    I am setting up my rifle and I have a Streamlight TLR-1 with the long gun kit, and I have a Surefire m300 Mini Scout with pressure switch/button...

    Both provide comparable brightness I am looking for... The Streamlight is a little more "low-profile"... however the tape switch is only momentary (which can be compensated with the physical on/off switch on the unit) where the Surefire has an on/off button along with the momentary however it more bulky on the platform.

    Thoughts? Experiences? Additional Pro's/Con's?

    (Please note that I am asking with regards to these two lights specifically... this isn't a thread to discuss everyone's choices of the light they use/love/hate)

    I like my streamlights. I have a tlr1s on a 7.5" ar. Great customer service and not super expensive compared to Surefire.

    This light has my interest also. No wires to worry about.

    Nice cloud defense reference... Great concept and idea! Looks a little bulky though.

    My reason for asking here is because I already have both... I just don't know which one to use. I too am a fan of streamlights because of the quality and they don't have the mark-up like Surefire just because they are contracted to or a preference of the military.

    Thanks for the feedback! I was actually impressed with the long gun kit for the pistol light.... it works great!
