So I recently bought a TLR7 for a CZ P10C. Anyone else have one?
I have a bit of a criticism of it if you’re expected the use the momentary on to identity a potential threat, shoot/no shoot, fire, turn off and then move.
I’m used to using the TLR1 I guess. The TLR1 has that swinging bar for the momentary or constant on. It’s also further back.
On the TLR7 there’s actually a tab that you have to press forward.
The problem is that on most pistols that’s too far forward towards the muzzle. For reference I’m in between XL and L gloves, so I’m not exactly Mr. Tiny Paws. Even still I have to rotate my hand over to hit it with my right index finger.
On the left side of the light I shoot thumbs forward. If I try to actuate it on the left side with my support thumb I have to slide my hand forward and actuate it that way.
From this ...
... to this.
Anyone have a technique for actuating the light on the TLR7 while remaining locked in? Or is there an after market tab that has the switch a little further to the rear?
I mean I guess at least you aren’t going to accidentally hit the thing turning the light on inadvertently, but I’m not really a big fan so far.
