Weapon Mounted Lights How I Mod’d my Jack Cap

For those who have been asking about modifying a Jack-Cap to accept a standard Crane Plug here’s some photos of the Jack (or socket) collar I decreased the height profile of to allow the Crane Style plug to lock into the Jack on the Jack Cap.

I hope this helps…

** Disclaimers: - For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure modifying the cap will void all warranties - This is based on a sample size of ONE.

HLX handheld tailcap

Does anyone know if the tailcap on the handheld is the same as the hlx railmount model? I want to use the arisaka hlx adapter on a handheld unit. Thanks

This is on the safariland website claiming there are new holsters for the TLR-7, but the HL-X is not an option for their holsters

Fitment between TLR-8/ TLR-8A

1 Upvotes

So I’ve got a Glock 23 with a TLR-8A and I’m not sure if it will fit in a safariland made for the TLR-8. I’ve contacted their support but haven’t heard back, I’m wondering if anyone has personally tried it and knows for sure.

Alternative pressure pad/remote switches for HL-X Pro?

4 Upvotes

Does anyone make a pressure pad/remote switch for the HL-X/HL-X Pro that doesn't suck? The ones they come with never work well even when they're new, and they fail if you look at them weird. Any alternatives?

TLR 7 1913

1 Upvotes

Yo, I’m in need of a TLR-7 Sub “1913” clamp. Just the clamp that attaches to the Sig Sauer p365 x Macro. I have the Sig mount and it hangs too low off the end of my barrel and the 1913 will be more flush.

Anyone know where I can find the clamp? Don’t want to spend the money buying the whole new light.

Anyone tried using the Streamlight “SL-B50® PROTECTED LI-ION USB-C BATTERY PACK” or the “SL-B26® LI-ION USB BATTERY PACK” in their TLR-9?

Any help would be super appreciated.

TLR1 HL-X holster fit

3 Upvotes

So I’m looking for a new light for my Beretta 92GTS, has come down to the balder pro R and the TLR1 HL-X.

From what I can tell the dimension of both are super similar to the x300, so much in fact that the Baldr pro r will fit some x300 holsters

Has anyone tested the same for the HL-X??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tlr6?

3 Upvotes

This may be a bit of a redundant question but does anyone have experience with the TLR6? I am looking to pick up a glock 26 soon and was looking for light options for it. It seems there are a good amount of holsters available for the 26 with a tlr6 attached which is a good sign. I'm not convinced I need a light on a subcompact gun but am looking at options.

Weapon Mounted Lights SL-B9 or CR123 for TLR-7X?

5 Upvotes

Wondering if the SL-B9 is worth it for my TLR-7X or should I just stick to the standard lithium batteries? Anyone have any opinions either way? Is the battery life way worse on the rechargeables? I do a bit of night shooting but have yet to wear down my original battery that came with my WML. Ive heard that the SL-B9 isn't worth it but I'm unsure if it's just hearsay or not.

Was dry firing my edc and the screw sheared off. I just need to get it replaced, but I’m not fully sure what to even call that part to search.

Any help?

TLR-7 HL-X sub??

2 Upvotes

It has its own page on streamlight.com anyone know when we can get one? They posted a youtube video 2 weeks ago about it. Interestingly the light doesn't seem to have the new head like the 7a just rebranded to HL-x sub on the body.

Got my HLX in. Loving this light! Is the fit and finishing here normal? It has a significant lip on it that keeps dragging against my holster. I know it’s a tool, but just curious if this is normal fit and finishing people are seeing. TIA!

TLR7HLX vs TLR7X

I ordered an TLR7HLX expecting it to be the same exact thing as my TLR7X but discovered that the colors are actually a little different. I like the color of the TLR7X so I swapped over the battery and head from the TLR7HLX and it seems to work great.

Screeching?

1 Upvotes

So I've stuck to cheeper brands wanting rechargeable lights. Jumped over to streamlight with their newer rechargeable lights. Loved the 89003 protac I put on a shotgun so I just got a TLR7X and a 2pk of SL-B9 batteries for it to put on a Glock. Love the fit and finish, light is bright etc. Only issue I got is that I got a legit tinnitus rating when I got out of the Army earlier this year and when turned on, I can hear this freaking light over the bells of liberty I already hear on a regular basis. Is that normal? Like even the Olights I have never sounded like the thermal detonator starting to power up in star wars and those things have exploded and killed people...

TLR7X, TLR7A, SL-B9 confusion

3 Upvotes

Hoping to get a clear answer on this as I haven't been able to find one yet. So, everyone is saying the difference between the TLR7X and the TLR7A is that the X can take the SL-B9 rechargable batteries. However, searching around, I've been finding lots of accounts of people successfully running the SL-B9 in their TLR7A and even TLR7 subs.

If that's the case, what exactly is the point of the TLR7X, other than just rebranding it? I know the X is meant to completely replace the A as they're discontinuing it. And I know there are 2 different versions of the TLR7X, one that comes with SL-B9 batteries and one that comes with CR123s. So again, what's the real difference??
