    Fantastic light. The TLR 7 has finally been dethroned! Also, it's a perfect fit on an M&P with 4" or 4.25" barrel. Not many holsters out there for it though. Safariland (Incog X) is about the only one I've found that has if for non-Sig models.

      Foxtrot 2r destroys it in every category except for looks and it having less “ready to ship” holsters available. I decided to go for the better performance and I don’t regret it at all! Everyone I know that has switched from a TLR7 to Foxtrot2r have been glad they did. Definitely worth checking out!

Next time you want people to join just forget his name when you’re naming off the list. You’ll get more people to join😂 but when it comes to pistol lights it’s hard for me to use anything except the TLR1-HL with the price and quality it’s hard to beat. Idk what the Sig light costs but at 130-140 bucks the Streamlight is hard to beat. Now it is bigger so if that’s an issue for someone than maybe the Sig is the one to choose but my holster is are light bearing for the TLR1-HL so I don’t see myself changing pistol lights anytime soon. For new buyers this is a good option though. Well depending on the cost.

    We have at least 4 sig lights on pistols. Love them. Blinding!

    Thoughts on a variable lumen pistol light. (not sure if one exists) I'd hate to hit a mirror clearing my house with that bad boy at full strength.

    Which holster brand makes holsters for this light? Never seen any in drop down menus win buying holster for other popular lights.

      Yes. I have one on my XTEN Comp, carried in a Black Point Tactical AIWB holster.

    nice valuable appreciated vid! can you also do a video on optics and/or iron sights for rifle? let's say even in ranges such as "short" and "long" distance whatever that means to you. I would say short is up to 50 yards and long up to 500. I'm more interested in a short distance quick acquisition sights

    The 700 lumens and 20,000 candela make it a powerhouse in a compact package. Compared to the TLR-7, TLR-1 HL, and Surefire X300U, the Foxtrot2R holds its own with a solid beam pattern

    This may be an unpopular opinion, but sometimes bright is bright enough. No need to keep chasing the brightest lights year after year
