HOME DEFENSE PISTOL! STREAMLIGHT OR...?

[JTIZZLE76]

Good morning fellow OKShooters, I was curious on what some peoples preference on usage for a home defense light on their pistols? Ive always been a huge fan of streamlight being in the automotive industry and they have NEVER failed me. I ran over my Stinger with a dump truck at my current job and it STILL works. Amazing products I must say w/ a great warranty!

Home defense gun: Canik TPSFA Mod2
Full size pistol for a full size big boy!

Really leaning towards the Streamlight TLR-8A G w/ integrated Green laser.

I have streamlight 1s on my Glock 21 and 19s and I have one with a laser on my usp compact. They’re way cheaper than surefire and seem to work okay, I have no complaints

I have Streamlights on anything I might conceivably use at home and have had no trouble with them. Only pistol I have at the moment is my Shield+, which has a TLR-6 on it (micro compact).

I have no experience with the tlr-8, but I use a 1hd and a 2 with laser. Both are great, but the High Lumen versions are WAY brighter. There is something to be said about brightness as a disorientation tool, especially if you use the strobe. Anyway ..Stream light in general is a safe bet! (Just make sure you stay away from the plastic model varients like the old tlr-3)

I have multiple TLR-1’s (probably 6 or so). No problems, would not hesitate to buy more. In fact, hunting up a deal on a TLR-7a for the 365XL.
I would probably not use a laser though except in a training aid scenario, but that’s just me personally.

Can't go wrong with Streamlight IMO, and I'd forgo the laser too. TLR-1 HL would be tough to beat for the price.
