Great Light
"Great Light with a good price"
— BB (5/5)
Does NOT FIT on Glock rail?!?
"I purchased this for a Glock 35. It slid onto the rail but does not stay on because the tenon (plastic lug) on the light does not line-up to the notch in the Glock's rail. (Photos included, tenon/lug encircled for identification).
Glock's grip frame is stock/OEM so it has to be the light's manufacturing that is causing the misalignment (tenon and mortise misaligned).
I am at a loss between simply returning the product or making some modifications that will most definitely void any warranty, implied or otherwise.
I assume this would not be an issue with a surefire or a streamlight?"

Great value tactical light
"This is the second one I've purchased. For the price, you can't go wrong. My first one is going on over 3 years and still works great."

Fits Werkz and Blackhawk Omnivore
"Looking for a budget-friendly alternative to the Streamlight TLR-1? The LA Police Gear SlideRail XWL Tactical Strobe WeaponLight might be the perfect choice for your firearm setup. Whether you're mounting it on pistols, shotguns, or rifles, this light performs reliably across platforms.
From the moment I unboxed the LA Police Gear SlideRail XWL Tactical Strobe WeaponLight, I could tell this was a robust piece of equipment. The build quality feels solid, and the light's compact size makes it easy to mount on various firearms without feeling bulky.
Installation was straightforward across all platforms (9mm, .22 LR pistols, 12 GA shotguns, and .223/5.56 rifles). However, one point to note is the rail retaining screw. Ensuring it's tightened securely is crucial for a firm hold on the light, especially under recoil. The safety-style screw requires some finesse, but with careful attention, it locks the light in place without issue.
During field testing, the SlideRail XWL Tactical Strobe performed excellently. The brightness is comparable to higher-end models, and the strobe function worked flawlessly. It held up well against recoil, even on a 12 GA shotgun, without loosening over time.
Pros:
- Affordable alternative to the Streamlight TLR-1.
- Solid build quality across various firearms.
- Compatible with popular holsters like Werkz and Blackhawk Omnivore.
- Reliable performance under recoil.
Cons:
- Safety-style rail screw can be tricky to tighten.
Overall, the LA Police Gear SlideRail XWL Tactical Strobe WeaponLight is an impressive option for budget-conscious firearm enthusiasts. With reliable performance, compatibility with various holsters, and a solid build, this light is a great addition to any home defense or tactical setup."
