Hello, folks; I have actually had a TLR-7 mounted to a gen5G17 for several weeks. It has ~2000+ rounds through the weapon/WML system-no real issues. The system was supported by Safariland ALS duty and carry holsters. I’m no Mr. White, but do have a “Dark Pin” from his program as well as trips to GUNSITE, Rogers and Thunder Ranch.
The light was utilized in one home alarm situation and performed well in searching. The “switchology” is acceptable; I’d prefer a grip switch a la Surefire, but one is not available as I understand now.
500 lumens plenty for daily carry for this retired Deputy. Size is ver convenient. I truthfully did not note the “flicker” in use, and don’t consider it an issue.
I’m a bit of a flashlight nerd, carry daily a Surefire hand held (currently “Tactician”) and this WML for the last two months. Before that, an Inforce APLc, which I found acceptable also.
Bottom line, one has to train with lights also. One suggestion I have is to remove the slide, and work the light in your environments. And ALWAYS have a hand held; Clint Smith:”One is none, and two is one”.
Hope this is of assistance
