other two competitors! I was in 7th Heaven as I quickly purchased the TLR-2 light and waited for it to arrive at my home. I received the TLR-2 laser/light and read all instructions. I then mounted it to my SIG 229 as it fit perfectly. I then "Zero in" the Red Laser Dot to perfection. The Light section was certainly very bright and thought that when used, many times, you may not have to engage a target because of the brightness! In any event, I always test any new products I have and immediately went to the Gun Range. After 50 rounds of 40SW loads, and I do run "hot loads", the entire unit started to fall off my gun! I was shocked and disappointed as I left the Target Range. So, I came home, cleaned my weapon and inspected the unit. No problems there with the unit, so this time I "tightened" the unit onto my weapon not using my fingers as they "brag" about, but this time I used a screwdriver. It was certainly tight and definitely would not come off this time. I also had to "re-zero" the Laser unit again which I accomplished very carefully. Finally, a few months later, I went back to the Target Range to give my 229 a "workout" with approximately a little over 100 rounds of "hot loads". This time at the Range, the entire unit stayed "put" (Thank God!) as I blazed through over 100 rounds of premium self defense (Corbon 135 grain hollow points and Glaser Safety Slugs) and Hunting/Self-Defense Loads (200 Grain Double Tap Hollow Points at 1100FPS) ammo. Everything seemed to go very well until I went home and cleaned my Gun. Once I got to the Unit, it was still very tight and was pleased. Then I checked the Laser sighting against a Target and found that the Laser lost "Zero" AGAIN! The Laser was pointing "high and right" of the Barrel. After going through the motions of "Re-Zeroing" the Laser, I decided right there, that I just could not honestly trust this unit with my Family's lives. So, I went back to my "Old Friend", the Insight Technologies M6 light/laser. Yes, yes, I know! The light only emits 85 Lumens (Check on Google to find the minimum amount of light to blind the human eye, you would be surprised!) and the Laser is the laser that works excellent. The thing with this M^ is that regardless of what I run through my gun it ALWAYS maintains "Zero". So my Dear Friends, you may have a different experience, but when it comes to my Flesh and Blood, I definitely want the best of everything for them. In this case, the "best of everything" is definitely not the TLR-2....Anybody interested in purchasing a TLR-2 for $150.00 (or best offer), let me know!</span>

Like the TLR-1 this light is as well made and as bright as the more expensive brand but for a lot less money!
The TLR-2 also has the benefit not only of being a bit shorter allowing them to mount on guns with shorter barrels and shorter rails (ie, gun like my Springfield XD45).
But along with being shorter it also has a fully adjustable laser incorporated into it making it twice as handy and making sighting in low lighting much faster and accurate.

The light beam itself is on par with the Surefire weapons lights at about a 2/3 the price and adding the laser makes this a perfect choice for those times you need a weapon after dark (when most crimes occur).

When making that critical decision whether to Shoot or Not Shoot a good light will help you prevent a mistake.
Having the Laser assures that if your choice is to Shoot them your more likely to hit your target on the first shot!

Overall a good light/laser at a good price.

<span>After much shopping around this seemed to be the best price. Even with law enforcement discount. Light works great. Love Streamlight products.</span>

<span>Great light, very bright, laser is on point and will recommend this to all glock fans and any other firearms it might look good on.</span>

<span>Hey Guys,<br> This sweet weapons light it is light and very bright the lazer is nice as well someone stated good luck finding a Holster here you go http://crownholsters.com/....<br>Take care!!</span>

<span>I own two. Had to send both back because of intermittent laser problems but customer service was great. Now I trust them with my life after firing thousands and thousands of rounds with each of them. At first I wished the laser was on top so there was less of an offset between the laser and the barrel but after realizing the flashlight structure protects the laser lens from being covered with powder burns, (after a couple hundred rounds the flashlight will be covered with soot on an average length barrel to the point where light will hardly penetrate) I think it is designed just right.</span>
