Streamlight TLR-1 HL Vs. SureFire X300 Ultra

Stream light is junk.

Streamlight makes good products, but when it comes to pure quality surefire can't be beat. They're number 1 for a reason.

A bigger different…

Thank you so much for your videos! Really helped me make a decision.

Awesome review

TLR-1 HL best value and comparable quality to Surefire. I bought 2 TLR-1 HL for $111 each from Primary Arms. I also use remote pressure switches like DG from Surefire.

Tighten up those groups bro

This makes a great pistol grip, very accurate shots!

I had a TLR-1 HL then bought the surefire x300u-b and in less than a day after using the surefire x300u-b I went back to the TLR-1 HL and sold the surefire

Your voice was driving me crazy. Had to quit watching.

Ive found the tlr-1 hL is to bright for home defense when you light it up inside a closed room you can’t see what your pointing out that’s how bright it is. For outside or for a long gun it would be perfect but for home defense I went with the standard tlr-1 which is 500 lumens I believe

I have owned the surefire x300 for years and can't say enough about the quality. It is very bright and has a really nice focused beam. Worth every penny in my opinion.

I dont need all those lumens close up, and if i need to spot something further put, obvipusly you go with a hand held flash light. Im going with quality to put on my p226.

my left ear enjoyed this video

2:51 – 3:20 ?? What does he mean?

American made > Chinese made

good vid
what do users say about durability – I am just starting to shop for the Streamlight.

those lights are going to take a beating if you practice with the light mounted.
and how about that extra weight forward, does is dampen recoil or move bal forward so that the gun does not feel like it usually does – not as lively and pointable. all that may not make a difference cause you need the light no mater what. Just my thoughts.

Basically, Stream light & Surefire are both top quality lights. Surefire will cost almost double the cost of Stream light and will have a lot less lumens, and will have a bigger footprint on the firearm…it's a no brainer unless your a brand snob.

The TLR-1 HL is simply a better light, even if they were they same price as Surefire. I like the switch on the Streamlight much more.

I prefer the SL over the SF in this application because I'm one of the guys who doesn't like his WML extended an inch past the brake of the muzzle.

Alota more lumens

I just got the Streamlight TLR-1 HL FDE Brown from Opticsplanet,  I used your coupon code man, Thanks.

when the light sticks out like on the surefire it makes the gun much more difficult to conceal and that is a big concern for me as well as many other's, surefire needs to make one for compact size gun's.

Great video.. I learned something I didn't know.. Thanks again Jarhead6!!

I just bought 2 TLR-1's for $160 for both on Amazon

Good review bro!!

love love love my tlr 1 hl in fde! its so bright that if you point the light at a white ceiling it will literally illuminate an entire room! threw it on my m&p m2.0 .40 5" fde and fits, looks great. great review.

There is no excuse for the surefire's price.

For $270, I'd rather have the streamlight, and 125 rounds of very good self defense ammo in my pistol box, than the surefire, and an empty gun in my pistol box

Awesome, I been doing a lot of research on them also myself. The reason I just purchased the Streamlight TLR-1 HL 800 is because it has prove reliability, has more lumens now with the new version, and the profile doesn't stick out so far. I carry appendix and I don't want the light rubbing/poking into my legs when I sit down or walk up stairs, yet the profile is enough to help the gun from getting pushed out of battery in a close contact fight. Jared Reston (google him) used his Glock 22 and the Streamlight TLR-1 when he got in his gunfight, he used the Streamlight to press into the guys head as a stand off from the muzzle and pressed off 3 rounds and it worked fine. Only thing I don't like about the Streamlight is the Strobe feature. I wish that didn't exist.

Great video but I have to say I have both brands of light I think both are great yes one is more expensive Than the other both they will do the job is a matter of how much money you want to put in you're weapon and if you are really going to use it let's be real we are in the civilian world you don't need all that expensive equipment because at the end of the day you're not even going to use it the way it supposed to be use in my personal experience if you're in the military yes I will go with surefire no question about it but if you're a civilian that you going to use it for the house or personal protection i will go whit the streamlight but that's my personal opinion 😎👍🇺🇸

Ordered my HL just waitin for it to come in.

I think Surefire is WAY over priced and over rated. Yeah they were great 10+ years ago when I was in Iraq and used them. I bought the TLR-1 HL brand new on eBay for $123.00 for 800Lumens. I looked everywhere in stores and online comparing prices and value for the money, and every time it was the Streamlight. Brighter and wider beam for identifying if someone has a weapon from their head to their feet, which is very important. I want to see the persons whole body not just their face or torso. I live in the country and this light is awesome!!!!!! Semper Fi

Excellent comparison video thanks for helping me decide I'm going with the stremlight tlr 1 hl

Great video..helped me decide which one to go with and its going to be the Streamlight.

My local gun shop is selling both versions of the SF x300u for $219. For that price difference I'd just save up and get Surefire! Lifetime warranty and proven reliability. I've got 4 lights from them and couldn't be happier!

good video you answered all the questions I had between the 2. thanks!
