tlr1hl is a fine handgun light. the difference between it and the surefire x300 are negligible. ignore the aaron cowan fagbags

The TLR 7 looked more compact, but okay

It sHOULD fit in my holster no problem

I haven’t had an opportunity to use one of the tlr1s but my x300u is a great wml, it’s phenomenally bright

Yeah, 1000 lumens is up there

I have never had the practice or exposure to clearing at close quarters using a white light and was wondering about how much of a disadvantage it would be to constantly have a light too bright and blinding yourself (and of course, the enemy) every time you turn it on. Is that a thing?

Not if you’re not an idiot

Very knowledge. Such wise. Wow

Just don’t blast the light at a mirror or a wall that’s 2 feet in front of you

Is it really that hard?

It is when I have never done it

You don't know what you don't know

🤷

Well figure it the fuck out

@TemplarActual TLR1HL is the only way to go

I saw it is only 200 lumens short of the surefire so I agree

It's just longer and I hope it is compatible with the holster

It's not about the lumens 😏

It's about the motion of the ocean

Wait what

@TemplarActual you have to be retarded to think its a good idea to flash your light at a mirror while 2ft away

Who said I thought that?

Blinding myself = killing adjusted vision for darker conditions with my tac light

It's why red lights are used in military conditions to maintain natural night vision

so it's counter intuitive with the training I was brainwashed with about "nO wHiTe LiGhT"

So I assume there is a proper way to use it

All of the weapons lights will kill your adjusted vision

If it's bright enough to be useful on a gun, it will kill your adjusted vision regardless if it's 200 lumens, 500, or 1000

Given So how do you best compensate for this disadvantage?

There has to be proper form to its use

cause if you leave it on, they will know you're coming down the hall from the light

if you flash it on and off, you can disorient yourself.

There has to be a proper form of use

technique

I mean you still need it to be on to identify things

So you just accept the drawbacks

shoot first, identify later

Just shoot everyone

Ez

You turn the light on and then go to town, if you can’t see in the dark after shining it they damn sure can’t see in the dark after having it shone in their eyeballs
