Anyone have a Streamlight TLR-3 or TLR-4 and...

... would be willing to do a little measuring for me ?

My situation is thus: I have both TLR-1 and TLR-2 units as they are my favorite pic rail light/laser thingamie. Problem is, I have a platform with a section of rail and area that is simply too short for the TLR 1/2 body to fit into. So, I'm wondering if a member has a compact body model (a 3 or 4) and would be able to tell me the exact distance from the rail adapter to the rearmost point of the rocker switch; so that I might know if they would work on this platform.

It would be greatly appreciated.

About .677 horizontal distance from the back of the rail adapter to the back of the rocker switch on the TLR-3.

11/16"

Actually what I meant by the rail adapter was specifically the little interchangeable plastic bit that fits in the rail slot. So that I could know how much clearance is needed from the farthest out rail slot. I should be able to make a close enough estimation though with the information now at hand. The pic is a big help because I can probably find a stock pic that shows where the plastic slot thing ( no idea what to call that) is situated in the overall rail 'claws'.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

ETA: There's a tic of parallax there. The tape is level with the plastic insert, and the end of the tape was pretty much right on the switch. The reading at the insert is correct +/- 1/32" or so.

Thank you very much ! That's of great help.

As it turns out, for the platform I wish to use it on that appears to be maybe just exactly the clearance I have or maybe just slightly too much. I suppose maybe I could shave a tiny bit off of the rocker switch's 'ears'.. or perhaps make a clearance cut in my handguard.. maybe a little of both. Anyway, thanks again for the quick replies.

Just curious, What are you putting it on?
