USPc tac. light - XTI ???
does anyone know of a good tactical pistol light that wont break the bank...
I have a USP compact if that helps any. I understand that i would have to purchase an adapter to mount normal lights (HK is so ridiculous, but I love my USP), but if that would be cheaper than an HK-brand light made specifically for the USP compact which $200+, I would be willing to do it that way.Last edited by jachrist; March 11th, 2009 at 10:11 PM.

Re: good pistol light???
This is the one I have, and it is a great light.
Stream Light TLR-1

Here is the adapter I just ordered for my USP full size, and compact. (made for both compact and full size)

With the both of these, you are well under $200
Here is a pic of my HK P30 with the TLR-1 on it
Because I use it for a nightstand gun, I have a green filter cap over it, so it is easier on the eyes in the middle of the night.
The light it gives off, is very bright. I even bought one for my AR.

Streamlight TLR-1. 85 lumens. Luxeon LED. Runs 2+hours on 2 123 batteries (which are CHEAP in bulk). Got mine for $80 including shipping. Put a little rem oil on the lens before you fire your sidearm w the light attached. Easier to clean up afterwards. Light doesn't throw off the balance of my G19 much at all.
Light also attaches to my rail system on my AR w the same Glock adapter.
Definite recommendation. Good product.Check my feedback: https://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=42671

Re: good pistol light???
Personally I have seen the streamlights and wasn't too impressed on what they had to offer. I didnt need a laser i just wanted a good bright light and I ended up getting two of these. I have had them for about 7 months and they are great and super bright. The strobe feature is good for blinding your enemy and not letting their eyes focus on you in the darkness.

Re: good pistol light???
The new Streamlight TLR-1 is actually an LED bulb (C4 LED) which is more shock resistant and brighter (125 Lumens) vs. the old Luxeon bulb TLR-1.
I recently bought one from Midway USA on sale for $94 though now it is back to $99. Good deal for a fantastic light. The quality and construction of this light must be seen to be believed.

One more suggestion, you can buy a cheap Butler Creek flip down scope cover (Size 02A) or any other 30MM cover to protect the lens from dust/dirt etc.So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause.

Re: good pistol light???
Same boat, I had to buy a rail adapter for my USP tact .45
Really wanted the HK laser/light unit but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, do think I will be getting the TLR-2 OR the Surefire equivalent.

Re: good pistol light???
I think I am going to go with the XTI procyon and a KZ rail adapter.
I can't resist the "coolness" of having a strobe feature.
Is anyone having trouble with the XTI being too loose on the rail though? HAve heard rumors and want to confirm if true.
Thanks
