Quote History Quoted:
the beam pattern isn't "perfect" but only the CPF junkies would care about something so trivial. the TLR is a great light overall but the rocker switch isn't as ambidextrious as other lights. mine are mounted on the end of a 12+ inch rails at 12:00 and i am a right handed shooter. for a righty, you reach up with your thumb and press down on the rocker, very natural. if you are a lefty or shoot ambidextrious alot, you have to lift the rocker UP with your thumb to activate when shooting left handed. it isn't as natural feeling and takes some getting used to. if i were a lefty, i would probably consider a different light. the WML, APL, x300, 6p, fury, scout, etc... would all feel more natural. if you aren't a lefty, i really don't have anything bad to say about it.

All the HL models I've seen had misshaped reflectors and caused bad light patterns, but it's only the HL version that has this problem

I'm not a junkie but the reflector and light pattern are junk on the HL. I was a fan of streamlight until I purchased an HL. I now can appreciate SFs quality over SL and justify the higher cost since SF now has more competitive pricing.
