TLR-7A great light for home protection
Bought the TLR-7A for home protection. I like the fact it does not extend past the end of the barrel, as the TLR-1 (HL, etc.) does. Obviously for LE, having the longer run time of the TLR-1 is important, but for home use, this one does nicely. Looks quite natural and balanced on the Glock 17. The on/off switch is very well positioned. I am right handed, but there is a switch on both sides for left handed people. The light is plenty bright for inside the home and the back yard. As many people have commented on, in a real emergency, you would not have the light on for very long so as to give away your location. The battery (included) is the beefy CR123 lithium style. (These are also used in many of the motion sensors used for home security, so if purchased in bulk, the price is reasonable and cost effective.) Time will tell if I ever use it for its intended purpose - hopefully never, but it is better to be safe than sorry! I am glad I have it.
