For safety reasons, make sure you unload the weapon and lock the slide open while you are doing this. You simply unscrew the facecap assembly of the light and remove/replace the CR123A battery and then screw it back on. My EDC has a Vortex Venom Red Dot Sight and the dot was not washed out at all.Ĭhanging the battery on the TLR-7A is quick and simple and can be done while the light is still installed on the weapon. I tested the TLR-7A in a completely dark indoor range and target acquisition was not a problem all the way back to 25 yards.
STREAMLIGHT TLR7A BATTERY HOW TO
Therefore, whatever your personal preference is on how to utilize your light, the TLR-7A will work exactly the same. The new buttons are a lot simpler to use than the rocker switches on the older Streamlights, and there is no having to remember if up or down is the constant on depending which hand you are using. If the button is held in, the light stays on until you release it. The “Low Switch” puts my finger too close to the middle of the trigger guard to activate it, making me move more than I like to when drawing down on a target.Ī quick tap of the switch turns the light on to constant mode, another tap will turn it off. The “High Switch” comes installed on the light and I find this one more natural to where I rest my finger on the frame of the weapon. The TLR-7A come standard with two switch configurations that can be changed based on your shooting style and grip. Both actuator buttons work the light exactly same way, so if you are using a two handed, primary only or support hand only grip, there is no difference in how either actuator button turns the light on or off. Using your master firing grip on the weapon, the on/off buttons are easily accessed with either the trigger finger or support hand thumb. The TLR-7A has a new ambidextrous switch that makes it easier to operate than the traditional TLR-1 rocker switch and the original TLR-7 slide switch. I finally received the TLR-7A from Streamlight and I must say that I am more pleased with it than I was that first day. The sales rep then introduced me to the TLR-7A, a new variation of the TLR-7 that wasn’t due to be released for a few more months.įrom that moment, I knew I had to have one and decided not to purchase the TLR-7, and instead wait for the 7A to come out. I was interested in getting a TLR-7 for my new Glock 19 since the TLR-1s sticks out past the front of the barrel more than my liking. Streamlight makes an excellent Weapon Mounted Light, which is one reason that the TLR-1s is standard issue for my agency of over 300 sworn officers.
Several months ago, I was at a tactical officer’s conference and, like everyone else, was perusing the vendor area and started looking at the Streamlight table. By Kevin Quinn edc, firearms, gear, Glock, Gun, guns, pistol, tactical, tactics
