The Nightstick TCM5B delivers professional-grade illumination in a compact package specifically engineered for narrow rail handguns. This 650-lumen LED weapon light provides the tactical advantage needed in low-light situations while maintaining the streamlined profile essential for concealed carry applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike bulky full-size weapon lights that add unnecessary weight and printing issues, the TCM5B features a subcompact design that maintains weapon balance and holster compatibility. The narrow rail mounting system ensures secure attachment without interfering with standard grip techniques or sight alignment. Advanced LED technology delivers 650 lumens of crisp white light while consuming minimal battery power compared to older incandescent models.
