TLR-1s' go on sale fairly often if you keep an eye out.
Primary arms has them for $99 right now. here That's the 300 lumen model, not the high output HL variant. Honestly, I don't think you can beat them for the price. Buy some $50 light and you're going to wind up replacing it in 6 months anyway because it shit the bed. Besides, you can actually find holsters for these. Some random cheap light - good luck. ETA - if we were talking rifles it's a whole different game, a Surefire G2X handheld in a spare 1" scope ring and you're up and running for 60 bucks. |

I thought TRL1's were the cheap alternative.

There was an OEM LED upgrade (I snagged one) but I do believe they stopped making them. Personally, I like the M-3 mounting system as it's a very quick on and off and secure with no tools whatsoever (including coins). It's what I keep for my carry gun that I run without a light 99% of the time. |

Seriously, OP, the TLR-1 IS the cheaper option (that's readily available). |
