    Last I checked, the available TLR grip switch is terrible due to its grip altering bulk and over-sensitivity to unintentional light activation.

    I tried to click "like" but it didn't work.

    A grip-activated switch with minimal alteration of the grip would be a real plus. Adding other things to the grip on a 9mm Glock does not work well for me.

    How about hands free? Wi-Fi capability? "Alexa! Activate my TLR7! ALEXA!!"

    Moments later..."Alexa...dial 911."

    500 lumens is great.

    I'd settle for a decent rechargeable, but USB charging would work. I've become really spoiled by my rechargeable lights and not having to spend the coin on lithium 123s.

    A USB port is just one more place for water and dirt to get in. IMO, the preferred way would be to give the light a wider range of input voltage (say up to 4.2 volts for a single CR123 cell device) to be able to use a Li-ion rechargeable battery. This would also give the option of either using a primary CR123 cell or the Li-ion.

    I can’t say this light does much for me. Likely an expensive battery that isn’t as widely available as 123s, and it’s so short it won’t act as a stand-off device. I’ll be passing.

    That would be handy. I think the USB port could be done without much issue, but I'd take rechargable cells in a heartbeat however I could get them. Still a little miffed that the dual fuel 1L-1AA won't take 14500 cells (they'll physically fit, but Streamlight said the voltage is a no-go for the circuitry), maybe in the future after they 18650 all the lights they can 14500 some smaller lights.

    FWIW, I use bicycle lights that support USB charging (mini-USB port on the light). If the little rubber cover can keep water, dirt, and mud out while mountain biking at night, I'm sure this won't be a problem for a gun light.

    New Streamlight TLR-7

    If it uses CR2 batteries, the Titanium Innovations brand is available from Battery Junction for about $1/cell. While I would not use these in multi-cell lights, I do use them in single cell lights, including the Foursevens MLR2 lights currently on my and my wife’s keychains. This battery size should not stop anyone from buying this light if they would otherwise want it.

    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    I don't have a Px4CC, but I'm over here casually wondering if this would fit on it. Seems like it would be the first light with decent output that would.
