Get the Streamlight TLR-1 HL here –
LLOD holsters –
I’ve always been a fan of the TLR-1, even before it reigned as king of the lumens. I love the controls of the Streamlights and the mounting mechanism, and how reliable they are. The Streamlight TLR-1 HL has never been a looker in my books, but it really gets the job done well. Streamlight‘s latest iteration of the TLR-1 certainly packs a punch at 800 lumens, and when size isn’t an issue – it’s my current go-to pistol light of choice.

anyone use this on their AR?
Great review and completely agree about the chrome ring. It’s really ugly and tacky.
Any issues with the light washing out the RMR dot?
All too big ridiculous adds to much weight no need for 800 lumens that rock head gunsngear only pushes products because he gets free stuff or gets paid he's a manufacturer ClownBoy don't pay any attention to his dribble
That is 1 nice ass pistol bro cheers
Can some plz tell me if the tlr 1 lens replacement works on the cause the glass part before the round the that sits before glass part plz help it got shoot out while I was play airsoft
Im loving that color
Last Line Of Defense will this light fit on my Sig P250?
Lol @ "negligent discharge of your light"
Who cares, it's a flashligjt
I came to watch this because I know you are the man that knows his lights. Thank you sir great vid I just got one!
Can you dismount the laser from the light on the TLR-2? Can you tighten the switch down with the hex-screw?
HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE
Dude! did you see the Olight PL mini that they announced at shot show. all metal. about the size of an xc1, and uses the same charger for your s1r baton!
Making any holsters that accommodate the aplc rather than just the standard apl? Like the flush look of the aplc on the glock 19.
Got mine for $116
can I get some info on some holsters for subcompact xd9 ?
I just think I realized you are in Colorado right?
Good vid, thx bro
That is WAY too many lumens, at least for me. I'm way more comfortable with 200-400 for indoors especially, because while yes you can "train around" blinding yourself with a light that bright but why not just have a light that is plenty bright for reasonable distances but won't blind you nearly as bad. The hotspot is way too bright for me too, I like being able to see through the hotspot up close still, which that light didn't seem to allow. Also loved the comparison to other lights, maybe in the future you could also do it in a longer/larger room and/or outside?
how can you be contacted for orders on holsters.
great channel thank you
Future video on apl c?
We are getting new duty weapons g34 with tlr lights… i might throw one of these on there instead if the weaker one they will be getting.. looking forward to other light review
As usual awesome review Mike.
You need a Sig Sauer!
Is the gen.3 and gen.2 Inforce APL have the same size/shape body? Will holsters made for the gen.2 work for the gen.3?
Please keep it up man! Love your channel!
great review as always! Can't wait to see the APLc compared to xc1 and your thoughts on both. Keep up the great reviews.
I've been using this light for a couple of years now. Nice to see people finally realizing it's a decent bit of kit.
How do you like you zev trilo slide? I was looking at that but I am leaning towards the Suarez V3.
tlr 1 hl owner here. cool vid.
give me lumens or give me death!!!!
They also have the WL-X Rail Mount for long guns, and a handheld WL-X, both which put out 1,000 lumens and more importantly have very high candella.
Great review! Always like your videos!!
the surefire xc1 looked weak af in the comparison at 7:45 was the battery low is that how dim it usually is?
Got my HL in not too long ago. Current out of country so I haven't been able to try it yet, but I'm lookin forward to it!
have an hl on my 19 and worth every penny
hey can you please let me know what kind of magazine extension you had on you glock 17 mag
do you only make appendix holsters, or do you make all kinds like iwb holster for carrying other places?
Noice review! Does it carry well, or is it a little much? Mine is currently dedicated to my nightstand G21. I feel like it may be a bit uncomfortable to carry it appendix since it does stick out a bit lower on my G19/30 and I usually carry a light anyway. Not sure if I should pony up for the holster if it make me sterile when I sit…Thanks!
From what I understand, 850 lumens is the point at which your attacker will be blinded. Anything less is just disorienting, but not blinding. But, in a home? Wouldn't you light up the entire room, including yourself? When is too much light, too much?
Looking forward to your comparison of the APLC and XC1
When mentioning lumens in the specs initially or the hotspot later, you failed to capitalize and mention the candela rating. That tells you how far of a throw a light will have. So a 300 lumen light with say 10,000 candela will be a tight spot i.e. throwy beam compared to say a 500 lumen, 3000 candela beam which would be more flood. Educate the public. Lumens isn't all we should be worried about. I'd want higher candela for a rifle for example. Otherwise well done.
One thing to keep in mind with such a bright light (>400 lumens) is that at night if you flick this on and point it against a white wall, you will temporarily blind yourself. Just a training hurdle to keep in mind.
I am looking for a light for my M&P 22 Compact pistol. My TLR 1s does not fit. Anyone know which one I should go with? APLc would be pretty cool, but It seems only for Glock. Maybe TLR 3?
15000 candela is also impressive. I would buy inforce if streamlight didn't exist. surefire is solid as fuck but to pricey for me unfortunately.I'm deciding between bravo and your holsters as my first. I'll end up with both eventually anyway I'm sure. Anyways love your videos and greatly appreciate them.
