With the introduction of the TLR3, Streamlight addressed an urgent need for a durable and reliable weapon mounted tactical light to complement the cornucopia of compact and subcompact firearms setting the market on fire. The TLR3 proved to be a highly successful addition to Streamlight’s TLR line and a companion to its wildly successful and larger TLR1. However, if you needed a laser aiming module, you had no choice but to leave Streamlight or settle on their TLR2, which was a full sized weapon mounted light with an integrated laser aiming module.
Prayers were answered with Streamlight’s 2012 announcement launching the TLR4 – a compact weapon mounted light with an integrated laser aiming module.
