THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I'm a bit disappointed in my TLR-1. It was mounted on a Glock 30. While doing some training, I must have banged it against something. The solid side of the unit that engages the under rail on the dust cover broke. So, it's pretty much nothing but a small, expensive, handheld light at this point. I'm surprised, as I doubt what I was doing was anywhere near what a handgun might endure during any sort of real live engagement.

So, anyone have a suggestion on a stouter replacement.

Did you have it on there really tight? I can't imagine it breaking unless it was already stressed from being tightened down too tight. My G22 fell off a 55 gallon drum onto the ground today at the range, and other than being dirty my TLR-1 is still fine.

pics? ANYTHING can break, and the few times I've seen streamlights break were all sim rounds to the lens, and Streamlight always went out of their way to fix whatever issue was created. I use the shit out of streamlight stuff, both on my weapons and at the fire dept, they make good stuff.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll call Streamlight tomorrow. I guess I should have thought of that.

They'll take care of you. Same thing happened to my TLR-3 and they sent me a brand new one in the box.
