Streamlight TLR-7sub | Best Sub-Compact Pistol Light?

[@CadenMichnal]

Hands-down the best reviews I’ve found on the lights and covering the G 43X and any compact pistol for that matter. It’s about time we got a good KZbin reviewer. Thank you so much

[@WerkzHolsters]

Caden, I'm glad you liked it. This is only the beginning... with our equipment, we can test any lights... pistol, rifle, handheld...

[@flyinryan7340]

Quality holsters, and quality reviews 💪 Some of the best I've found on YT hands down! I appreciate you guys keeping us covered 🤝

[@WerkzHolsters]

Appreciate your feedback and appreciate having customers like you on board! We plan to keep the content coming!

[@andreacevdo707]

You guys deserve a lot more subscribers, your reviews and the over all way you carry yourself and do real test is lacking from a lot of reviews out there! Keep up the good work!

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for the encouragement! We are bringing in more test equipment and will be providing extensive testing for all the lights out there. Stay tuned!

[@osker4738]

I bought the tlr-7 sub for my p320, put it on my hellcat just to see if it fits the rail and there it's going to stay. Luckily I found werkz makes a really nice holster for that combo plus it comes with a hellcat rail piece! Ordered it immediately. Super nice light, werkz is an amazing company and couldn't be happier with my new carry combo.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks much for your endorsement and feedback! I'm glad we could help you optimize your carry!

[@Longrangetargets]

Honest. Straight forward. Actually did the research and made a video to show their thoughts and opinion and how they came to their conclusion...good stuff.

[@WerkzHolsters]

That's exactly what I want for our reviews. Thank you for your feedback!

[@free2befree]

I know people hate on your holsters But I'm here to say that I love my werks holster for concealed carry. 48 mos with the tlr-7 sub is a damn fine combination. I like the fact that when I finally find a 43x mos I won't need to buy another holster.

[@korazjian5251]

You guys hands down make the holster world a better choice for self defense. Kudos! Have 4 holsters from you guys, and I can promise you if you keep making reliable and top notch quality holsters, Ill be a customer for life. 💪

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks so much for your encouraging feedback! Rest assured, our quality and designs will only continue to improve. We have many things in the "Werkz" for you!

[@WerkzHolsters]

We have more weaponlight stuff coming soon... I'm glad you like it!

[@russdennis7026]

I will say the Tlr-6 has a lot of bang for the buck imo. It's not as bright but something that I truly appreciate is how secure the Tlr-6 mounts to the frame. It's never come loose on me not once. I like that. Plus I really like how it fits in your holster and just gives me peace of mind. I've never been a huge lazer fan but now that I have one and have been practicing I can see some night time advantages to this setup. Both are great options but I'm keeping my TLR-6.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for the feedback. The TLR-6 needs an update to keep up with the modern lights. 100 lumens isn't great. But I agree on your fit / finish comments.

[@SeanZAcz]

I was once filming a job in a Kenyan national park, camping with rangers overnight. Middle of the night I needed to go to the toilet so climbed down from the 4x4 tent and walked through the bushes to find a suitable spot. I heard a loud rustle a few meters away from me and in that moment realised the flaw in having a low lumen output torch. I couldn't see past a tree a few meters ahead of me and just beyond that a shadow was moving closer. I didn't wait to find out what it was but that night I did learn a valuable lesson in lamp output. If there's any takeaway I can get from this episode it that although larger in size, when the time comes and you need to see your target, you will kick yourself for not having enough light.

[@jason328d6]

Got my holster ordered, just waiting for the light to be available. Can’t wait to get it all set up and incorporated in to my EDC.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for your business!

[@Highgear145]

I'll definitely be getting this light, great light test 👍

[@ZFerfer]

Love that Datsun 620 pickup dude I used to have a Datsun 240Z

[@WerkzHolsters]

Yeah, that truck is pretty fun isn't it! Love the early Datsuns.

[@ncd7184]

Is there any way to mount this light to a standard Glock 43x that doesn’t have a rail like the mos has?

[@bflaves123]

Just a heads up for those watching. The original glock 43x and 48 with the recover tactical rail attachment work great with the 1913 short rail model of the tlr 7 sub

[@glockmaster9516]

yooo thank you

[@bflaves123]

@matt james the 48mos already has a rail and there is a tlr7 sub made for the mos rail...

[@lentztu]

This is my favorite light testing setup that I"ve seen yet. Nice job

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks much!

[@Panda-ho7ef]

Great test and review. I enjoyed how thorough u were

Okay but that Datsun pickup. One of my dream cars!

[@WerkzHolsters]

Ha! That's my son's, given to him by a friend of the family. Pretty cool patina, right?

[@boomer6611]

Excellent review. I have the TLR6 on the '1st Gen' G43X. It was the only option at the time. I have the G48MOS and I'll for sure drop the TLR7 Sub on that little beast. Thank you.

[@WerkzHolsters]

The TLR-7Sub is pretty cool... it's just as good (or better) than the TLR--7A in a slightly smaller package.

[@mmws.....makingmoneywhiles6181]

Well, my LR6 works fine and brights up my garage and does well

[@h.fenrus2405]

What an amazing review, perhaps there's a streamlight the shopping cart for my Masada.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Glad you liked it! The TLR-7 Sub is an excellent little light. Just as good as the TLR-7A in performance, but slightly smaller.

[@sqlb3rn]

well they convinced me... just ordered a holster for my 43x mos with tlr7 sub. I looked at all the holsters I could find for it, and went with Werkz because of the riser/bump along the muzzle to help tuck the grip, not a bunch of excess kydex around the sides filling up my pants, and because they have the option for two tuckable clips which is my preferred style. The other holsters I looked at did not offer the riser/bump, or two clips, or they looked bulky.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thank you for your comparison feedback. Some of the key design goals for the M6 are: configurable / modular IWB holster, includes features that people want (full sweat shield, minimal bulk), no "hate that" features such as a bump that could be too large, and finally excellent quality fit & finish. I look forward to hearing your feedback after you receive it and run it a bit!

[@lengendaryblackmgmt438]

This is great, I’m now getting a p365 Werkz holster. I was looking for a trex arms holster, however they only make them for the tlr6

[@64018]

Love how informative you are in videos! Subscribed

[@SB-hn2ld]

Is the TLR-7SUB still the best for the Glock 43X MOS? What about other companies like Viridian's C5L light and green laser updated?

[@thedood2059]

I know were talking about guns and mounted lights, but I really want that Datsun in ur garage

[@WerkzHolsters]

Heh... we love interesting vehicles. That's my son's 620. If you can believe it, the truck was outfitted with a full hydraulic dump bed when he got it. It was used to haul gravel, soil, etc in Cali.

[@timowens7214]

Just ordered my tlr7 sub for my 43x. Next check will be another m6 holster and it will replace my 19x as my EDC which is in my awesome m6 holster with an additional mag carrier. 🤘🇺🇸 great video

[@SkateAndReview]

Thank you for this video! 🙏🏽 streamlight should pay y’all for this lol

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for the encouragement! We plan to keep comparing lights in this manner. Since we make holsters for all sorts of lights, our intent is to simply provide the data so that the community can make informed decisions.

[@YotaDaryl]

Absolutely fantastic review and info. Thanks guys

[@kcscustom9759]

Man this just might be perfect! Is the TLR-7 sub wider than the frame/slide of the G43X? If so by how much? It looks like it might be a hair wider but it’s hard to tell exactly through the video. Im going to look for the specs in a minute but simply comparing specs isn’t always the best way to tell how something is going to fit. Anyways I’ve been looking for a quality light in the 500+ lumen range to put on my 43X that; is water resistant (witch I’d assume the TLR-7sub is IPX6 or 7?). That isn’t much wider than the frame if at all, doesn’t protrude past the muzzle more then 1/2” or so, and also doesn’t cost half as much as the pistol I’m putting it on. This new TLR-7sub seems like it could check all the boxes! Thanks for sharing this!

[@HAYAOLEONE]

Excellent video. Good job.

[@tonyrogers6027]

Best Hostler ever, I love it, and I really like the explanation in each video. Awesome job and Thank You

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thank you Tony for your encouragement! We do spend a lot of time on each holster to get it right, and I'm glad to see that you appreciate that!

[@mikethomas4628]

If you want the best holster, sidecar setup go with trex arms holsters.

[@EnergizerTX]

Wow, that Datsun is pretty Nissan... How's it running??

[@Onedrank]

Awesome job Werkz! Quick question, Will you guys be making an Olight holster that accommodates the Glock 43x mos with the aftermarket attachment that fits with the Baldor Mini? I own a few of your products and this would be a great addition to my collection. Thank you and keep up the great werk!! 👍

[@WerkzHolsters]

Right now we don't plan on supporting options where the light or pistol requires a modification, or a 3rd party accessory, to fit the light to the pistol. If Olight comes out with something direct for the G43x MOS / G48 MOS, then we would likely support. Thanks for the feedback!

[@Onedrank]

@@WerkzHolsters Thank you for your reply. I greatly appreciate the information.

[@stevennydish1529]

The Glock you have on the main picture of this video has a flash hider on it. What brand is it? I am going to order your holster for my Glock 43x mos. Great video!

[@jtam70]

Great video!! I like your holsters, but I always feel with the one clip, the holster is always moving around vs. having two clips for more support and less movement. Thoughts??

[@WerkzHolsters]

We haven't noticed a ton of movement with the single clip, however, if you prefer C-Hooks, those are compatible with our M6 holsters! We have some available on our website: werkz.com/a6ch150.html

Got lucky on Amazon and acquired a TLR-7 sub for the Sig Sauer P365XL. Running a Holosun - HS407K-X2 on it. You guys got a holster ready for this setup as yet? If not when can we expect them to hit the market? Thanks!

Great video! Been looking everywhere for a comparison between the two for my hellcat. I want to buy one of your holsters but afraid it will be uncomfortable compared to my leather padded crossbreed holster. Can anyone given any input in the comfortability? Thanks

[@911_dan2]

The difference in performance between the 7a and Sub could be attributed to the lower thermal mass

[@WerkzHolsters]

Definitely!

[@CarlosDiaz-ee7uc]

Quality video production

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks Carlos!

[@Spartisman]

I wish they would come up with a grip turn on button like my lima laser on my p365. So when you grip it the laser comes on, but you can let up and the laser goes off. Maybe one day. I want a light and laser. Don't like the tlr 6. Great video. As soon as i get my light i will order one of our holster.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Steve, Streamlight did come out with the TLR7 Contour, so it's entirely possible with enough demand they could come out with something like that for the sub. Thanks for the feedback!

[@gregbaxter4528]

What kind of compensator is on the clock 43X in this video?

[@ShaneSellsRealEstate]

Good luck trying to find a Glock 48 MOS or a Glock 43X MOS. I've been looking for 8 months. I can find the lights for it but no gun.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Yeah, I've been having a hard time finding them as well. Not sure what happened to make them so scarce. Glock seems to still be producing Gen3 pistols, but seeing no availability of the G43x G48 MOS from distributors...

[@fackeyutub-emael6545]

Just bought the tlr-7 sub specifically designed for the 43x, the light doesn't even fit.

[@BrothaGoodReps]

Do the Glock 48 and 43X with TLR7 sub fit in the same holster? I only see an option to order the 48 version but not the 43X?

[@WerkzHolsters]

Yes, since the Sub is longer than the G43x, we cut a single holster to fit both. It extends slightly beyond the G43x muzzle.

[@eloucha7694]

Do u think u be able to add a cushion or pad on back of the hostler??I

It’s really embarrassing that Glock ships the G43X with a wimpy 10 round mags yet a 3rd party is able to fit 15 rounds in the exact same form factor and also kept it seated flushly.
