Streamlight 69284 TLR-6 Tactical Gun Light

Rated at 100 lumen, I wasn't entirely sure the Streamlight TLR-6 with red laser would throw enough light. After installing this onto my new P365 (manufactured on 26 June 2020), my concerns vanished. It provides a satisfactory amount of light ... and to the degree that makes me wonder if the claim of 100 lumen is a bit low. The TLR-6 is sturdy and for most people should be easy to install with the included (very, very small) Allen wrench. My TLR-6 came with the battery compartment door unattached, likely caused during shipping because the box had clearly taken a beating and was in sad shape. However the battery door, the very small hinge sleeve and hinge pin were in the box and I was able to reassemble it. As mentioned by other reviewers, the light only, light and laser, or laser only feature is nice and the unit "remembers" your last selected type of illumination without fail. The red laser is quite bright, but not as distractingly bright/intense as a green laser can be. I use a green laser mounted to my camera's hot shoe in astrophotography as a pointing guide at celestial objects as it provides a visible beam of light from the camera to the target... not exactly what you want on firearm. In some outdoor, bright sunlight situations, the red laser might not be all that effective, but I intended the laser to be used in dark situations anyway. As such, the red laser is essentially perfect. I tested the laser by pointing it at targets far, far beyond the effective range of a micro-compact pistol like the SIG P365 and it functioned exactly as desired. Windage and elevation adjustments to the laser were easily accomplished. I haven't a single significant complaint with the TLR-6. That said, as the TLR-6 requires two CR 1/3 N batteries (two were included, of course), you might want to locate a reliable source for fresh batteries. I had to visit three stores to have some spare batteries on hand. Could the light be brighter? Sure, I wouldn't complain it was, but it's more than sufficient as is. Some method of storing, or attaching, the tiny Allen wrench to/in the light itself would be a nice touch as well. For now, it resides at the bottom of a credit card slot in my wallet. In that way, I've always got it with me... and that Allen key, as I've said, is very, very small. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend the Streamlight TLR-6 to anyone wanting a rail mounted light/laser combination for use with a micro-compact pistol like the SIG P365, Springfield Armory Hellcat or various other micro-compacts.

Nice, compact light. Yes the battery door is a critical failure point. Under recoil, it has popped open and dropped the batteries at the range once or twice after firing a couple mags of 124 grain ball ammo. Might be a bigger problem if firing some +P ammo. The laser holds and stays true under recoil if installed correctly and mounted tightly. The light is adequate for short ranges outdoors and just fine indoors. For the size, it is capable and performs well. I have one for my 365XL and it was a little tricky with those 3 small screws to disassemble it into the two shell halves with the central unit within. It has to be laid over the front of the trigger guard (top and bottom halves), held together with one hand so it doesn't come apart while tightening and screwing in those 3 very small screws and the very small allen wrench. Not easy to do. The unit basically envelopes/overlaps the very front of the trigger guard, covering it. The front of the trigger guard on my Macro is slightly thicker with a different contour than the XL and I just cannot get the Streamlight to fit. I didn't want to take a dremel to it and grind the trigger guard. I have done that on my Glock 19 trigger guard right where my right middle finger knuckle touches the trigger guard. With a round hand file, I was able to remove enough materiel to reduce the pinching sensation that I had before. But the Sig has a much cleaner, smoother finished surface, so filing it would obviously mar the appearance of the gun. The finish on the Glock is rougher and more tolerant of removing materiel without marring the appearance of the gun. Disappointed that I could not get it installed. Waiting for the weekdays to contact Streamlight about finding a model to fit the Macro.

I had owned the P365 for about a year waiting for any major manufacturer to make a pistol light for it. Originally, when the P365 was first advertised they had showcased a sig proprietary pistol light - the Foxtrot365. Time went by and it was never available to buy, by the time the light was available I had already discovered Crimson Trace & Streamlight were also releasing a light and I really like both designs. For 100 lumens Sig was charging around $150, Streamlight $110 and Crimson Trace was a little cheaper at around $90. What really ended up selling me on the TLR-6 was the fact there were already other versions of the TLR-6 for other pistols, the TLR-6 model would probably have holster options sooner. Also I thought the design was the nicest. I almost didnt buy it because of the laser, that was in my mind at the time what the crimson trace light had to its advantage (no laser) but who knows how long I would have had to wait for a holster. I am not a fan of lasers and at the time I wasn't aware you could turn it off, so when I discovered that I was very happy. Overall I dont regret buying this over those other 2 options. When I received it, it was pretty straightforward and easy to install, I dont recall If I used the instructions at all but I probably did. It was a piece of cake to put together. The button is in a good location, you can access it either with your main or support hand as its located on both sides, so its perfect for left and right handed shooters as well. Love the ergonomic design, its a perfect match for the pistol, it looks perfect with the pistol, its not ugly. The light placement also allows for a better grip and area for thumb placement on my support hand. Funny thing is, I couldn't really use it for about a month. I would scour over instagram looking to see if someone had made holsters for it yet, eventually I found one. I ordered a holster and installed it permanently. Ive been wearing mine for about a good month now. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. One suggestion to streamlight for future improvements would be to start moving towards rechargeable options.

This little light fits perfectly on my tiny P365 and really adds to its utility. This isn’t a spotlight, it won’t illuminate 100 yards away, but it will allow you to identify targets in defensive range, in the pistol’s useful range. I’m not usually a laser user, but the laser is nice too. I wear glasses and am virtually blind without them, certainly can’t see the sites of my gun, but I CAN see this red dot without my glasses and put shots on target. That gives me another tool and some extra utility for my fire arm. When not in use, the light is so small and light that it has no effect on the normal functioning of the pistol.

I ordered this light for my 365xl. I was shipped the incorrect model and it did not fit my pistol. I exchanged it for another order free of charge. If I get the correct model this time I'll update the review. **UPDATE** With Amazon's excellent return/exchange policy I was able to get a new light the next day and it was the correct model. The light is super easy to install and it a perfect fit on my 365XL. The lumens are a little low but I knew that prior to purchase. The candella is high enough to produce a nice beam with a good hotspot. I'd venture to say it's good enough up to 50 feet. If you're looking for a pistol mounted light to use mostly indoors or close quarter situations this light is PERFECT. If you need a pistol light for outdoor use mostly, I would probably suggest one of Streamlight more powerful light (TLR1 series). I'm very happy with this purchase!

Perfect Light/Laser Combo for My SIG P365 This Streamlight TLR-6 works great with my SIG P365. It’s compact, easy to install, and the light/laser combo makes it a perfect addition for carry. The 100-lumen output is bright enough for close-range use, and the integrated red laser adds quick target acquisition. A solid upgrade for the P365/XL platform.

I have never had a light on any of my guns. If I heard a bump in the night I went to investigate with my gun and a handheld flashlight. No big deal I thought. Then I went on a night shoot and I was illuminated! I bought this for a Sig 365XL with the Sig Romeo zero. It was simple to install. Simple to zero. Simple to use. You can have just the light, just the red laser, or both at the same time. It remembers your last setting and uses that one. I zeroed the laser with the sig romeo zero, but have left the setting with just the light. There is plenty of lumen to see around a house/apartment. The thing is so compact that I do not notice it is even there. I ordered a holster from Vedder that accommodates the TSL6 and the romero As always, fits is perfect. Stick the handheld light in your pocket just in case and stick the TLR6 on your pistol.

If its a Streamlight, its quality. I have it mounted on a SIG365. I only use the light feature. It is very streamline and easy to conceal.
