Streamlight TLR 9: 16650 Rechargeable Pistol WML

[Magsz]

I've been running 16340's in handheld lights for the last six years.

I'm really not sure why this hasn't caught on? It's like its some kind of secret?

I have yet to burn a light up or blow up a single battery.

I had two sets of two 16340's in a rotation in my first light t-max for six years. This light was used and abused on duty. I would charge a set prior to each four day work rotation and run them dead by the end of the fourth day. Each set of batteries had hundreds of charge and discharge cycles on them.

The TLR7 sub can run just fine on a 16340. My X300's run just fine on 16340's.

US Duty Gear is showing compatibility with the TLR-9 for the L2 and L3 duty holsters.

Has anyone mentioned this already?

I'd like to see Streamlight make a similar light that runs on a 18350. Shorten the body and then change the head and reflector for a bit tighter beam and 1k output. Essentially something akin to the Modlite but less expensive.

For size, here's the Modlite with the -9.

I'd guess that Streamlight could tweak the circuitry for duel fuel. A lithium 123 at 500 lumens or whatever and then a 18350 at higher output.

And also make a remote switch option.

There are now 'Paddle Shifters' for the TLR7 / TLR9:

Digging those switches! Wonder how they play with Kydex concealable holsters?

The entire switch area will be blocked out for the light body to pass through so I don't see how there would be any issue.
The biggest issue is that hardly anyone makes an AIWB holster for the TLR9.

It fit's the 7 too.

Yep... I'm aware and have a few of them. But I'd be tempted to try the TLR9 to see how it carries. For now I'll just keep waiting to see if Cloud Defense ever releases their WML.

How are they compared to the factory switches?

Sorry, I just meant I have a few TLR7 's... No idea on these switches yet.
