To sum up my ideology is this. I view any gun I carry for protection as a tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With any job, there are several tools with which it may be accomplished. To drive a nail one could use a brick, the back of a crescent wrench, or any number of blunt instruments. A hammer would be the ideal implement but even within its ranks there are a variety of options. Depending on the situation some options are better suited than others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Without context, there is no way to select the right tool. Imagine someone telling you to get a hammer. Without any information regarding the job, you may be left framing a house with a spike maul.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Following the same logic, I want to select the most effective self-defense tools. Keeping their intended function in the forefront of my mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With the stakes regarding the use of deadly force so high, I dare not feel a sense of security simply because I \u201ccarry a gun\u201d. Carrying a snub nose .38 may make me feel like a detective from a 1940s noir, but novelty isn&#8217;t going to help me if I need to make a headshot at 30 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-right-tool-for-the-job\">The Right Tool For The Job<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The application of my utilitarian approach is simple. If I can carry a gun, I want to carry the most effective one I can. For me, that is a <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=glock%2019%20gen%205\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-6-hl-little-light-big-impact\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-6 HL: Little Light, Big Impact\">Glock 19<\/a> with a light and red dot. My current choice is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamlight.com\/products\/detail\/tlr-7-x\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-6-hl-little-light-big-impact\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-6 HL: Little Light, Big Impact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TLR-7<\/a> for the weapon light and a <a href=\"https:\/\/holosun.com\/products\/reflex-sight\/eps\/eps-red-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-6-hl-little-light-big-impact\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-6 HL: Little Light, Big Impact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Holosun EPS<\/a> red dot. This package is small enough for me to effectively conceal, I can make precise shots at distance, I have a bright weapon light to identify and illuminate targets, and the 15+1 capacity is acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Keeping the utilitarian mindset, I don&#8217;t care to carry a variety of guns from day to day. I want to be a master of my trade and have my preferred tool at hand.  Of all my guns, that G19 is my choice 95% of the time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9870-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"S&amp;W Shield on rock in front of wooden fence\" class=\"wp-image-199904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9870-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9870-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9870-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9870-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9870-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9870-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The other 5% mainly consists of when I go for a run and carry a S&amp;W Shield in a belly band. I do this for the reduction in weight and bulk but it always feels like a compromise. The shield isn\u2019t too small to effectively shoot at distance. I use a <a href=\"https:\/\/magguts.com\/product\/smith-wesson-shield-9mm-2-magguts\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-6-hl-little-light-big-impact\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-6 HL: Little Light, Big Impact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">+2 MagGut spring<\/a> so the capacity is now acceptable at 9+1 rounds of 9mm. My main concern has always been the underpowered weapon light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With a light mandatory for all my defensive guns, I outfitted my Shield with the only light made for it at the time of purchase, the Streamlight TLR-6. At only one hundred lumens, this tiny light was not very bright but it was better than nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-introducing-the-tlr-6-hl\">Introducing the TLR-6 HL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">After years of sub-compact pistols being limited by the low output of compatible lights, Streamlight has introduced the TLR-6 HL. This light has the same form factor as the original TLR-6 while boasting a couple of new features.  The most notable is a beam that is three times brighter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9881-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Light on pistol pointing out into darkness\" class=\"wp-image-200179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9881-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9881-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9881-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9881-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9881-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9881-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Models of the TLR-6 HL (High Lumen) are currently made for the Glock 42\/43, standard Glock rails, <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=custom%20sig%20p365\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-6-hl-little-light-big-impact\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-6 HL: Little Light, Big Impact\">Sig P365<\/a>, and S&amp;W Shield 9\/40 but more options are expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-installation\">Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Without an accessory rail to attach to, this light makes use of the trigger guard as a mounting point. remove the three screws from the light to allow the body to split in half and reveal the laser\/light core unit. This unit is the same through all TLR-6 HL models. The outer clam shell is the component that changes to fit each firearm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9865-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"mounting a TLR-6 HL to a handgun\" class=\"wp-image-199905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9865-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9865-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9865-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9865-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9865-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9865-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Position half of the outer body on the trigger guard, place the light unit inside, and the other on top. Screw the halves together to clamp it to the trigger guard and hold the light in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-added-features\">Added Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This new model improved upon its previous form in two significant ways. First, It has a light output of 300 lumens and 4250 candela. The old one was only 100 lumens and 2000 candela. This drastic increase in output makes a big difference in the effectiveness of this light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The beam has a moderately wide hot spot with plenty of flood. It is enough light to illuminate targets through the entire range I would feel comfortable engaging with this pistol. It doesn\u2019t have the strength to push through photonic barriers like a car&#8217;s headlights but that capability is only expected from larger and stronger duty lights like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surefire.com\/x300t\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-6-hl-little-light-big-impact\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-6 HL: Little Light, Big Impact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X300T<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9884-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A pistol-mounted light points at a shed\" class=\"wp-image-200180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9884-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9884-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9884-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9884-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9884-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9884-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For its size, I am very impressed with the illumination it offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rechargeable-batteries\">Rechargeable Batteries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The second major improvement in the TLR-6 HL is the rechargeable battery. The old light ran off two disposable CR-1\/3N batteries. It\u2019s not an easy one to come by and when you do find them they are expensive. The new light uses a single rechargeable lithium SL-B2 battery which gives about twenty minutes of runtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Three of these proprietary batteries are included with the light in addition to a charging case to hold and recharge the two cells that you are not currently using.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9851-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"TLR-6 HL battery pack sitting on rock\" class=\"wp-image-199906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9851-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9851-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9851-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9851-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9851-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9851-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The charger is quite handy. Just plug it into a USB cable and it will charge either one or two batteries. It charges each side independently so you can top off one dead battery without affecting the other. Plus, it also functions as a really useful carrying case so you don\u2019t lose the spares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9876.HEIC-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Battery swap for weapon-mounted light with magazine, ammo, and handgun\" class=\"wp-image-199909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9876.HEIC-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9876.HEIC-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9876.HEIC-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9876.HEIC-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9876.HEIC-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9876.HEIC-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Not only do the rechargeable batteries make it easier to always keep a full battery in my light, but It also makes training more effective. I would hardly train with the old TLR-6 because burning through those specialty batteries was a bit pricy. Now I can <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/weapon-light-tactics\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-6-hl-little-light-big-impact\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-6 HL: Little Light, Big Impact\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2479\">train with this weapon light<\/a> as much as I want and when the battery gets low I can easily swap it for one in the charger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-downsides-to-the-tlr-6-hl\">Downsides To The TLR-6 HL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The main flaw I found in the old TLR-6 that was left unresolved in the new TLR-6 HL is that it is not water resistant. The control board is very sensitive to water and it is only covered by the unsealed plastic shell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9863-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"TLR-6 HL disassembled\" class=\"wp-image-199907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9863-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9863-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9863-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9863-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9863-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_9863-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I recognize that this isn\u2019t a duty light and it is unlikely for your concealed carry pistol to take a swim.  However, I have fallen in enough creeks and been caught in enough downpours to know it is at least a possibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-laser-adjustment\">Laser Adjustment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I can&#8217;t neglect to mention that the TLR-6 HL also includes a red or green laser depending on the model. Using the same small Allen wrench used to mount the light. Adjustments have no clicks or markings, simply turn the windage and elevation screws in a trial-and-error manner until the laser matches your point of impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-controls-on-the-tlr-6-hl\">Controls On the TLR-6 HL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The operation of this light is relatively straightforward. There is a button located on each side of the unit and is easy to access by either your trigger finger or your support hand thumb. Tap the button quickly for constant on or hold for momentary. Pressing both buttons at the same time will cycle through the three modes. Light only, laser only, or light and laser together.
