This video introduces GlockStore's new rail adapter system designed for sub-compact and older Glock models lacking factory rails. It addresses the limitation of low-lumen trigger-guard-mounted lights like the Streamlight TLR-6 by enabling the use of higher-output rail-mounted lights such as the TLR-7 (500 lumens) and TLR-8. The installation process is demonstrated on a Glock 43, and tactical light techniques are explained.

Quick Summary

Glock sub-compacts often lack accessory rails. GlockStore's rail adapters attach to the frame and trigger guard, enabling the use of high-output lights like the 500-lumen Streamlight TLR-7 and TLR-8, overcoming the 100-lumen limit of trigger-guard-only lights.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I add a tactical light to a Glock 43 or similar sub-compact model?

You can add a tactical light by using a rail adapter system, such as the Glock Compact & Over Rail Adapters from GlockStore. These attach to the frame and trigger guard, providing a Picatinny rail for lights like the Streamlight TLR-7 or TLR-8.

What are the limitations of lights designed for sub-compact Glock trigger guards?

Lights designed specifically for the trigger guard of sub-compact Glocks, like the Streamlight TLR-6, are typically limited to around 100 lumens. This output is often considered insufficient compared to modern rail-mounted tactical lights.

What is the lumen output of the Streamlight TLR-7 and TLR-8?

The Streamlight TLR-7 and TLR-8 tactical lights both offer a significantly higher output of 500 lumens. The TLR-8 also includes an integrated laser for aiming assistance.

Which Glock models are compatible with the Glock Compact & Over Rail Adapters?

The Glock Compact & Over Rail Adapters are compatible with several Glock models, including the Glock 42/43, Glock 26/27, and older Gen 1 Glock 17/19 models that originally did not have accessory rails.
