Two popular Streamlight Weapon lights head to head in common situations on the street…. These are the two lights I use every day as a police officer.

I have the HLG. In doors I just use the green laser setting (its bright enough that it lights up the entire room at night) and I save the light for outdoors
Great review, that was awesome to see the red/green dot comparison. Seems to me then that the ideal setup would be to have a high/low setting on the high output version. I'd say that it's actually a little shocking that they didn't think of that.
I was contemplating getting the HLG but after this very well done review I'm gonna get the red laser one.
I'm trying to decide between the TLR-2 and TLR-2 HL, do you still have the same opinion that the HL is too much room clearings? The only reason I'd use the laser is for shield work, which is a huge benefit.
That cat! Lol Ooh! 😳 The glowy red bug is back!
Great real world review using different environments
Thanks for this video. Recently purchased a TLR-2 and was kicking myself for not springing for the HL version instead. Now that I see the HL is too much light for indoors I am much happier with my decision. My only application will be home defense.
You bought a new one! But sent the old one in. Lol 😂
Stream light has excellent customer service. I own several. The HL G is my fav.
What holster did you have at work that fits the TLR-2 HLG
great review. was contemplating this model but for a home defense pistol… rethinking now. cheers.
What holster do you use for the tlr2? Few options outside of custom…
Thank you this has been very helpful to me!
Very well presented and articulated!
Would your department allow you to upgrade to the ALS holster from Safariland? I think it’s far superior to their SLS style for several reasons. Retention being the best advantage, obviously. But I noticed you said your firearm wouldn’t fit in your holster without the light. The ALS will hold a firearm without a light, even a light-bearing model.
It seems like the regular one would be just fine or preferred for home defense.
Which duty holster do you use with the TLR-2? I’m love my Safariland ALS holster but can’t find it for that light with my Glock 22
You can use just the laser or flash right? Or are they both always on?
So for home defense the regular ol tlr2 is probably better right?
Blinding yourself with a weapon light indoors is a software issue not a hardware issue. 👍
Which PD let's you use freaking lasers?
Have a safariland holster and I'm thinking about upgrading but want to make sure it will fit my existing holster
Any size difference?
Great real world comparisons, thank you for making my light choice easier to make!
Holy crap over 200 dollars for a pistol flashlight?
Can you do a video about lasers on duty weapons
My TLR 2 is a green laser. Does the unit come either green or red?
Which holster did you go with for the 22/tlr2hlg combo?
Have you ever experienced any malfunctions with the TLR lights on .40 glocks? I've seen a G23 malfunction every two rounds with a TLR light but multiple G22's have functioned flawlessly.
Hello I was wondering if you could do a video of a uncooperative suspect at a traffic stop like what to do if someone wont give you ID or anything like that
get it coming 🤠👌👍
I love the dog coming I for the laser lol
Out of curiosity, seeings the HL is so much brighter, if you had 200$ to put a light without a lazer on an AR for outdoor use would you go with the standard diameter, or the larger diameter such as this http://www.midwayusa.com/product/217451/streamlight-tlr-1-hpl-weapon-light-led-with-2-cr123a-batteries-fits-picatinny-or-glock-style-rails-aluminum-matte ?
How was your interaction with the warranty/customer service?? What kind of time frame from start to finish on the repair return?? Thanks…
You're spot on with the RED vs GREEN laser man, folks see red and they instantly turn to "Oh Shit, I've got a gun pointed at me" mode!
Have you ever used the surefire x300?
