switched to this light, few months ago. Took it to a SIMS training and I actually had two suspects with weapons in both a dark and descent lit room turn their faces away from the light when I popped it on; I used the old 300 lumen streamlight before and I don't know if I ever had the same circumstance as that, but it impressed me enough and I am very happy with the HL.

Thank you for validating what I have discovered over the last several years, Im running 3 of the HL's on various handguns through out my house and have the protac railmount 2's on two of my long guns. My primary reasoning was that in the fire service, we have been using and abusing streamlights for over 20 years and I have carried them on my body in some form or another into fires, MVAs etc and have never had an issue with them. They are great lights and Im glad to see someone in the industry finally acknowledging that.

Aaron, I've been running the TLR1-HLs on my Glocks 22, 23, 19, Beretta 96, Colt 1911, AR-15 & 870 12ga. For 2-3 years. I ran a TLR1-S prior to those. The only issue I've had is powder burns on the lenses that clean off AMAZINGLY well with baby wipes. I read about a trick to reduce powder burns for exterior daytime training sessions is a light coat of Chap Stick prior to firing. Wipe it off at the end of the day and the powder sticks to the chap stick. NOTE: If you buy from auction site, make sure of what you're getting. Cheap knockoffs are out there and they won't deliver the quality. Thanks Aaron for another worthwhile vid.

Terminal velocity isn't necessarily changed by added weight and more importantly air resistance isn't going to be a factor from a 9ft drop. The added mass however affects the amount of force required to stop the light when hitting the ground and thus adding a higher potential for damage.

The weak point on these lights is the plastic battery cap. I bought one for my father's home defense pistol. It sat in a safe completely unused for a few years. We went shooting together several months ago to test our guns. We shot maybe about 150 rounds through his pistol. And we noticed that somewhere along the line the plastic battery cap snapped in half from 9mm recoil + age. I Googled this issue, and it seems like it's pretty common. Streamlight sent him a new battery cap for free (which was cool since we bought it so long ago), but I personally don't trust these lights anymore.

I have no first-hand experience so I might be wrong, but I've seen people complain about debris fouling up the controls on the TLR-1. It's an issue I'm concerned about and I'm in the market for my first pistol light. Anyway, it's a conceivable failure point even if it isn't true in the case of the TLR-1. Thanks for the great content.
