Have one of those. It's the best 45 dollars I've ever spent on something simple and impossible to eff up like a flashlight. Got about 600+ through it, along with 60 or so +p+ ( yes, it's okay, it has a 416R barrel and comp) and so far, it's perfectly fine. Waterproof, same functions and about 75 percent as bright as TLR-1 HL. Review some of the other knockoffs....red dots, lasers, magnifiers, etc. There's lots of material for reviews.
The flickering is likely from the batteries coming off their connectors for a split second. You can get around that by getting a conductive strip from a battery charger or similar item, cross positive to negative with it and tape it in place, while allowing the spring seated sides of the batteries to remain unconnected. It works for my knockoff pvs-14 when mounted just fine, and before I did that, it would shut off for 1 second every time I fired. Now all good.
I got one of these great light if you open the bezel the light is free floating and to avoid any issues I filled in the back of the light with jb weld and let it set over night I have had no issues since than
ive been wanting a light on my edc, ruger security 9c, and ive been looking for a reliable cheaper light. $300 for a fkin LIGHT is absurd. i might get this. thank you. lol i imagine hudis tactical still never replied about that helmet test?
Some of these knock offs have reversed controls and that sucks. The paddles are also larger on the knock off. But hey, I have a knock off TLR1 HL. Had it for about 2 yrs and its still kickin.
@@poortac5568 I dont know if you ever saw the Targon TLX-3. I was able to get 4 of those. They are still listed on their site but have been out of stock for a while. If they ever go back in stock, you should look into it. Reviews on my channel.
Wouldn't surprise me if its made in the same factory. Streamlights are all made in China anyway. Goonbeam's are made in the same factory as a streamlight.
@@poortac5568yes different build specs, different emitters..... but the same exact factory. guy on reddit tracked down import records, same exact origin address.
Is there any chance you have a new link available? Went to place an order and no longer available. Just got my omnivore holster in, now to get one of these to set up my 22lr trainer.

I ain’t got me a single attachment on my pistols, nothing, even got that MOS on a G17.5, but ain’t got a single optic either, compete stock life 😅 maybe its time for me to look into some bootleg CCP attachments for that frugal life 👏 Also, you ever had problems with Customs with these stuff?
I have real ones on my carry guns. All my range toys I buy knock off lights for for like 26 bucks they work. They stay on and they bright. Why pay the retail for a range toy
@@oakridgereview1359 I agree, but this saves money for those trying to save a bit of money for spare/fun guns that they just want a light on. I prefer the Surefire X300 Turbo personally.
Lmao what a time to be alive. We have so many damn options for literally any hobby we get into these days.

I did some Eotech clone stuff too 👍 Any clone that seems decent is fair game😎

Yeah, the Goonbeam HLX clone I have came with an O ring to put behind the battery and it worked perfectly to stop flickering 👍
Love watching the brass in slow motion, so mesmerizing.
agreed 😎
Recently learned of the creative xp surefire x300 clone that looks promising 😂
I like this TLR1 clone better than my Surefire clone because the performance is better. But holster compatibility is important too 😎
@@poortac5568for safariland at least, my tlr 1 fits the x300 mould.

Im sure there are different build specs, but from what Im seeing, there isnt much difference. Might as well save $100 if its not a duty light 😎

@@poortac5568that one’s gone now too
Any idea where I can find one of these?
I’ve checked everywhere
So do you have a link to it? Or where we can get the toy version?
Ebay is your best bet. They constantly change links and change names, so you will have to search.
Would you share the link or how to search it?
They went up by $5, but many have “offer” options. Thats how I got mine for $40 with shipping.

@@bradc7827 I agree. I have 2 pistols and rifles that I set up for carry/serious use. Everything else gets optics/lights that are “good enough” 👍
That's a tumbled then anodized aluminum finish on the real TLR. /salute
Good to know, thanks for the info 👍
Does it fit the Blackhawk omnivore
I would think so, its nearly identical. Sadly I dont have that holster to try it out in.
Yes it does. Perfectly fine.
Does anyone have a link

Streamlights are cheap enough and kick ass. Just buy a TLR1HL
