Streamlight 69419 TLR-8 Sub Red Laser 500 Lumens, 640-660nM, 141m Beam, Fits Springfield Hellcat Handgun Rail Clamp, Black

The Streamlight TLR-8 Sub is a compact rail-mounted tactical light and laser combo built for subcompact handguns like the Springfield Hellcat. If you carry or shoot a modern micro-compact pistol, this dual-function unit puts both illumination and targeting capability within reach without adding significant bulk or weight. The 500-lumen white LED output cuts through low-light conditions with a 141-meter beam distance, while the red laser (640–660 nM) gives you a secondary aiming reference—especially useful for close-quarters work or when a fast sight picture matters.

The TLR-8 Sub mounts directly to your Hellcat's rail with a secure clamp system that never requires your hands in front of the muzzle. Its ambidextrous paddle switches accommodate either shooting hand, and Streamlight included interchangeable rear switch options so you can tailor the activation to your preference. The light runs roughly 1.5 hours on a single CR123A battery (included), while the laser alone extends to 60 hours—a meaningful difference if you drill with the laser but don't always need the LED. A safe-off feature on the bezel prevents accidental activation in the holster.

Built from anodized aluminum and weighing just 2.77 ounces, the TLR-8 Sub is rugged enough for daily carry or range duty. It's rated IPX4 water-resistant and includes a user-enabled strobe function for tactical situations. This is a no-compromise choice for anyone who wants both light and laser on a concealed-carry pistol without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the TLR-8 Sub fit my Springfield Hellcat?

Yes. The TLR-8 Sub is designed to mount directly to the Hellcat's rail via a secure clamp system. The supplier description also notes compatibility with other subcompact platforms including GLOCK 43X/48 (MOS and RAIL versions), SIG SAUER P365/P365 XL, and select other short-railed subcompacts—but verify your exact model before purchase.

How long do the batteries last?

The white LED and laser together run approximately 1.5 hours before the battery is depleted. If you use only the laser, runtime extends to about 60 hours. One CR123A lithium battery is included with the unit.

Can I choose which paddle switch works for my shooting hand?

Yes. The TLR-8 Sub features ambidextrous rear paddle switches with interchangeable options, so you can customize the activation to match your dominant hand or preferred shooting style.

Is the light safe to leave on my holstered gun?

The TLR-8 Sub has a safe-off feature on the bezel that prevents accidental activation when holstered, so you don't have to worry about draining the battery or unintended activation during carry.
