rel=\"noopener\">Streamlight TLR-4<\/a>. I&#8217;ve had my hands on this excellent laser\/light combo for over a month now and I&#8217;m dying to share my thoughts with you. We&#8217;ll go over the good, the bad (very little bad) and everything you need to know about this excellent gun laser light combination<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-102\" src=\"https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streamlight-tlr4-laser-sight-flashlight.jpg\" alt=\"streamlight tlr-4 is our top laser sight pick for 2015\" width=\"800\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streamlight-tlr4-laser-sight-flashlight.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streamlight-tlr4-laser-sight-flashlight-150x125.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streamlight-tlr4-laser-sight-flashlight-300x250.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_the_Streamlight_TLR-4_69240_for\"><\/span>Who is the Streamlight TLR-4 69240 for?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We think the Streamlight TLR4 is best suited for those people interested in a superior laser sight\/light combination for their home defense pistol, rifle or shotgun.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say that you couldn&#8217;t use the TLR-4 on your carry gun but you&#8217;ll probably need a different holster for it to fit.<\/p>\n<p>This laser sight and light combination would be excellent for use on your AR-15 or home defense shotgun as well. It features a standard picatinny rail so it&#8217;s really easy to attach to almost any weapon with an accessory rail.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It%E2%80%99s_a_Lightweight_and_Compact_Laser_Sight\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a Lightweight and Compact Laser Sight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>My favorite feature of the Streamlight TLR-4 is that it&#8217;s definitely one of the lighter laser\/light combinations out there right now. It weighs in at right about 2.9 ounces. This makes it perfect for attaching to the undermount rail of a Glock, Sig, Walther or any of your favorite pistols.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Momentary_OnOff_Switch_that_is_Ambidextrous\"><\/span>Momentary On\/Off Switch that is Ambidextrous<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ok, next favorite feature: it&#8217;s got a momentary on and off switch that is super easy to use with either hand. That&#8217;s really a great feature if you don&#8217;t want the laser\/light on all the time &#8211; ideal in a home defense situation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tough_Polymer_Construction\"><\/span>Tough Polymer Construction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Streamlight TLR-4&#8217;s body is made of heavy duty polymer to make it lightweight and durable. I don&#8217;t see any reason to go with aluminum or metal here, it&#8217;s very solidly built with no rattles or loose parts when you shake it. It also can take a shake or two at the range, withstanding recoil from 9mm all the way up to .45 caliber rounds without any malfunction for either the light or the laser.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2nzBnhv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get the best price on the Streamlight TLR-4 LED Light and Laser Sight on Amazon &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Features\"><\/span>Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This little laser light for your gun is packed full of features that are really convenient and useful:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Momentary On\/Off Switch<\/li>\n<li>Bright Red Laser and LED Light<\/li>\n<li>Weighs only 2.9 ounces &#8211; super light!<\/li>\n<li>1.5 hrs of battery life from 1 CR2 battery &#8211; that&#8217;s efficient<\/li>\n<li>Fits everything from subcompact to full size handguns plus all shotguns and rifles with standard accessory rails<\/li>\n<li>Polymer construction &#8211; lightweight and durable<\/li>\n<li>Limited Lifetime Warranty from Streamlight if you ever need it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123\" src=\"https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streamlight-tlr4-side-view-laser-light.jpg\" alt=\"streamlight tlr-4 side view\" width=\"800\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streamlight-tlr4-side-view-laser-light.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streamlight-tlr4-side-view-laser-light-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streamlight-tlr4-side-view-laser-light-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reviews_on_the_Streamlight_TLR-4_What_are_People_Saying\"><\/span>Reviews on the Streamlight TLR-4: What are People Saying?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On Amazon, the Streamlight TLR-4 laser light combo has over 700 reviews with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars &#8211; now that&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros\"><\/span>Pros<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Very bright, both the light and red laser<\/li>\n<li>Feels solidly built<\/li>\n<li>People like the different modes, you can choose laser only, light only, laser and light at the same time, constant on or have be turned on with the momentary switch<\/li>\n<li>Reliable<\/li>\n<li>Easy to sight in and adjust<\/li>\n<li>Good fit on the rail<\/li>\n<li>Good groups after installing it<\/li>\n<li>Laser is easy to see in the daylight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons\"><\/span>Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Adjustment screw is a little stiff<\/li>\n<li>Laser adjustment screw can strip if you&#8217;re not careful<\/li>\n<li>On some guns, the light extends a bit past the muzzle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the TLR-4 generally has very good reviews online. Most people that have left negative reviews comment\u00a0that the laser adjustment screw is a bit of a problem because it can easily be stripped if using the wrong tool. This seems like a minor issue for an otherwise great laser light combo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2nzBnhv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See the reviews for yourself and the latest price on the TLR-4 laser sight\/light combo &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Streamlight TLR-4 is an American-made laser sight and light combination that makes a great tactical addition to any gun with a standard accessory rail including <a href=\"\/glock-laser-sights-ultimate-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glock handguns<\/a>, AR-15, tactical shotguns and more.<\/p>\n<p>The Streamlight combines light weight, small form factor and durability in a nice package for your money.
