Surefire X300T vs Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X || #X300 #HLX #TLR7HLX

I use rhe TLR on my TTi and haven’t been disappointed yet

Color me surprised for sure..

The X300U and the PID HC got the best lights out there.

Modlite still better 🥱

Crazy how powerful that tlr7 is for a carry light. Little bit longer with that cap but still good. Def getting one. Surefire has a wild hot spot and throw though

Whats the signt on the tti ?

Most satisfying pet was that x300 switch turn off… it’s so hard on the x300 😅

Streamlight fangirls coping hard in these comments

While I can certainly admit that the Surefire turbo has its use cases, for the distances 90+% of people are likely to encounter (and are competent at shooting at those distances) the TLR7 HLX is (almost) perfect. Great mix of range and spill and a compact form factor allowing IWB holsters to remain slim and comfortable.

for a more overt application like military and law enforcement, or for civilians that want absolute tons of throw, the Surefire makes a ton of sense. For EDC use the TLR7 HLX is going to be way easier to carry comfortably and easily while also giving you tons of capability (especially for its size)

It's roughly the same performance as a TLR1 HL but in a significantly smaller light body.

For the price comparison… Streamlight all day.

Sheesh, your video helped me pull the trigger on the light

My only complaint with the x300 on the TTI Combat is how hard it is to manipulate the light with one hand. The switch is WAY out there.

STREAMLIGHT ALL DAY

I always like the light with a wider throw…the surefire is nice but TLR for me

Turbo forcfull sized guns or duty use. Tlr series for concealed carry off duty on a smaller gun. I love living in a world where i have both.

The way i would use these is the tlr on any carry or home defense pistol on a 4 inch or shorter barrel and the x300t on full size duty guns and/or sbrs. Really want the surefire for my flux raider though.

Great vid. Ordered the tlr

HLX is perfect. Carry mine every day

@delawaretactical7678 does that TLR_7HL-X fit on the TTI combat?? asking because I have a TTI as well

Lol with the streamlight, you can see the whole place

Do you need to buy all new holsters for the new Streamlight?

Does the tlr strobe?

I'll take the spill of the TLR all day long.

To me, as a former LEO, out of these two, Streamlight TLR7-HLX would be my edc and bedside choice, since you’ll usually be on your own when things happen, and under these circumstances, normally your priority is to light up the whole environment, which in these cases, are going to be either a room, or a backyard, or some other places that are similar.
Not to mention that the light itself, it's got a decent amount of spill and throw, takes rechargeable batteries, last but not least, battery swap from the front, that’s a big yes.

Let's talk about X300T a lil bit. Yall already knew the pros, indestructible, got a comparatively weaker spill but a more focused hot spot to TLR7-HLX, which is a good thing, especially when youre in a stand-out with a suspect, usually youre gonna have partners and possibly multiple gun ports point at the same target, now, a more focused beam with a nice spill is really important, as you have to stay target focused, while paying attention to the suspect's action, facial expression, body language and stuff, so to know when or when not to pull the trigger, you definitely dont wanna put holes in a suspect at the wrong time, thats why you need that centered focused beam, yet you also need that spill to light up the surroundings, cuz usually under these circumstances, unlike home defense, youre not supposed to move your gun port away from the target. Okay, and here comes the big con, X300T drains batteries like FAAAST!!!! And you'll have to holster your weapon during the whole battery swap process, i absolutely hated these moments……

I absolutely love my X300T, however, X300T drains battery like Dracula sucking blood from a conjoined twins.
With the releasing of TLR7HLX, Streamlight truly brightened the future of pistol mounted light industry, kinda reminded me of the time Modlite entered the colosseum.

That stream light tlr7xhl is one!

Wow, finally someone puts out a decent comparison of these showing the difference.

I think the sure fire will be a better on target light but you won't have peripheral. That being said if it's just one person they won't be able to look at you with the surefire

Thank you for this

What gun is the HLX mounted on?

Turbo or ultra?

X300 ultra or turbo?

I think I’d rather have a wider light vs a narrow light that’s hot in the center with a longer distance, it is a pistol after all. Now I wanna see how vs the holosun pid. Streamlight killed it with this hopefully the durability holds up like the other tlr

Other than the length of the head, is the HL X the same shape as the tlr7A enough that you wouldn't need a new holster?

I actually like candela, to me the surefire wins, but in spects, the smaller will win, easier to carry, goes to the HL-X

What red dot

Half the price twice the light
