The Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X SUB USB delivers 1,000 lumens of tactical illumination in a compact subcompact-optimized design. This weapon light combines high-output performance with USB rechargeable convenience for modern defensive applications.
What Makes This Different
The TLR-7 HL-X SUB features a shorter profile specifically engineered for subcompact pistols, eliminating overhang while maintaining full 1,000-lumen output. The integrated USB charging port eliminates the need for separate charging cradles or battery removal. Rail-grabbing claws provide secure attachment to any 1913 Picatinny or Glock-style rail without tools.
