Checking out the Streetlight TLR-7 weapon light for the Glock 43X MOS and comparing it to the SureFire XSC. The Streetlight TLR-7 really “outshines” the SureFire XSC in our opinion. It’s 500 lumens instead of Surefire’s 350 Lumens. The battery life is 1.5 hours instead of 30 minutes. That’s a big difference! Also, the cost is a HUGE difference. The cost of the Streamlight is about $160 vs the SureFire XSC is $325! That’s a HUGE difference in price. The SureFire XSC comes with a proprietary rechargeable battery. The Streamlight TLR-7 takes a standard CR123A battery.
It became obvious as we were doing the unboxing and doing the comparison that the Streamlight TLR-7 was a much better weapon light for our purposes. The problem now is finding a holster that will work.

Good review ! Personally…i will always go with a lamp that uses an external battery. Love the CR123´s… 10 year shelf life & doesn´t cost much to stock up on a bunch of them.
Lol the stream light clicks part made me laugh! I don’t think those clicks will give away your position quite as well as 500 lumens of white light 😂
Vedder Holsters has an option for the tlr7
Who care if the light make a little click you going to give ur position as soon you turn the light on…….. Great Video!
Tier 1 has them available and comparable to T-Rex if you like your sidecar.
A FLASHLIGHT clicking is what’s going to give away your position…. 🤦🏿♂️
Lol if a click gives away your position but 500 lumens of light doesn’t something strange is going on..
I might be looking in all the wrong places, but it seems like a lot more companies build holsters for the TLR-7 sub than the xsc. Normally I don’t look past surefire but the holster selection led me to look for reviews on the TLR. Thanks for the great informative video, solid content without extra fluff.
How much gap is there around the trigger guard w/ the xsc & trex holster?
What holster did you end up finding mate?! Loved the video
You didn't mention the strobe function for the TLR 7 Sub I have one it's a great little weapon light for sure.
Do anyone know if Streamlights will make a TLR7 sub with a laser anytime soon to fit 48 MOS?
Great Vid. TLR7 Sub is legit for sure! I run it on my 48 MOS and it’s a perfect flush fit and looks great on the pistol.
Tier1Concealed makes holster that will fit for the streamlight
Do you want to sell the xsc?
Very good and informative video thank you sir keep up the good work
I actually ended up hacking up a glock 19 holster Just so I could carry in the waistband with my weapon light on. I'm hoping to order a proper holster after the holidays.
I have the 48 MOS and I love it
I will say the TLR7 sub does fit the G48 little better.
Ah, on the last video regarding this I was confusing the TlR-7 gen 1 and the TLR-7a ! Apparently the difference is just the dimensions, as the tlr7a is slightly shorter but rounder. Same great actuation and specs it seems
What do you think of the TLR-7?? Do you prefer the TLR-7 or the SureFire XSC?
