Streamlight TLR-2 Laser Light Combo Review

The laser is the one that needs to be closest to the bore not the light

i was thinking this was another RT show

I heard tlr-2 is all metal is this true?

The only thing holding me back is the little switch on the back.. I wish it was a button or something I can program with the on/off switch..

So just a random question here since you own the TLR-2. I was thinking of getting this for my rifle. Here is my problem, I have top and bottom rail mounts, however I have a scope up top so I can't put a light + a laser on the gun (to my knowledge) as two separate accessories. Can the TLR 2 attach to a rifle? Bare in mind please that I am a novice when it comes to gun accessories. I hunt and know how to handle guns, but I do not know all the ins and outs of these accessories, never needed them.

I want to get this (or a similar product) so I can put it on my bottom rail mount and keep the top clear however I am afraid that it may not fit. If it does fit, I am afraid that it would break from a 223/556 rifle kick.

What do you think? If this is not appropriate for a rifle, do you know of any taclight/laser combo that is good for rifles?

The three position laser switch kinda ruins it for me on the trl-2. I like simplicity and I think a simple 2 position on off switch for the laser would be more practical. Why would they include a laser only selection? If you want the laser only, just don't turn the light switch, right?

I've had the TLR-1 and agree it's a great light, very dependable. Only reason I didn't get the TLR-2 was because I didn't have the money at the time of purchase. $289.00 on Amazon currently.

Do you have any holsters that you find compatible with you rig (Glock22 and TLR-2)?

Can you make a video of you using it outside and in your home in the daytime and at night?  And can you do a video of you shooting with it???????????

Do I need anything else to make this unit work for me…. .such as a so called door to use on my glock 19 9mm compact.

Great information thank you for sharing your knowledge

A buddy of mine has the Veridian X5L and loved it but has trouble with the lens of the laser clouding up, thus affecting the focus.  It may be because the laser is above the light and very close to the end of the barrel.  I tried it right out of the box and loved the green laser but for the cost and the clouding problem, I'm holding off.

viridian x5l or the tlr-2, anyone have a preference? im trying to buy one and im torn between these two

Awesome vid man. Really wanted to see the strobe feature. That's on the tlr2 correct?

Yes TLR 2G

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT ONE FOR MY GLOCK 40,AND YOU HAVE MADE UP MY MIND..TLR-1.

Show the strobe feature.

What holster option do you use if any with the Laser / Light on your handgun? I own a Beretta PX4 Storm in 40 S&W and looking for a light (TLR1) and would like a Holster as well that fit properly, so Im getting ideas. Love to hear your thoughts.

hi whats the size of rhe wrench to adjust the laser i bought a tlr 2 but didnt come with the wrench is there a wrench that i can buy that will be compatible so i can adjust my laser

does streamlight have any GREEN laser lights?

I own a Laserspeed XL-2LLG-SPX looks and functions same. Wondered if they're made by the same manufacturer. Laserspeed has Green laser, claims 205 lumen, retail at $155. Purchased mine on Ebay for a little less. I have several lights and question Lumen claims. From video Streamlight looks very bright. Like to see them side by side. Yours looks very bright and I'm very satisfied with the mine. Own two green lasers both visible day and night. Can't say what it would be like on video.

Right on. You are welcome.

Not sure. SOrry.

Great demo. I got a tlr2 2nd hand and the laser isn't sighted in correctly. No tool provided 2nd hand for adjustment but thanks to you at least I know what I'm looking for.

This light looks like it works very well. I would like to put one on my 92A1. Are the Barska GLX lights comparable?

Thanks very much for your support my friend.

I think its just the camera. The laser shows quite well when the light is on.

Great Vid, sub added for you.

ok i am wondering can you see the laser dot? It may be camera or something else but with the tac light being so bright i cant see the laser nearly at all.

Thinking of going with a tlr-1s for my CZ P-07 duty .40 cal.

Im trying to deicde between the tlr2 or the surefire x300 for my glock 19

its very informative. I'd like to purchase a TLR-2. I don't know how much would it cost me. Thank you man.

Right on. I didn't even know they had TLR-4's yet.

I have a TLR-4 on my five-seven, I wish the thing had strobe but the light is disturbingly intense (very bright). I love it so far.

@pigpaul You are very welcome buddy. Thanks for stopping by.

great video thank you for your review!!!

@MrDaajman – from one who has it YES, THE TLR-2 *DOES* HAVE A STROBE FUNCTION AND YES, YOU CAN SET THE RED DOT SIGHT WHILE IT IS EITHER IN SPOTLIGHT OR SATROBE MODE. All lights can function separately or in conjunction with each other. I just set mine up a few days ago; I know of which I speak. This is DAMN good equipment! Even at $285 (my price) it was worth it; I am a P.I. and if it ever comes down to mne or him, I want to blind him WHILE putting that dot on him. PRICELESS!

@MrDaajman
TLR-2 does not strobe but the TLR-2s does strobe. The TLR-2s is about $15-20 more. Go to opticsplanet. they have great prices and great service.

@MrDaajman I don't think the TLR-2 Strobes.. Cannot remember 100%. The Streamlight website has all of your answers.. 😉
