What’s up guys, this is a honest outlaw here and today we’re gonna be reviewing the streamlight tlr-2 flex. Now that is a long name before we do that. I want to thank my page two supporters, I. Do it every video you guys are the reason why the channel still here can’t appreciate you guys as nothing because of that we do all kinds of cool stuff over on the patreon page, I bounce ideas off you, and on top of that you guys get some exclusive access to some of the videos I put up there.

You can only see on there and I also answer all the questions that you have. So if you direct message me and have a gun question, I will answer it as soon as I possibly can TLR 7a is a pretty cool little weapon light design for pistols. You can put it on rifle if you want to learn, I’m sure it would work, especially for a home defense style rifle.

However, it is predominantly designed for pistols and that’s really where it excels. You can see here that I have one on the sig m17 and it fits flush on that we can unscrew it here. That’s how it mounts just be a flathead little serrated wheel there and you can see how it mounts on the Glock as well, make it very flush and very tight.

So if you want to run this for a concealed carry light, it doesn’t take out much space I like that, a lot on top of that it has 500 lumens 140 meter, beam distance, which we did test and I can confirm that 140 hundred 50 yards. You can easily see with this light, which is pretty impressive, 1 5 hour runtime. It runs off a single one, two three, a battery making it relatively easy to find and cheap to purchase to recharge your light.

So you can see the lights in there and all you do is remove the lens bevel. Whatever you want to do, and then I’ll you screw back on trying to cross reddit like an idiot, then all you got to do is Mount it back up to your light or even take it off without even taking the light off the gun, which is pretty cool, yep all right.

So this is that 25 yards I figure. We just start here. You guys can see what it looks like Dule kill ourselves. You can see this one’s the one we’ve been using the most batteries a little bit dead on it and this one’s a little bit brighter. This is that 50 yards everything is still completely visible, which is I, think pretty impressive for a light two and a half ounces about an inch and a half long overall, very bright out of this tiny light.

I’d have no problem engaging any of those targets from here now we are at 80 yards. Everything is still easily visible. Obviously, there’s a little bit more flood in something like a x300 ultra, maybe or even a no light. Valkyrie Pro, both of those lights, are a little bit more powerful than this one. This one’s a little bit smaller though so it’s a trade off and we’ll just see how many pulls down we can see.

You can see one it’s about 40 yards away. Next, one is about over a little over 100 150 about 200 yards I can see the distance in that pole, but not easily I’d, say the hundred and forty meter throw advertised on the website is accurate. Now this is the m9 a3. This is my probably my favorite beretta one of my favorite guns.

Honestly, it looks super cool and on top of that, runs really really nice suppressed and I can run it a long time without cleaning it. As you can see there suppress that it doesn’t have any failures which I like so what we did was we ran this light. Pretty late, I’ve been getting home late lately and I didn’t want to start smack and steel at 10 11 12 1 o’clock in the morning, so we actually shot paper targets with this, but the suppressor on- and nobody knows the wiser.

So it’s a good way to test light, while still feeling like here and call of duty and on top of that, doesn’t wake the neighbors either. So that was really nice. The TL r78 performed, in my opinion, very very impressive. The difference between this and the standard TL r7, if you guys, are wondering the a series B series and the Flex series- is the different switches.

So on this model here this is the one we durability tested and you can see that we have the high switches on there, which is the ones I prefer. The Flex series comes with a back piece here, and all you have to do is take this piece off via these screws and you can put the low mount on if you want I like the high mo and the reason why I like the high mount is because you can use it as a gas pedal which is really cool, and on top of that I’ve seen.

Some people use the the inside of their thumb like that, might want to screw that that wall under the light work and what I’ve been doing, is over-exaggerating thumb because I got the long thumbs and I’ve been pressing with the the bottom crook of my thumb. There and I can use the top portion as a gas pedal and still operate the light with the bottom portion, and that makes it extremely ergonomic.

So this light went from essentially unusable with the standard tail or seven switch. It is, in my opinion, two extremely usable with these switches. This is really well done. They did a couple of things here aside from make it easy to use. They made the press down which I really like I, like that you press down, because it downward force on the light not only helps with that recoil control, but it doesn’t move the gun off target either a lot of times in your press and inward, like a surefire or something like that, you can press the gun a little bit to the right or left depending on what hand you’re using and with this light, you won’t have to worry about that.

So you’ve got a light. That’s two and a half ounces, which is super light, really flush with a gun, and on top of that, it’s pretty bomb proof as well. I did the same testing with this light, as I do with all the other lights, which includes a water test. Kicking it down a gravel road thrown 20 feet in the air a bunch of times, I threw it at pile of bricks.

A few times and I did several shoulder height drops on this light with no problems whatsoever. All right. This is the streamlight tlr-2 fine, throw test to it, throw it up in the air about 20 feet round leg day was today so I’m a little bit sore up. What’s just fine as I expected, shoulder height drop on the concrete and one more right on the bezel that right there is a pallet of bricks, which is good for testing flashlights that works so durability with the stream light doesn’t appear.

That is a question. The nice thing is I’m working with OpticsPlanet now and I got one of these guys from OpticsPlanet and the nice thing about working with OpticsPlanet. Is they allow you guys a discount code? So if you want to get this light, all you got to do is go down in the pin comments. That’s where we got to put it these days, because YouTube gets mad.

If you put stuff like that in the description they can take down. My video cowl over there’s, a good friend of mine, now I met him at shot, show and we’ve been bantering back and forth ever since I like working with OpticsPlanet, because there’s no conflict of interest. If this light sucked I could easily tell you anyone get mad at me, unlike a lot of other companies, which is why I don’t work with very many now, on top of the switches, the light weight, the durability, what you’re gonna have is a throw that goes about 150 meters from a pistol which is more than you’re ever gonna need from a handgun, I assume worst-case scenario: you’re gonna have to be an officer, something like that.

I’m gonna look down a long alleyway, that’s maybe a block long. You should be able to illuminate that entire alleyway with no issue. We were illuminating, all the targets, just fine at a hundred yards, but what you’re gonna get out of this light is you’re gonna get a little bit more flood, then you are throw it see.

I have a little bit wider beam pattern because concealed carry light should I really do especially for pistols, because why not illuminate the whole room? If you can, on top of that, still having that super intense beam that you can defeat somebody with light, if you’re gonna carry a weapon light on your gun, it’s nice to have a high amount of lumens like something like five hundred at least, but you can actually eliminate a lot of threats you’re simply by putting a light on them.

Now they can no longer see you and you can move and shoot in whatever you have to do and having a serious advantage on your side, blinding your opponent and defeating them flight. So I like that, some of the constants light- it’s not all perfect in my opinion, are gonna, be the mounting system. So, while we were out there testing, we didn’t have one of these that I really thought was tight.

Now you have to remember for reviewing purposes we don’t lock tight stuff like this, because I’m taking it off and put it on a whole bunch of different guns. So if you want to make sure this thing doesn’t fall off and you want to keep it on the gun for a long time, I would I would just honestly put a little bit of Loctite on this and make sure doesn’t come off, because we had one of these rattle loose on this gun right here, and it was this light right here and it was very tight when we went out and then throughout the course of shooting it did rattle and fall off.

You could eliminate that one lock that again, but we did the other thing I don’t like about it. Is it’s not QD mounting? Okay, so like take a no light or even the new sure fires, and you can click it right on your gun, no problem, this you have to spin the little dial and then you have to eventually get a little casing or a pocket knife or a screwdriver.

It’s not that big of a deal, but it certainly isn’t easier to take on and off than some of the other products in its price point. This light is around 140 dollars. It is waterproof, it is aluminum and it is very durable and very lightweight. It’s one of the better concealed carry lights. I’ve seen come out in a long time, which is why I wanted to review it for you guys and that’s why I requested it from OpticsPlanet, so overall I think the lights pretty badass, if it wasn’t I, wouldn’t have bought two more already and I think that it’s probably worth the price.

Overall. If you liked this video, please like and subscribe, please up, shelters and remember to recycle I’ll check you later, no lock back on the MDX mags. The staccato c2 is the most accurate compact gun I’ve ever fired on this channel. Maybe it’s just me, but honestly, I fired this better than the Wilson Combat EDC x9 I fired this better than a Glock and I would be anything I’m shocked, extremely impressive shoots it up close.

It’s really really fast at distance. It’s extremely accurate! All thanks to that single action. 1911 style trigger Big Ups to John Browning for creating that guy he gaps. You.

What shaken tactical pianist, Peter Vaughan pan to here? He just bought light for uh one of my pistols. Let’s just say many. This is a PL to Valkyrie, LED weapon light and it’s kind of a traditional shaped style weapon like, but it’s 1200 lumens and you know, I’ve been so impressed with all like products in the past year. That I wanted to check this one out, because I just find them to have really good quality. Cree bulbs, 1200 lumens, looks like it should fit standard, Picatinny rail and let’s go ahead and open it up here and just comes take a look at what we get in this little bad boy and as I’m doing that.

I also tell you that I’ll put a link to everything in the description in case you need to take one of these up because I think you should, especially if you like it, let’s call it a nightstand gun or something you want to be able to see in the dark. Let’s fry it when you’re gonna need it. If you ever do need it well, sealed box here: hands go to my trusty knife: let’s go ahead and unbox it here, and this is what you get caution. It gets hot I always like seeing that, because that means you’ve got a serious LED in there bill two Valkyrie, you can see here kind of cancel, edged lens right.

There flat see, there’s a little bit of a frosted lens over the LED element, and then you have a release here which will tighten it down against the pic rail. You also have a little pop-up bar there, which is gonna fit into one of your tea slots, so you’ll fit it on and then tighten it down here. It’ll slot, all the way back there you’re going to have pull open okay. So this is where we get to the batteries little protective plastic to keep from discharging see what we got in here in terms of batteries.

So we have do not recharge. These are old lights. Three volt 1600, milliamps, cr123a, lithium batteries, so cool for high drain devices, so positive up negative up right there oops it’s already. Turning on see, it’s there’s an there’s, a gasket right around the bottom here, so that should be nice and waterproof see get it’s a lot closed. There we go so you lift that up kind of pulls in this little tab here, I can close it I flipped on that switch, and now it’s locked in place.

Now you have two switches here for activating light, which I already have inadvertently done and I think you just push in on the sides and that activates a light. So you know if your fingers right up here, because you’re searching for your target, you know and scanning great to me and then that suckers bright, dude wow that is really freaking bright and now, if I double tap it No. Okay, so if I click it once quickly, it stays on and again turns off or if I just hold it down and release I just get momentary lights.

So if I tech, quick tap on and both sides activate the same thing so momentary by holding it and a quick tap to turn it on. So that’s great because, especially you know you’re using it for momentary, but then you need to put your finger on your trigger for some reason. Then you can just tap it and you’re gonna still have light so now the question is: how well does this work outside and does that fit a pistol? That’s right right! So I’ve got my HK vp9 here one of my favorite guns.

It is clear, but I don’t owe you that I think and it’s not loaded. So what we have here is Picatinny rail on the front and let’s see if it just works. So if I flip it open here and then basically what you’re gonna try to do is find a slot that a fits in looks like I’d need to go to the very end here, but it’s on there and then I can tighten this down and boom. And it’s on look at that huh tampering with my index finger like that, the lights on and go to my trigger. As you can see, the light is right, where I need it right, yeah that man I’m a precision, shooter and then I can hit it right with my index finger again turn it off and I think it’s right where you needed to be now.

This is a full-size duty, sized pistol, but look at me even with my small hands, I’d be gripping it like this and, as you can see, my index finger falls right on where it needs to so I can hit it no problem. Now, let’s see what the sucker looks like in the dark okay, so it’s pretty dark out here time to sweep the house. Oh look at this. The O light man feel like I’m playing the video game. Dude I could sweep the house here, I’m telling you it’s dark. If I don’t have this sucker on, how am I sweep in the house but whip it on boom? No problems thing works.

Man I’m pretty impressed with that dude. The light is right. Where you need it, you can keep on target man. Huh and I can click it off with my finger right, there pretty awesome I. Think this thing is a window. I am super stoked about it. I’ll tell you what man this thing is. Not only is it doesn’t work great, but it is so high quality. You know you can just feel how high quality is when you you take it out of the box when you’re tapping into you mean even the rubber around a little those toggle switches.

There are just phenomenal and I’m just super stoked. To finally get this. You know: I’ve had some tactical lights in the past, which were of you know, mmm suspect quality, but this old light thing is definitely top notch. I mean so I’m really really pleased with it. You might as well spend a couple bucks and get something that fits right, isn’t going to damage to the gun and obviously works just unbelievably. Well, that’s my opinion on it. Peter van panda out.

Understands that it does not come with a battery. In that said, battery is typically hard to get I purchased one from our local tactical store, but it is in take a simple watch battery from the market. Good little light has lasted me a pretty good long time so far, I’ve had it for a couple of months used it a lot played with it a lot I like the way that it connects to the rail who really really fast so ad. There’s no need for me to keep it on my pistol. I have a Sig Sauer, 2022 and I can put it on my pistol in about one second and I can take it off in about one second, it’s quick on quick off, so I don’t have to leave it on my pistol, good good idea.

Thank you. Quality aluminum didn’t come with a battery, though the only drawback to this is. It has no way to adjust your beam of light. You know you can’t make it tighter or wider.
