Bro you scared the crap outta me. I thought you got hosed for a second 😂.

[@stillnupey02]

I was gonna say...where you find that light for $250. And that's the rub...the price makes the streetlight hard to beat...plus the color options are better bc they have a tan and a brown.

[@jthorny848]

The surefire looks like the flashlight they give you in horror games, all beam no flood

[@jeremysmith5473]

I wait until holidays and companies have sales. I got the surefire x300 turbo for $219 and a Streamlight tlr1 HL for $107. I never buy weapon lights or anything like that unless it's a holiday sale and it has a percentage off.

[@alphasheepdog9683]

TLR1 HL for 6 years now, no regrets. Perfect for a service pistol. Maybe in a rural area the x300 might be a little more appealing but even then, that would be a matter of using the pistol to get to the rifle. TLR1 HL gets it done, period.

[@chrisbeard9113]

That sure fire is about 2 and a half man-inches longer than the streamlight

[@texasproud975]

Streamlight all day long, better prices, surefire is just way overpriced. I own several streamlight products and have had no issues.

[@aaronyojimbo1753]

Sure fire, don’t toggle, push forward.

[@jeffroalpha700]

People have a really hard time reading instructions. Surefire has always done the momentary push, toggle for constant on. Everyone then gets upset when they cannot use a momentary mode when trying to toggle it. This was by design so you wouldn’t accidentally activate a constant on function in a high stress situation. I also run mine with the DG switch. StreamLight also offers pressure switch for theirs, but it is stiffer and more difficult to operate. One thing that got overlooked, mainly for duty use, is the fact that the new Turbo model will allow you to punch through a windshield and still clearly see the occupants of a vehicle (even if they have their headlights on glaring in your face). The X300 Ultra and the TLR won’t accomplish that nearly as well.

[@spektr540hemi]

For bedside/coffee table I have TLRs/Olights... Duty/Field use I go Streamlight... I regards to the lights mantioned in this video.

[@robertvogel8672]

Streamtlight all day, I can buy three for the cost of the surefire and I would rather have the flood, if you need to worry about a 100 yards out then you should be using a long gun

[@frankfranklin3365]

On a pistol I highly doubt we’re going out to 500m. I mean it definitely don’t hurt anything but it’s nothing I’m worried about. I do like how the streamlight throws out light horizontally more than the sure fire. With a pistol I want as much of the immediate area I’m aiming at lit up as much as possible. For me I’m going stream light but I’d for sure take either one.

[@justintanner3534]

this may be an unpopular opinion, but if were talking the 1000 lumen x300 vs the tlr1 hl, the tlr1 hl wins 100% of the time. the construction and material on both are rock solid, but in my opinion, the switches on the streamlight are better, and it drives me absolutely nuts that the x300 goes beyond the muzzle on almost all guns, and the tlr1 hl is usually flush. its an aesthetic thing more than a functional thing, but it still makes my eye twitch.

[@glock1inthetop45]

I think it looks better before I used to line flush smaller weapon lights but Lowkey Tlr1 gives it a good look x300 does stick out a shit load tho

[@shaneme3]

The light being in front means your not gonna get carbon all over the light and if you have to press the gun into someone or something it won't go out of battery. *But* you have to carry that thang. And the x300 huuge

[@MrDucatiV4]

TLR-1 HL are selling for $130-150 online everywhere. Even Amazon has it. Price to performance, they are much better than the x300!

[@darkspirits2574]

I bought my surefire for $280 on amazon. Streamlight is going for 150. My main purpose with the surefire is to blind the opponent. I plan to use it on my edc. The stream light is great overall light. The lummens, candela, and flood are amazing. I use this light for my nightstand firearm.

[@PupsPistols]

Great video 😎👍 thanks for sharing

[@Deathtroll1499]

Have a TLR-1 on one of my sigs and a X300 Ultimate on my other. They are 2 completely different levels of performance but I have to agree that I HATE the switches on the X300, ridiculously tight actuation for no reason, stream light wiped the floor with surefire in that regard

[@SGU.TF-141]

On a pistol stream light all night long!

[@jefftimmerman8192]

SureFires switch is perfect and one of the reasons I love them!!!

[@wcsoblake85]

The only thing I like more about the surefire is that you can use your support hands thumb and push the switch forward for momentary. If Streamlight added that feature it would be nice.

[@Z.cGainz]

The streamlight has momentary?

[@wcsoblake85]

@@Z.cGainz yes it does

[@tylero2112]

Streamlight have served me with a cloud defensive switch for years. On my rifle. I refuse to spend that much for a pistol light. I mean even if i wanted to I carry a staccato cs so i cant put an x300 on it lol. The tlr7 rocks tbh

[@zunrue1]

You'll spend more on a rifle light than the light that goes on the gun that is most likely to be used in your defense? Real bright lol. That said he misspoke in the video TLR1-HL is $150 not $250

[@bwats4796]

I have both, they are both good lights but I prefer Surefire.

[@dillionclayton2152]

Streamlight tlr 1 hl are great and i own both, but tlr1 will not hold a light to the Turbo after about 75 yards. Yes they are expensive, but its only money...

[@Isaacsbased]

Love my turbo

[@I_know_nothing_always_learning]

Olight needs the step down due to it having an internal battery whereas the Surefire and Streamlight all have technically an external battery that can be removed. The unit as a whole plus the battery will get hot compared to the unit alone in the aforementioned. I will say I still prefer my olight due to the magnetic charging feature and ease of switch.

[@donovanchilton5817]

I’ve never paid more than 150$ for a 1,000 lumen TLR1 in my life. I have five.

[@HarleyWood23]

I will take the S TLR-1HL any day over the Surefire X300 Turbo. If in a fight I would want to know if there were any other targets to worry about who cold take me out while I in a firefight with the primary target. That’s my two cents worth.

[@bradadcock1346]

Where the surefire shines is when you’re in adverse conditions, like say real life, where smoke from your firearm exists, as well as photonic barriers the ability to push that light through those things is critical the TRL will not do it.

[@cartagena91]

Olight is definitely a beginners first light. Just buy something not Chinese
