kinda wild. i would expect their specifications to be insane

No weapon light would have met this criteria 10 years ago. Yet, people used them on duty. 🤷‍♂️

Great video. I wanted to get a TLR7A for duty just to have a smaller holster. More comfortable when sitting in a patrol car. Decided against it when I read more about the lock out feature engaging while in the holster. Agencies issuing the light are experiencing this. I’ll stick with the TLR 1 HL and X300.

Where is the "duty ready" montage??

While I may not disagree with everything you said, let's keep things in perspective. Would more light be better in a number of circumstances? Sure. However, we cannot expect a light to be bright enough to solve all problems either. Sometimes when I experiment clearing indoors, a 1000 lumen light bouncing on things in front of me, or even bouncing off objects I want to see glares too much at times, especially considering that these are types that only has one brightness settings and usually used in situation not calm enough to fiddle wiht brightness settings. I started with an X200, and then switched to X300 soon after it came out. TLR7 has multiple times output compared to those. Sure, X300 Ultra might be twice as bright and even more intense in candela. However, these things tend to keep leap frog. I say there is a fat chance that TLR7 is brighter than about half of X300 models currently on law enforcement officer's guns which those officers purchased many years ago. Not every cops go buy the latest and greatest, and it is not like an old model X300 with not even 200 lumes is better for no other reason that it is a Surefire. But, I don't see anyone urging cops to replace the old X300. Okay, maybe you might. And, it is not always about brightness. I find it not practical to flip down the bad flip up-down switch design of the X300 if I need to shoot one haded with any reasonable degree of ease. While I do appreciate Surefire's reliability and toughness, ergonomic or other area wise, it is a company that is pathetic in terms of innovation. I am not even talking about something mindblowing. Even in simple things like a better switch design, there is very little improvement in anything from them.

As a civilian, my question to an officer or anyone using a light for duty purposes would be, shouldn’t you not be using this light in some of the ways you mentioned. Such as in a nighttime traffic stop. Because then you just pointed your firearm at a potentially innocent person. Shouldn’t the gun only be aimed at someone when a real threat is posed. Therefore a regular flashlight in an opposing hand is the proper method? Asking this question honestly. Not sure what the proper legal use of a weapon light is in these instances

Agree 100% this is a great light for concealed carry. Most if not all my concealed carry guns have this light. LAPD is issuing this light with the FN 509. Don't think it's a duty light at all.

It's because the new approved level 3 holster is only compatible with the tlr 7.

The 7 has a place on my normal work carry gun because it's small and my workplace doesn't let us carry. Any other time the normal pistol comes out with a full size light.

The problem is Safariland, we have HK VP9’s, if we want an optic & a level 3 holster, we have to run the TLR7 or XC1. Safariland needs to make molds for duty lights not micro lights.

I live in a big city, over 10 million people, and a tlr7 for patrol here has doing a great job so far. There's no reason to use something more powerful.

Curious on your thoughts on the sig foxtrot 2. Their electronics department seems to be a new animal these days

My rule: The bigger the gun, the bigger the light. PS. The TLR7 does appear to have diffuser over the LED. If you look at it side by side with a TLR1 you can see what I am talking about. I would be very curious how the light would behave without that. As for CCW purposes, the light is there for more than one reason. Yes it provides you with light to see a target, but it also serves as a way of preventing your pistol from being pressed out of battery. Now when you bump up to the compact 4" pistol you need to consider a TLR1 or TLR1 HL as the TLR7 isn't going to jut out enough. Just a little food for thought. Of course there are pros and cons to everything. If you like the handheld only life then more power to you. At the end of the day it's up to the individual to decide why they want to incorporate somwthing into their system.

The weaponlight is a SureFire X400V-B with an ARES Tactical holster on a Safariland QLS setup.

That’s correct. It is a concealed carry light and that’s why it was made and sold thousands.

I conceal a ported c2 with Holosun EPS MRS and Surefire x300, and ANYTIME I posted a pic of it, I get ‘why do you have a light that’s 2” longer than the muzzle?’ (It’s .9” btw). It doesn’t affect concealability, and I get the capability of a full power duty light with no trade off…

My agency issues the Nighstick copy of the TLR-7 and it is not enough light output. This wouldn’t be such an issue if our holsters weren’t only compatible with TLR-7 footprint lights. Wider weapon lights like the TLR-1 or X300 will not fit. I had to buy a TLR-9 for better output, but it is still nothing compared to an X300.

Lol, it's funny you release this video. I just watched Renfield where I'm pretty sure the female officer has a TL7 on her duty pistol.

I ran a tlr7 for a few years and came to the same conclusion. For EDC I’d rather carry a smaller gun for comfort with no light but have a kick ass handheld and work on shooting with it, and for duty having a higher power wml.

I love the TLR 7 on my company carry guns but anything that goes on the outside of a belt gets a x300

It makes zero sense to neuter a light on a duty gun when the things it does well aren’t a limitation on a duty gun….

It is sobering in your shadow demos that the center of your light "penumbra" tends to center on the thing in the hand - human nature. But that means that the muzzle is pointed before identifying the threat.

It might be now with the updated HL cap

The turbo does not have a lot of flood that demonstration you did really showed me the importance of flood.

When room clearing having to bright of a light can be overwhelming for you and everyone else clearing the room having an negative effect. That's why the surefire rifle lights are great.

my first pistol light was a tlr-1hl along with a knock off one and within 50 yards its hard to tell which is more powerful. I snagged a tlr7a on a pawnshop find recently and immediately was thinking exactly what you have said and shown here.

TLR-7 is an EDC CCW light, not a full size duty light.

No shit, it's a deep concealed carry light. Perfect for that application.

Some duties require concealment above all. In that role the TLR7 is really the only option. We issue both the X300U and TLR7. The TLR for concealed duty use and the X300U for higher profile OWB uses. Additionally we require/teach that a quality handheld be utilized in conjunction with the TLR7 when running the pistol concealed.

Our agency has been issuing the TLR-7A for a while. Prior to that it was the 300 lumen TLR-1. For those that already had the TLR-1 and wanted to swap to the 7A, I'd do a quick demo of how the 300 lumen TLR-1 had more candela and usable lighting despite having less "power." The controls are better, but really only if you're a lefty who hasn't trained to toggle the constant off. I think the best light in TLR7 form factor, right now, is the Sig Foxtrot2. It's the only light id recommend in that form factor despite lack of holster options and sensitive controls.

My agency still Carrie’s the OG tlr1… we’re supposed to be getting the HL, but we move at a snails pace.

Have one on my concealed 43X, only because it’s best available option. TLR 1 or Surefire on all my duty /full size guns.
