Streamlights- TLR-1 or 1S?
Both are 160 lumens, same thing except the 1S has a strobe function. Midway has the 1S on a black friday sale at the same price as the 1, normally $20 more (with dealer discount). I like the idea of having the strobe option. My hesitation in deciding between them is because of some reviews on the 1S complaining of difficulty using the strobe mode. Simplicity of use should be key in these things. Does anyone have experience with 1S? Opinions of it vs the original?
By the way, purpose is to mount on a Glock for HD use.

Never had to use a weapon light in a real defensive situation, but after some practice with the 1S I think it's an brilliant solution to a non-existent question.

I would say for SD/HD, the normal TLR-1 would be superb.
I am still not crazy about handgun mounted lights, however perhaps soon as an accessory on a LE issue M-16 as well as a laser.
