Glad you took time to explain this, as im on fence about to even buy an wml or keep running my edc light with my edc carry. Finding holsters is the pain. And the info about those duty lights got me really thinking.
The HL-X/RM1 head will not give older TLR7 bodied lights near the same output of the dedicated HL-X body due to drivers/circuitry. Can’t wait to see what you guys have coming out, @henryholsters This new HL-X has met all the hype I put on it and I know your holsters are always solid.
Because in many cases, that isn't true. On lots of light-bearing holsters, the kydex molded over the end of the light bezel is main thing that controls the insertion depth of the firearm into the holster. If you cut that away, or remold it to allow a longer bezel through, the gun may no longer register at the intended depth and may not engage properly with the retention features of the holster. Also, if the bezel is poking out of the end of the holster, the entire firearm is much more susceptible to being bumped up out of place, potentially exposing the trigger while the gun is still in the holster.
The bezel face is the main stop that controls how far the gun/light can be inserted into the holster, so I would not recommend cutting it away in an attempt to allow the HL-X to fit.
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but light-bearing M&P holsters are very low on our priority list for development, so that's unlikely to be available anytime soon.
Thanks for taking the time to clear the smoke before the fire even started! Awesome explanation, and the holsters speak for themselves 😂
Good info! Hopefully Streamlight will continue all these different product lines so you aren't sitting on obsolete tooling.

Thanks for breaking this down. I’ve been curious what’s new with the newer lights

Thanks for the update, great video.
Crazy that they put out a TLR 7 HLX running more lumens and candela than TLR 10.
This new tlr7 is a very nice update I hope they update their tlr1 also
Love the honesty at the end of video, not my favorite part either.
Drop the hlx for macro😢
Would you make a TLR7 HLX holster for the Staccato CS?
I need a sig fuse tlr-7hlx holster
Why is no one saying that they can just mod a TLR7a holster to an open ended setup, Specially if the main difference is just the light shroud?!

Can we cut the end of the holster out to hold both light bezels? I don’t even know where the retention is on the tlr7 light

I want a holster for m&p 2.0 compact 4inch with this light 🙏

Does the tlr7 hlx fit on sub guns like glock 43x and sig 365x?
No. Those guns are only compatible with the TLR-7 Sub
Anything otw for the Hellcat Pro w this light? TLR-7HLX
Not yet.
How long until we can get a spark for g19 w/tlr7hlx
Probably not sooner than 4-6 weeks from now. We have a lot of other projects on our plate.
Great at making holsters, but can’t make a TH-cam video for ish. Hahah. Turn your camera 90 degrees please.
No.
