RAIL KEY INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
THE TLR MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE FIREARM BEFORE THIS PROCEDURE CAN BE PERFORMED.
The TLR-7
sub and TLR-8
®
is currently only applicable to the 1913 short model. If the key installed on the unit is not correct, select a key that
will securely attach your TLR to the weapon with special regard for: width of key and rail slot, operation of the switch,
and non-interference with the trigger guard, etc. Refer to the Compatibility List for configurations that are tested and
approved by Streamlight. Models other than the 1913 short are shipped with the firearm specific key and rail clamp
installed and no additional keys.
A KEY MUST BE USED OR THE TLR WILL SLIDE OFF THE WEAPON RAIL UNDER RECOIL.
