This light is fantastic, and I am thoroughly impressed with it. It fits my gun perfectly, and there is very little, if anything, that I can find to criticize. One minor issue is that the button requires a long reach, which may pose difficulties for individuals with smaller hands. Additionally, while the brightness is excellent for in-home protection, it may not be as effective outdoors. However, if you are searching for a home defense light, then this product will serve your needs wonderfully. Overall, I highly recommend this light to anyone in need of such an accessory.

I installed this light on my S&W Shield 9mm, as I am particular about having a light on my carry gun, and this compact light is the perfect addition. It provides ample illumination to light up a room or alleyway. However, the pressure pad requires a bit of a stretch for my finger, and I am 5'11", so if you have smaller hands, you may need to use your non-firing hand to activate the light. This leads me to the one improvement I would suggest, which is to offer the option of a remote pad on the gun's grip, or perhaps a feature similar to Viridian's, where the light turns on as soon as the pistol is drawn from its holster. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this weapon light and would recommend it.

This compact light is both bright and visually appealing, and it complements my M&P Shield quite well. Since a light is typically only necessary in low-light or no-light conditions, this device provides ample illumination when investigating a suspicious noise at night. Furthermore, its slim design is similar to that of the pistol, adding little to no additional bulk. The light's functionality is straightforward and can be easily operated from either side. My only criticism is that I was missing the hex wrench required for installation, resulting in about 30 minutes of searching around my house for the proper tool. As a result, I deducted one star from my overall rating.

The light is an ideal fit for my gen 1 M&P Shield, as if it was designed specifically for it. The polymer finish of the gun and light are nearly identical, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing combination. While the TLR6 is a small light and provides only minimal illumination, it's a great option for those seeking a light for a subcompact or micro-compact firearm. The light's controls are sturdy and allow you to press and hold for continuous illumination or press once to toggle on/off. Despite having fired several hundred rounds of 9mm on my Shield, the light has held up well and provided adequate illumination.

Initially, I harbored doubts regarding the brightness of this light for concealed carry. However, my reservations were dispelled when I discovered that the light actually provided adequate illumination. In fact, with good eyesight, one can clearly see objects up to 30 yards away and 4 yards wide, which is more than enough for concealed carry purposes. Additionally, the light is lightweight and doesn't add unnecessary bulk to the gun, and it's straightforward to install. The light body is well-made, and each side snaps into the trigger guard, while three bolts hold the sides together. To be extra cautious, I used some blue thread locker, but even after repeatedly practicing holstering and re-holstering, the light remained secure, as I had anticipated.

This weapon light is one of the few goods and small options for small guns available today. It works well, is reliable, and also has an acceptable laser for some added accuracy. The battery being easily removable is a nice feature, as opposed to completely disassemble the clamshell each time replacement is needed. The beam is acceptable width and brightness. I am simply glad that this light is made and is not too large, defeating the purpose of a small gun in general. If I dropped it a lot, I could probably crack the polymer housing. Aluminum would be better. But it is mounted on a polymer lower pistol frame, so it is similar or less than the very gun strength overall. I only use the light on short and limited occasions, so I have not worn the battery source out yet. I am the same way with pocket flashlights but go through their batteries more often, as I use them in public more frequently. I would recommend to a friend. My girlfriend also likes her same model.

Excellent product. The light intensity was very bright, and the fit on my smith and Wesson shield 40 was very tight and perfect with no rattle. This also fitted on my smith and wesson shield 9mm perfectly.
