The TLR6 is only 100 lumens but its way better than nothing. Switching is easy to turn on/off and is small and light weight.

I carry one of my surefire pocket lights whenever I'm out and about anyways so if I need more light I have it on hand.

I have the TLR-6 on my G26 and my S&W Shield and love it. I will be getting one for my G43. I did a thread about them in the lights/lasers/knives sub forum if you want to search for it.

I say you can't beat it. For $100 you get a light & laser combo for a small carry gun that takes up a space that has to already been accounted for in your holster. My two have done great with no problems. I think it is definitely worth it for a pistol that you may have to defend your use of in a court of law.

I will be carrying an extra light when I carry it as well like I do with my G19 and XC1. Thank you

Thanks, I may give them a try. I have a couple of options to carry so I could install and run a few hundred to feel comfortable.

I had the old connector in mine and the trigger pull was too heavy IMO. I swapped it out for the updated part. It has a "-" on it. From what I have read it is better/equal to the aftermarket offerings.

I completely forgot about this I need to check mine. I'm blanking on when I bought it but it was fairly early on.

I have 3 Overwatch triggers and they are well worth the money.

Using the following, relatively new G43 owner, apparently a lot in common with bighawk’s setup:

-Ghost Edge connector
-Vickers slide stop
-Streamlight TLR6
-Vickers +2 basepads
-Ameriglo night sights (Defoors)
-Bawidamann Gotham G43/TLR6 holster and mag carrier

I have five mags setup with the Vickers +2. Two of them will not reliably hold 8 rounds, so they are now used for just training purposes. I’m considering Taran Tacticals for the future. Very happy with everything else.

While the TTI base pads are expensive I have them for several different guns and they all work perfect so I feel comfortable recommending them to anyone in the market for mag extensions.

What I don't get is how is it that no one yet has come out with something more than plus-2's, like howzabout a 14 round mag for reloads?

The accessory I'm waiting for-- no teasing now-- the Comonolli thumb safety for the G43. I think they are having trouble fitting it to the smaller package.
