And here I was, thinking that it was designed that way to help facilitate right-handed reloads (coming from the left side of the magwell).
I'm trying to decide if I'll upgrade my gun with the TLR-1 800 lumen, or the TLR-7. What do you guys think?
Honestly I am seriously underwhelmed with this current almost daily push for more lumens. It screams marketing gimmick to me. I think it’s called product differentiation.
Folks might do well to consider if they need to go from this light to that one for a practical purpose or if they are doing it to say they are the kid who has the newest cool shiny toy. Neither is wrong but awareness is good in life.
If a light works reliably and let’s me see well enough go make good decisions at practical ranges that is sufficient for my purposes. The original TLR-1 I have does that.
As such I find the TLR-7s reduced size much more interesting than a few more lumens.
