I would REALLY prefer to stay American in weapons lights, but the Chicoms have us beat on size, convenience, mounting.

I am looking at a TLR 7 after buying a PL Mini 2 and cannot find something as to its advantage other than it fits my favorite holster (TLR 7).

Why cannot Streamlight, or someone American rip off the Chicoms and use their adjustable rail and mounting technique and get us off the crack?

I cannot use a compact TLR on my P99. The mounting level is trivial and doesn't come off, and I can put the easy to activate switch at any location wrt the trigger guard. C'man man - time to rip off the Chinese.
