I would like a comparison to a Surefire X200...A and B preferably. Anyonr try this out? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

i own both, i like the surefire switch because of the "push" momentum switch vs the TLR flip momentum switch. The beams are pretty diff x200 with LED is squared and look a bit weird while the TLR is circular and bluer than the X200. i will take pics when i get home from work tonight hopefully, if not then i'll do it tomrorow. |

I've got the TLR1 and 2. Both are great lights. They project a nice circular "hot spot" and a lot of ambient light. I was patroling late shift and stopped about 60 yards from a barn. It gave me enough light to see what I would need to. It's not a 910 but then it doesn't weigh near as much. I use the TLR1 on y Glock and the TLR2 on my M4 with a vert grip. Nice, lite weight combo. Also my other job is selling tavtical equipment and we sell Surefire and Streamlight. So I can compare the 2 side by side. For the price and features I went with the TLR. |

They all have their pros & cons it is simply a matter of what you need & perhaps what your budget will allow. -- SF X200B: Massive amount of flood & white light performance that is superior for close quarters use. Downside is that it will have less throw and is insufficient at ranges exceedng 25-30 yds. -- SF X200A: The X200A has a more focused beam that won't yield near as much flood as the B model but is still sufficient for indoor/close quarter use. Because it is more focused it will push on out to 40-45+ yds. of good clear visibility so it would be better for those in a more rural environment. I also feel the A is better suited for rifle use due to the longer throw. -- SL TLR-1 & 2: Beam performance is incredible, it won't have as much flood as the X200B but it does yield more than the X200A. The throw is where the TLR's really shine (  ), they'll actually exceed 50-60 yds. of good clear visibility and that makes it ideal for handgun & rifle use. The only possible downside is the accessory lineup, there are future offerings that'll be available but Surefire has an extensive lineup of backplates to fit many models & applications.
