RJH Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I am considering putting a flashlight/weight on my gun. Since i am just doing it for a weight i would like to buy a knockoff, but i need one with the same foot print as a name brand, so i can get a kydex holster to fit. Anyone know of a light that would fit the bill? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avedis Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Streamlight TLR-1 with Tungsten Weights weighs 9.85oz. You can also use any light that takes a CR123 battery, as two of these weights equals the size of one CR123 battery. Weights can be purchased from forum member Solscud007 See photos in link https://imgur.com/a/5Ce73MK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to be ableto use it later as a light if I would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRussell Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 There was a light I was considering using, it's about $33 on Amazon and one of the reviewers said it was shaped identical to his TLR1. I would feel bad about buying and destroying a TLR1 to make a weight, this cheap thing I wouldn't even care... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XGJV7MZ/?coliid=I24H3ZIHTN8WDT&colid=2CAUDMVNV0N1T&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind the tlr if i could still use it but one of these cheapies seems like the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to switch it back to a normal light, just put the batteries back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
