TLR-7 HL-X: Compact Standard

🇺🇸

Great video, as always from WERKZ. Your presentations (and holsters) are always pro quality. Question: will this light clamp onto an HK45Compact? It uses a 1913 picatinny rail.

Make an IWB left hand appendix holster for a Hellcat PRO with this new TLR-7 HL-X and I'll buy two. I have two of your holsters already for Hellcat PRO with a TLR-7 Sub.

EDIT: Make some left hand appendix options for Wather PDP compact 4 inch with a Surefire X300 and this new TLR-7 HL-X and I'll buy those as well.

Great information. I really appreciate videos like this, thank you. I hope they come out with the sub version. I have multiple mounted versions of gas pedal that mount to the sub bodies. Once again, thank you. Stay safe and God Bless.

I like the Foxtrot2R as well, however… I EDC a XTEN Comp, and the Foxtrot2R’s clamping mechanism strips out within two magazines fired! I’m in the process of returning the second Foxtrot2R to Sig for a replacement. Conversely, the Streamlight 7A and TLR-1 HL handles 10mm just fine… and I told this to Sig.

WERK is always ahead of the pack and on top of their game! I'm sold on the TLR-7 HL-X, and I didn't have to buy one to compare to see if it was worth the purchase.

There is no reason to pick any other compact light now.

I'll be ordering one of your P320 holsters with this light

I've been saying for nearly a year now that the TLR1 HL desperately needs to be updated. My Holosun PID Plus outperforms all of my TLR1's, which is sad because I absolutely love them.

I just got the TLR7 HLX and compared it to the X300U, X300T, TLR7a, TLR 1 and TLR1 HL. I'm thoroughly impressed by this light as it's almost as powerful as the TLR1 HL. I love that it takes the rechargeable batteries as well as cr123a batteries.

Even with the cr123a, the TLR7 HLX vastly outperformed the 7a it replaced and was similar to the original TLR1.

I swapped the HLX face cap onto the 7a and saw an improvement so much i pre ordered one for the 7a I'll be putting on my back up edc.

IMO, Modlite missed the mark with the pl350c considering the TLR7 HLX is almost half the cost and seems to perform similar.

Cobray m-12 holster please

Did you do any testing of the HLX with the old tlr7 head? Is that different than the tlr-7x?

Another awesome discussion on weapon lights! I have the excellent Werkz M6 for several pistols, and they are amazing. I was about to order another for my Sig P365 XMacro running a TLR-7Sub along with the Antimatter Wing. But the possibility of that light also getting a HL-X upgrade is VERY exciting!

I'm a simple man: I see a Werkz Holsters video where Shan opens up with a Beretta Px4 Storm, I hit the like button.

I think Streamlight is slowly updating all their older lights with higher output (both lumens and candela) they seem to have started with the rifle lights with the Protac 2.0 and then the HL-X pro (the better of the two lights definitely) and then the rail mount HL and now the TLR7 HL-X, I'd be VERY surprised if we don't see an updated TLR1 HL-X very soon.

Comparing the older protac Railmount HL-X with the pro, they're externally identical (aside from the updated tailcap which is backwards compatible by the way), but the LED emitter has been changed (and it presumably is just a much higher performance LED emitter with not a ton of other changes) they both offer 1000lumens, but the new Pro model has basically double the candela of the older model.

With companies like modlight and surefire (and cloud defensive if they ever release their EPL series of lights) releasing much higher candela pistol lights streamlight has been getting left behind in recent years. I know personally (I have a lot of family members in multiple "local" police departments) many police departments have shed their older TLR1-HL lights in favor of modlite or surefire pistol lights, so I'd bet streamlight has been feeling the loss of sales lately. The only saving grace for streamlight with many departments is that EVERY holster company makes holsters for the TLR1-HL because it has been one of the top "go-to" lights for so long.

A TLR1 HL-X with 1200-1500lm and 35,000+ candela would be a worthy upgrade if it remained at the typical streamlight price point and retained the expected streamlight durability.

Love your content, anytime i see an interesting new weapon light release my first thought is ALWAYS "what do Werkz have to say about this new light?"

Great content as always!

Do you guys offer DCC clips on your holsters? Also are they Phlster Enigma compatible?

I can't wait for the tlr7 sub hlx version! Right now I'm using the tlr7 sub with a hpl cap, and I'm assuming that the output is similar to the regular tlr7a with cap, around 9000 candela. I can tell the improvement.

Sad to not see this compared to the modlite PL350C.

If only y’all made holsters for the vp9sk

Luv you guys, always great information and candela and lumen explanations and you even get me sometimes on new product launches that I might have missed!

Great presentation

I often forget you make holsters for these things. I learn so much about lights

They need to make a TLR-1HL- X l would buy one asap.

Another great and informative video Shan. I am extremely interested in this light but I need the TLR-7 Sub version for the Glock 43X. I know you said you wouldn't be surprised "if" they made an update for the TLR-7 Sub later this year but when I searched Werkz using the Holster Finder If found it already listed the M7 with an option for the TLR-7 Sub HL-X for Glock. Just hedging your bets or a hidden confirmation?

Holster for p365x macro with the tlr7x????

Always great reviews from you guys. Thank you. I'm a brazilian police officer looking for informations, and I always watch your videos for that.
