These keys feature different widths to ensure a secure fit on the various bottom rails used by pistol manufacturers.<\/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\/04\/IMG_3634-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"A Streamlight light mounted to a tan pistol\" class=\"wp-image-201296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3634-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3634-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3634-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3634-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3634.jpg 1385w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Single-set screw for tightening the WML down on a pistol rail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, a crucial point to highlight is that the TLR-7 X maintains compatibility with holsters designed for the TLR-7 series of lights.

With a single CR123A, you can expect approximately 1.5 hours of usage, while the included rechargeable Streamlight SL-B9 provides around 1.0 hours. The option for a rechargeable battery is appreciated, though for personal carry, I&#8217;ll stick to the CR123A, as I have with the older TLR-7A. This preference is also partly due to Streamlight&#8217;s recommendation that the SL-B9 operates best at temperatures above -4\u00b0F, compared to the -40\u00b0F tolerance of a CR123A. Despite this, rechargeable batteries offer convenience and cost savings, making them a viable option for many users.<\/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\/04\/IMG_3661-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Light illuminating trees at night\" class=\"wp-image-201310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3661-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3661-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3661-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3661-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3661.jpg 1387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shining the TLR-7 X about 50 yards away<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To charge the SL-B9 battery, simply remove it from the <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/weapon-mounted-lights-by-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-7-x-review\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-7 X Review\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2493\">weapon light<\/a> and use the provided USB-C cord.

However, I&#8217;m pleased to note that it has performed flawlessly thus far. Utilizing the same body and footprint as the older tried and true models, I also predict it will continue to hold up just fine. With a light output of 500 lumens and 5,000 candela, this WML delivers impressive illumination. Streamlight claims a beam distance of 140 meters, which may seem slightly generous in terms of usable illumination but remains nonetheless impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEE MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everything-you-really-need-to-know-about-picking-a-long-gun-light-lumens\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"streamlight-tlr-7-x-review\" title=\"Streamlight TLR-7 X Review\">Everything You Really Need to Know About Picking a Long Gun Light<\/a><\/strong><\/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\/04\/IMG_3604-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Shooting a Canik pistol with the Streamlight TLR-7 X installed\" class=\"wp-image-201294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3604-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3604-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3604-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3604-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3604.jpg 1417w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shooting the CANik TTI Combat with the new Streamlight WML<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the size, the Streamlight TLR-7 X is well worth its weight.
