TLR-7 on a P-01

Here she is, in all her glory! Love the light except for the switch. It seems like someone with an entrepreneurial spirit would be able to make money on a new set of paddle switches.

Looks good! What grips are those? They look amazing.

I heard some early versions had light flickering issues when firing. Have you experienced that?

I have one mounted on my Centurion Tactical, I really like the light weight and compact size. So far I've shot 250 mixed rounds of 124gr and 147gr target and defense ammo with the light installed. No problems with the light and it's stayed tight even without the locking "C" clip installed.

I have a Streamlight TLR-7 mounted on my P-07.  I ordered it from Amazon in March, and it did have the flicker problem when it was new from the box, whenever dry firing or racking the slide.  I contacted Streamlight, and they sent me a new cap with a much firmer spring, within one week.  Since then, I have put around 800 various rounds through two different P-07's with it attached, and no issues.

The switches could be better, but I find that I can easily toggle it with my support hand thumb, or ride it with that thumb as I am live firing.

My other issue was finding a decent kydex IWB holster for the pistol and light combination.  I ordered one off of Amazon from Neptune Concealment, their "Triton" series.  The overall quality is decent, but I did have to remove about a quarter inch of kydex from my strong (left) hand side near the trigger guard to get a decent firing grip.  I also put Vibra-Tite VC-3 on the screws and some foam rubber tape over the backs of the chicago screws, which is something I have also done to my other IWB kydex holsters.
