Have you heard of Streamlight\u2019s TLR RM 2 Long Gun weapon light? It\u2019s not your everyday long gun light, but it has some cool features worth checking out. Back in the day, Streamlight was known for their rechargeable handheld flashlights. The first light I ever carried on duty was a heavy 3-cell MagLight that was nearly indestructible.<\/p>\n

But the price of those big C-batteries added up, and the light wasn\u2019t really that bright. When I purchased my first Streamlight, I thought it was a toy. It was small and light, which equated to junk in my mind. I was sure it would break in no time, and I would be back to carrying the metal torch.<\/p>\n

I could even wear it in a belt holder, and it didn\u2019t swing around every time I moved. That light lasted for years before I gave it to my kids and replaced it with a newer model.<\/p>\n

Now, Streamlight<\/a> is known for making top-of-the-line weapon-mounted lights. Of course, they still make great handheld lights, but all the buzz in today\u2019s world revolves around handgun and rifle-mounted lights. And that brings us to our topic of conversation, the TLR RM 2. This light is compact and easy to use but also includes a green laser.<\/p>\n

Lights tend to keep getting brighter as time goes on. Once upon a time, 500-lumen lights were the bomb, and everyone thought you would go blind if it were shined in your eyes. Now, the new standard for long-gun lights is 1,000 lumens. Even though this light is smaller than many long-gun-mounted lights, it still meets that standard. It has 1,000 lumens of bright white light.<\/p>\n

It will run for 1.5 hours on two CR123 batteries, which come included with the light. CR123A batteries are also the current standard in weapon-mounted lights. They are easy to find and relatively cheap for the power they produce. I keep a set of CR123 batteries in my range bag and the grip of my rifle.<\/p>\n

Made from machined aircraft aluminum, the TLR RM 2<\/a> is rugged but only weighs 4.6 ounces with batteries installed. It is designed to be mounted on the Picatinny rail of the rifle and uses a rear power switch. One thing I like about the TLR RM 2 is the tail switch rests at an upward angle. This makes it perfect for your thumb to rest on while gripping the handguard.<\/p>\n

A selector switch is on the side of the light allows you to select one of three operational settings, which include:<\/p>\n
