    Great video right to the point and precise without all the talk that means nothing. You just got a subscriber.

    As here, reviewers demonstrate that the switches are a side-press, but I have no problems with a froward push on either my TLR-8 or TLR-8G. A forward push for me is more optimal as it does not interfere with my sights or laser positions. I just push forward on the switch nub for either momentary or constant on. It works. It is a rocker type switch. I’ll use a two finger pinch with my support hand, to activate strobe (once activated), once the unit is on with lamp already selected. Both my units hold zero, even thru unmounting and remounting as verified with my Optic, love them.

    Nice video, but it would’ve been nice if you were trying to display how good the laser is to turn the flashlight off so that we can see just how good the laser really is on a normal outdoor setting or at night setting without the flashlight being on

    Really good, concise review. Thanks for the video. Do you know if it's possible to adjust the laser for zeroing?

    • @Sportsmans_Warehouse
      @Sportsmans_Warehouse  2 роки тому +7

      Yes you can! it comes with a small Allen wrench and there are adjustment screws for windage and elevation. - DK

    Just got mine today and haven’t mounted it yet. Hopefully I won’t have any issues mounting it on my Ruger security nine pro subcompact with Trijicon sites.
    I also have a Glock that I would like to be able to mount it on but it’s not as critical

      9 FAST presses on the button then on the 10th press, hold the button until it stops flashing. Then it is programmed for strobe with 2 presses

    Great review sir. Just purchased the Sig 365 x micro comp and am new at this and am boggled at the ad Ons for it. my big concern is? I would like to mount a holosun sight on it. how would that work with a tlr-8ag. and if you could use both, how would you zero them together. thanks for this informative review.

    • @Sportsmans_Warehouse
      @Sportsmans_Warehouse  Рік тому +1

      My secret for zeroing lasers and reflex sights is the Sightmark Laser Boresighter. It is really great for zeroing at a specific distance. You do need to verify in live fire with your ammo and tweak it a little. - DK

    Does anyone know which size this combo is compatible with? For holster selection?

    • @Sportsmans_Warehouse
      @Sportsmans_Warehouse  Рік тому

      There isn't a size, per se, for this combo. You would need to find a holster that works for that gun and light combination. Or you may need to have a custom kydex holster made. Fobus makes a Glock holster that leaves the light uncovered and takes it out of the equation, and just locks into the slide. - DK
