The Streamlight TLR-6: Increase lethality of compact and sub-compact handguns
Streamlight is one of two companies I trust with my weapon lights. The TLR 1 is my home defense companion on my handgun, and now the Streamlight TLR 6 is riding tight on my SIG P365. The P365 has become my EDC gun and the addition of a light and laser truly makes it a […]

My current non-firearm everyday carry
