You pretty much get the TLR-6, which is handy-ish on a 42/43 but seems a waste on a 26 when you can get a “varsity roster” light on a 19 or one of the sub lights on a 43X/48.
You think based on the light options, it puts the 19 above the 26? I'm looking for reliability first. I heard the 26 has been more reliable through generations.
The tlr-6HL is also out now, which is quite a bit better (at least, on paper) than the original. 300 lumens, 4250 candela as compared to 500/5k candela from the tlr7 sub.
It puts the light at least in a somewhat competitive position if you’re looking for a light on a gun like a g26.
Ceteris paribus, I think any reliability difference between the two is probably decided by the planetary alignment during production. It boils down to “necessary” features vs “nice to have “ features. But others choose more of a deep dive.
Not to muddy the waters, but a 19 chopped for 26 mags is still a pretty nice option in 2024.
I was considering a chopped 19, but the hump placement is a smidgen higher on the 26. It works a little better for me.
