Define "a ton". What's the intended use of the pistol? Surefire and Streamlight are awesome platforms that are built like tanks, and have excellent customer services.

 

I’d like to keep it below $125. I’ve been leaning towards the TLR-1 and TLR-7.
Primary use is for in home defense.

 

LAPG has a decent Streamlight - Surefire knock off for about half the price. I have a couple and they work just as well. Its just a basic light, but its really all you need.

They are showing them out of stock right now, but they seem to have them on a regular basis and will email you when they get them in....

I also have Streamlight TLR1's, and TLR1S's, as well as Olights. They work well too, and the Olights are almost too bright for inside use, but great for out in the yard at night.

 

The TLR-7/8 is a very nice platform for the 19X/G45.

 

The TLR7 works well for me.

Esse quam videri

 

 

Olight pl mini 2. Great little light , adjustable back to the trigger guard and only $80.

 

This olight is also brighter than the tlr7sub. The only thing I would be curious about is iwb holster fitment. Any ideas?

 

I use a Streamlight TLR-1 HL on my G45.

 

I use SureFire x300’s or XC1-B’s call me a light snob but I love my SureFire’s

 

Without question, Surefire used to make the best handheld and WML out there.

But several years ago they began outsourcing a large number of components overseas and their overall quality and reliability took a big hit.

While still decent lights, they're not the bomb-proof kit of the mid-80's thru 2008 era.

SF without Paul Kim will never be the same.

Olight Official Online Store: PL-Pro is a kind of rail mounted tactical light, with a lock mode, which allows you to use it more securely. Enjoy fast delivery& best service here

this color combo is FIRE! I take back everything everyone ever said and thought about Olight. This is peak aesthetics. I would leave it mounted even if it broke lol

I have one of those in tan, the controls on that light suck and no doubt will fail under stress...I have the larger Valkyrie and it has much better controls on it...

that being said if I were in the market for a light it would be the streamlight tlr 7

 

I have a TLR-1 that I swap between my G19, and G30SF. I like the light. Looking to get a TLR-6 as well.

If you go the Streamlight TLR-7 or TLR-8 (both outstanding lights which I highly recommend) go with the "A" version of either since it puts the switches out back instead of on the side. They come with 2 different back plates with 2 different style switches to suit your need. Price is pretty similar to the side switch versions.

I have exactly the same set up on my G45 (except I have raised irons installed), this is my go to at night, and goes with me in my lap top bag every day. The light is bright, the laser easy to pick up even in bright light, and the rmr is pretty much perfect for me.

I have streamlights on a few pistols and no problems, I also have the Surefire 400 on a couple with no issues.
I have a surefire 300 on my .22 as well, works very well.

The Streamlight TLR 2HL is even better on my carbines, 1000 lumen, selector switch, easy triggers - I am looking at mounting on one of my full size 1911s next.

The Streamlights are a bit less money, but there has been no issue with quality, functionality or accuracy.

I have never had an issue with my Surefires either.

 

If you aren't carrying it, I would say TLR-1 HL all day. Carry: a newer TLR-7, APLc or wait for the SF XR-1.

I have a TLR 8 with the older switch. While I like the light, I do not care for the switch. The rocker on my TLR-2 green laser or X300 are my strong preference. But for the price, the TLR7/8's are nice, and the size is smaller. I just don't care for the switch. OP, make sure you compare them, as they are different than some of the more expensive options. I don't own the A version that Nagoya10 noted, but the switches are less than ideal on the other version. Not horrible, just way more awkward and less instinctive.

For ease of use, I prefer the TLR1, but if smaller size for carry ease or appearances matter, the TLR 7/8 are nice. I am curious about the Tru-glo light/laser, Olight, Spartan, Inforce, and Viridian, but when it comes down to it, I always seem to go with either SureFire or Streamlight.

 

TLR-7 or 7A.

 

 

Streamlight TLR-7A on mine & I'm happy with it. Holsters aren't to hard to find & it's kinda nice not having to charge it like my Olights.

 

Well I feel the Olight will suffice if its for use locally as a civilian as opposed to operating in Afghanistan where a much better choice would be a Streamlight or better yet, a Surefire.

 

Surefire X300, Streamlight TLR-1, or Modlite PL350.

 

I would say for your budget, get Streamlight for sure. They are great lights and don't break the bank.

Since it is for HD, I would get the TRL-1 TRL-1 Light Amazon.

It has more than enough light, is super tough, and there are lots of holster options if you ever decide to go that route.

I know it is over your budget by 25 bucks, but I would rather save for a couple of weeks to get a much better product than some of the other suggestions here. Just my opinion.

 

I have a TLR-7A on my G45. Like it

 

 

I love my Olight PL Turbo on my G45 MOS, frankly I can´t tell the difference between my Surefire X300 Turbo and this one.
Right now is only $67 on Amazon and you can get it on black or tan (looks more like dark bronze to me) but is a great light for the money, I have fired 6K round thru it and had zero problems with it!
