Streamlight TLR-8 Sub Compact Rail Mounted Tactical Light with Red Laser for GLOCK 43X/48 MOS 43X/48 Rail

The Streamlight TLR-8 Sub Compact Rail Mounted Tactical Light with Red Laser for GLOCK 43X/48 MOS combines white LED illumination and laser targeting into a single compact platform optimized for subcompact pistols. With 500 lumens of light output and a 141-meter beam distance, this rail-mounted light delivers sufficient illumination for close-quarters engagement, room clearing, and low-light identification tasks while maintaining the compact profile demanded by concealed-carry and duty weapons.

The TLR-8 Sub features a 640–660 nanometer red laser that runs for 60 hours on a single CR123A lithium battery, while the white LED mode operates for 1.5 hours in light-only configuration or when combined with laser activation. Ambidextrous rear paddle switches allow shooting-hand customization, critical for operators who transition between tactical environments or train both-hands-on-gun techniques. The safe-off feature on the bezel prevents accidental discharge during holster presentation and reholstering—a design consideration that matters during dynamic movement or weapon transitions under stress.

This light is purpose-built for law enforcement, armed security, and civilian concealed-carry shooters who carry GLOCK 43X or 48 pistols in MOS (Modular Optics System) configuration. The compact form factor—4.15 inches in length and 0.33 pounds—preserves the handling characteristics of subcompact pistols while adding targeting capability without requiring a larger frame or holster redesign. Users working with appendix carry, inside-the-waistband, or duty-belt platforms benefit from the minimal profile; the rail-mounted design integrates directly with GLOCK's MOS mounting system, eliminating compatibility guesswork.
