TLR-3

Has anyone handled these yet? When mounted on a G19/23, does the light extend past the muzzle?

CR2 batteries are not that uncommon. Also used by the Insight X2 lights. It is a semi-standard camera similar to but smaller than the 123 type batteries.

Here is a place I googled that has many different makes of them so you can see who makes them and at about what price -- I have no connection to this place -- just found them through Google and list it here since they list a billion and 1 CR2 batteries

CR2's aren't uncommon around here. Every grocery/drug/dept store in this area has them on the rack.

Not cheap, though.

I have a couple of items that use CR2's and that is an issue for me in that when I travel they are not readily available (everywhere) and are always pricey. So I buy a few at a time when I can find a deal and always carry spares.

I'm also interested in any feedback on the TLR-3. I'm in the market for a weapon mounted light for a G19 and this has caught my eye.

Anyone have one of these yet?

I bought one last month (couldn't resist for $75, what the heck). It's small. First weapon light I've owned so I've not much to compare it against. But it's bright as hell but no blinding splash. Easy to actuate with two hand hold. G17 runs smooth as butta with it on. It extends about flush to G17 muzzle.

I tried it on my G19. Yes, it extended beyond the muzzle, and there was a good half inch gap between the rocker switches and the trigger guard. It extends as far past the mussle as a TLR-1 does. That's because the locator notch on the G19 is the same distance from the muzzle as the G17.

I returned it.
