TLR-8 = Grand Slam Home Run
This purchase of 2 units were my 5th and 6th TLR-8s. Now all the pistols in my vehicles, home, and workshop are equipped with the same amazing light/laser combos. The TLR-8's compact size and light weight makes them hardly noticeable on full and mid-size pistols (e.g., 1911 Combat Commander, Sig P-226, P-229, etc.). The 500 Lumen light is nicely focused and plenty bright enough for in-door and/or out-door use at practical handgun distances. Several of my pistols wore TLR-2 HL (800 Lumen) units before the TLR-8 was introduced - comparing the illumination against my garage on a moonless Arizona-dessert night at 40 yards, the differences between the two units was negligible. The "lock off" feature (preventing accidental activation) is a welcome addition - I'm sure I'm not the only person to have discovered dead batteries in their TLR-1 or -2 due to the switch being bumped on in a holster, case, or glove-box. I also prefer the new "tap on, tap off" user interface; much easier and more intuitive than the previous rocker switch, All-in-all, StreamLight hit a Grand Slam Home Run with the new TLR-8!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Well made but can be a bit complicated for the average user.
Streamlight has always made a quality product in my experience and the TLR 8 is no exception. Solid mounting, tough case and positive controls are to its advantages. But with this new light/ laser there is a big learning and remembering curve. To get where you want to be whether it be laser, light, or strobe you have to go through a sequence of button pushing to get there, sometimes incorporating both hands to do it. This means moving your shooting grip if you have small hands, not something you want to do after unholstering you firearm. In a stressful situation like a gun fight or a home intrusion this can take valuable seconds to do and if you get confused on the sequence it could take longer. Of course you can set it up the way you want it to begin with and hit the on button but if the conditions change you may need a different setting. And to change the setting makes you cycle through all of them, the whole time each setting is visible and can give away your location. Selecting the strobe can be challenging as you have to double clik the button rapidly, this takes some practice. If you don’t push the button exactly the way it was intended, the strobe wont come on. All in all this is a tough and very compact laser/light, but you will have to take the time to learn and retain the controls and remember cycling the toggles can expose you in a firefight, a time when your adrenaline is flowing and your life is on the line. I could make a suggestion to the company. make One of the two toggles be dedicated on and off. Put a tiny multicolored led on the back of the unit, so you can toggle between the functions without the light/laser coming on until you hit the on/ off switch. This way you don’t blow your cover. As far as value, after reading the manual and box, i see that it was made in a foreign country and assembled here. I would assume the foreign parts are probably From a Asian country were labor is cheap. If the Chinese can make units similar to this for 40.00 to 80.00 then the rest of streamlights cost is name brand. At least the company does employ the US labor force for part of the units build. Cudos to them for that at least. Thats a plus in my book. But finding holsters for Chinese lights on handguns is daunting or impossible. So we pay for the name brand and the most popular that holster makers use. Im in my learning curve using the light and make sure I practice a couple times a day until its burned in my memory, but confining a 500lumen light from being seen and giving away your moment of surprise is impossible. I would hate to get shot while fiddling with controls on your weapon wouldn’t you. I give the new light four out of five due to the complexity of the controls and having to use both hands to cycle the controls. BonedaddyVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

I REALLY LIKE IT !
Finally someone got it right. A compact powerful (500 lumens) weapon light with a built-in laser that doesn't protrude past the muzzle of most handguns with a 4" or longer barrel. It's also narrow and is just barely wider that the pistol itself, making it better for concealed carry. It uses only one battery and it replaces through the front so you don't need to remove the unit to replace the battery so the laser stays zeroed. I do wish the on/off switches were a little longer and a green laser option would be nice. All in all, the is the best laser/light combo I've ever used and it is 100% recommended.

Well thought out design
Came with multiple plates for mounting to get a nice fit for a range or hardware. This is a well thought out touch. Instructions are a bit tiny but, decent enough.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nice Light and Laser!
Great lightweight and small laser/light combo. Light is quite adequate, the laser is bright, and it's easy to use. Seems to be made for a Glock, fits trigger guard lines perfectly. Great deal for $160 or so new!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Compact and powerful
This is compact enough to fit the rail on a 4.5" barrel XDM without risking any muzzle blast effecting the unit. It comes furnished with several keys to allow installation on different pistols. The light is very powerful and switching between light and laser (or both) is easy. Since the battery is replaceable from the front, it eliminates the need to remove the unit for routine maintenance. Hopefully, Streamlight will introduce another version that utilizes a green laser.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
