What switch do you use? Are there aftermarket switches that work or only streamlight ones will work?
GenericUsername817@reddit (OP)
Link is in my comment. It is a streamlight endcap
palindromemike@reddit
Yes I looked at both link, was wondering if you were running a pressure switch with it and if so which one? Dont know if any aftermarket pressure switch would work either so was wondering if you had any experience with that. Thanks!
GenericUsername817@reddit (OP)
i am using a Streamlight monentary on pressure switch.

I'm convinced this thing is made in the same factory as the TLR-1.
Mr_Rogers_not_Fred@reddit
I'd bet a significant sum that it is NOT.
Whole-Lingonberry-74@reddit
You might be right, but I've seen tests of it being severely abused and surviving.
MrNakedPanda@reddit
Would be great to test that myself if the stores locally EVER had it in stock
shadow0rm@reddit
So... i called my local store since they also are always out of stock... apparently they will be until the "lawsuit" clears.
GunsAndWrenches2@reddit
No. They made yet another change, they are currently being rolled out, my store got 48 in last week.
TaeTwoTimes@reddit
What coast are you on? Mine said they have none and none are coming
GunsAndWrenches2@reddit
No coast lol.
They will get them eventually, but stores never know what they have coming until the manifest for the truck is generated (a few days before it arrives)
TaeTwoTimes@reddit
I just bought one off eBay lol I seen your gen 3 comparisons. Rather have the 2
GunsAndWrenches2@reddit
I have 2 of the g2, they fit perfectly in TLR-1 holsters, I have one g3 that I haven't even opened yet, but I'm sure it will still work in the holsters.
MrNakedPanda@reddit
That makes a lot of sense. I didn’t realize there was an active suit against them
GunsAndWrenches2@reddit
There's not, it was about the silver ring that the very first version had, my store never received any of those, we got a few of the second version which was the exact same just without the silver ring, and now the third version with the knurled head (pictured here) is being distributed.
notoriousbpg@reddit
OG silver ring gang here
GenericUsername817@reddit (OP)
I picked up 2 at my local HF yesterday. More cosmetic charges, so call them 3rd gen.

Can harbour freight just make a budget AR15 and pump shotgun. Sell them as a package for 199$
EstablishmentFull797@reddit
No, because of how hard it is to import Norinco products to the US
MoneyElk@reddit
Smooth bore shotguns imported from China are not banned as long as they're not from a sanctioned entity (like Norinco). That's why we had cools Saiga clones like the Lynx 12 for $300.
NEp8ntballer@reddit
Just sell it as part of the Icon line made in Taiwan.
Minuhmize@reddit
It would basically just be PSA. Now, if harbor freight were to start stocking PSA items…
Grand_Cookie@reddit
I literally check every day to see if there’s one around here in stock and have for months now
GenericUsername817@reddit (OP)
All the stores around me just restocked all of these new 3rd generation version.
Cuts on the sides and a checkered bezel
Sasquatch1916@reddit
Can you post pics of the sides and whatever else changed with this version?
GenericUsername817@reddit (OP)
Top: 2nd Gen Bottom: 3rd gen
iratethisa@reddit
I just bought 2 in San Marcos last week and they look like the 2nd gen
GenericUsername817@reddit (OP)
Sasquatch1916@reddit
I'm glad I bought a second gen
GenericUsername817@reddit (OP)
RandoAtReddit@reddit
What's retail on these?
Diligent-Parfait-236@reddit
Confidence inspiring.
GunsAndWrenches2@reddit
Cosmetic changes;
Lawsuit version
Same, but without the silver ring on the head
Knurled head
StressfulRiceball@reddit
Just buy it from their site. It's $10 shipping but still very well worth the cost.
RandoAtReddit@reddit
HF website tells me in store only.
StressfulRiceball@reddit
Rip, that's how I got my two Gen 1s :(
GunsAndWrenches2@reddit
Online availability is weird with HF, it will come back to the website eventually.
Big-Doughnut8307@reddit
Do they fit TLR1 pistol holsters?
GenericUsername817@reddit (OP)
It does in the kydex holster i have
Weird_Affect_1654@reddit
As if it could get better?
