Streamlight TLR-7A vs. TLR-7X - Should You Upgrade?

[@LordHojo]

Came here to see what I was getting into with the tlr 7x I just bought. Didn't expect to be attacked for actually liking Olight lmao

[@brucecamparmament3728]

Thanks for clearing up the differences between the two.

[@Strawman333]

Never had any issues with streamlight. I have several. No sh#t, none of them have ever failed me. Just my experience.

[@RTTGunsGear]

Same here man! I had a TLR-1 HL lens break once, but that was my fault.

[@justpeachee8964]

One of the few channels I trust for good reviews!

[@RTTGunsGear]

I appreciate it! Thank you!

[@miketaylorID1]

New to the crew! Came over from Chris740 - Streamlight is it for me - besides a couple of SureFire X300 that are just never going to die, I have been running the 7A and TLR1 with rechargeable CR123s for years. Same cells from ARLO web cams - their Overall run time and standby times are less than the disposable counterparts, but i run them in pairs so a set is always G2G. and yes! Olight=Garbage 100% lol Cheers!

[@RTTGunsGear]

Thanks man! And thanks for watching!

[@ninjakiller800]

They are pretty much the same light, but still watch the video so you can see how they compare.

[@levicummins7317]

I want to upgrade to the tlr7 HL-x

[@RTTGunsGear]

That looks like a nice light!

[@levicummins7317]

@@RTTGunsGear see how long it is before they are in stock was waiting to see how the cloud defense EPL was going to be but I think the tlr7 hl will out do anything they bring to the table

[@Rnemhrd]

I would buy one going forward but replace the few 7a I have with one? Hell naa. Batteries are small and light. Odds of recharging in a bad situation or where there is no power is not happening. Battery banks will be saved for communication. Honestly I have passed the rechargeable hype on things like this,

[@RTTGunsGear]

I agree. No need to go out and replace my 7A lights. But the 7X isn't a downgrade either. The TLR-7 HL-X is now out as well. And that thing is a beast with very close to the same size.

[@fil-amphilippines5157]

TYVM as always brother, also note nobody has yet to make a video on the TLR 7X being Taurus TORO G3C compatible. Its not even in the spec manual. Youll be the first one if you make one, and ty for this I'll buy the TLR 7X soon.

[@RTTGunsGear]

@@fil-amphilippines5157 The 7A and 7X fit the same pistols.

[@ChrisFromThe740]

Great Comparison Video Matt

[@eltenda]

Great lights!

[@RTTGunsGear]

Absolutely bro!

Why are there chunks missing from thumbscrew ?

@walterwilliams268 Give me a time mark and I'll look

[@RTTGunsGear]

@walterwilliams268 Oh..lol..That's probably from me trying to use a knife blade to tighten it down. I never seem to have a flat head when I need one.

[@rustyshackleford2723]

Just wondering about these 2....

[@RTTGunsGear]

Looks like I'm just in time then! Lol. Thanks!

[@kswade71]

Awesome video, thanks Matt!

[@RTTGunsGear]

@kylewade2519 thanks bro!

[@GabrielLaney-d3l]

What holster mods would you have to do get the holster for the 7x to fit the 7 hl-x light? I have a WTP OWB holster for the G19/7x and I have the G19/7hl-x?

[@RTTGunsGear]

Get rid of the WTP holsters first. That's the best holster mod you can do. Then go buy a quality holster made for the TLR-7 HLX.

[@devond2675]

Both batteries work in both lights

[@Aeron-m8d]

Did recharge battery on tlr7x work with tlr7a?

[@Criptuhpher]

I’m getting my permit and I’m torn between just a light with the tlr7x or baldr mini with a laser😫

[@RTTGunsGear]

@@Criptuhpher The TLR7 is a better light in basically every way.

[@Criptuhpher]

@@RTTGunsGear yea your video is making me lean towards it!

[@RTTGunsGear]

@Criptuhpher Based off my experience and the classes I teach. Olight by far has the highest failure rate. With the existence of Streamlight, there's never a reason to buy Olight. Just my two cents.

[@justsayin7937]

I dont get it. You can put the same rechargeable battery in both the 7A and the 7X. Makes no sense. May as well get whichever is cheaper.

[@I_heardyoupainthouses]

Tlr7a gets fried from the rechargeable battery

[@justsayin7937]

@@I_heardyoupainthouses ahh makes sense. Thanks for the clarification

[@walterwilliams268]

Very well done 👏🇺🇸✊

[@thinhfan5844]

Is the tlr 7a the same size as the tlr 7x?

[@RTTGunsGear]

@thinhfan5844 all of those details are clearly laid out in the video

[@justusbryant7366]

Man dont be a smart ass if you gona take time to reply just say yes or no smh

[@RTTGunsGear]

@@user-uf3qn5xd9o I put the information in the videos for a reason. Feel free to create your own channel. Put in years of content, thousands of dollars, and untold hours, just for people to NOT watch the video.
