As an early Christmas gift to myself I purchased a Streamlight TLR-3 Weapon Light.
I got it because I was looking for something that I could actually mount on my XD Sub-Compact .40. At under $100 ( $75 from MidwayUSA ) I couldn't see how I could go wrong.
So here is my inital feedback...
a. 90 lumens is definily enough to disorient a bad guy for a split second if you get it in their eyes, and in dark enough conditions I could see how it might cause a split second blindness.
b. The mount is really secure, and the suggested adapter key ( A ) works perfectly. I'll let it ride on the gun the next time I'm at the range to give a full report on how well it holds up to the shock and vibrations.
c. It extended a little farther past the barrel then I thought it would.
d. NO ONE seems to make a holster for it.
So far I'm pretty happy with my Streamlight, and I think next on my wish list will be a TLR-2 for my XDM.
