I bought a rail adapter for my glock 27 and I also bought a tlr 7x light but the keys won't fir will this key make the light fit
To ensure proper compatibility, please make sure you’re using the 1913 rail adapter for the TLR along with our TLR-7/8 1913 key.
Hi this key will fit a streamlight tlr 7 sub X in a glock 27 gen 3 with the recover rail ?
The key is only compatible with TLR-7, TLR-8, TLR-7 sub, and TLR-8 Sub.
I purchased a Recover Tactical Rail for a 43X (NON MOS). I attempted to install at TLR7SUB and it will not clamp onto the recover rail. The rail is too wide and the light clamp is not wide enough. In addition, a key is needed other than the one provided in order for the light to fully seat into the rail. Is there a way to work around this?
You’ll need the adapter key for it to work properly with our Recover Tactical Rail for the 43X. To ensure a proper fit, make sure to use the 1913 adapter for the TLR along with our TLR-7/8 1913 key.
When using the SHR9 rail with the Streamlight TLR-7 or TLR-8 (along with the proper key from Recover Tactical), do the clamps of the light fully attach to the rail, or is there any gap between the clamps and the rail itself?
The light should be fully attached to the rail. If there’s a slight gap, it is within spec and nothing to worry about. It should still function securely and as intended.
If I buy this item, would I still need the TLR-7 Sub for the 1911, or could I use it with a Glock or Hellcat and replace it with the part you sell?
Yes, you can use it with your Glock or Hellcat. To ensure a proper fit, please make sure to use the 1913 adapter for the TLR along with our TLR-7/8 Sub 1913 key.
What would I need to purchase to run my TLR 7 sub (1913s) on my PSA micro dagger?
I have a Glock 29 and just ordered the GR30 rail. I'm looking to run the Streamlight 7 or 8 sub. Does this key work or is there a different key for that pistol. I don't see the Glock 29 listed.
To ensure proper fitment, please make sure to use the 1913 adapter for the TLR along with our TLR-7/8 sub key.
I'm using a GR43-01 on a Glock 43X with a TLR-8 (not "SUB" version). Is the key the same for both the TLR-8 and TLR-8 Sub ?
The TLR8 and TLR8 Sub use different keys, so they are not interchangeable.
I have a shield plus l can I use any TLR-7 sub and will I need a key for all TLR-7 subs or just the 1913 version
You must use the TLR-7 SUB 1913s along with our TLR-7 SUB 1913s key.
The combination of the rail attachment and custom key worked perfectly with my S&W shield plus with a TLR7 Sub. No issues when firing and the light did not loosen during recoil.
Great to hear!

First, I bought the Recover rail for a Glock 26 and that fit like a glove. Highly recommend. When I bought the optional key to mount the TLR7 sub light to the rail, the key did not fit properly to the light. Apparently, mine was one of the rare cases where this happens. Owners of the company were very responsive by email, and it took some very light sanding of some key surfaces to get it to fit the flashlight. After just a few minutes of sanding followed by test fitting, it worked. Everything goes together beautifully now. I took away one star since I had to modify the product a little. Everything else is great.

The absolutely work to mate the TLR-7 to the P80SC, should anyone be curious.

It does what it's supposed to do!

If you are going to add a light or laser or both for a TLR7/TLR8 to a subcompact gun without a rail you will definitely need on of these keys. Don't learn the hard way like me and try to use one of the keys that came with the light/laser. When I ordered my second "Recover" rail adaptor I added one of these keys to the order. Works great.

M&P 9 Shield with the Recover SHR9 rail adapter paired with this key and a Streamlight TLR-7 makes an awesome combination. First class firearm accessories.

I recently bought this adapter key for my TLR8A. But not for use with a ReCover Tactical rail system. I bought it because I have a PX4 Compact Carry LTT. They have notoriously short rails and few lights fit and even less fit well. My wife bought me a TLR8A for Christmas thinking that since it was a smaller compact light that it would fit. Streamlight supplies 6 "keys" with the TLR7 and TLR8. They're basically adapter plates with cross lugs in different positions to fit different handgun rails. None of them fit the PX4 Compact, however one was close, but not quite. I didn't want the light to be just friction fit since I usually carry this gun every day in the winter. I came across ReCover Tactical's adapter key for their subcompact rails, and from the photos it looks like the cross lug was in the perfect location for what I needed. So I ordered one, got it a few days later and yep, the cross lug is in the perfect location. So now my PX4 Compact Carry has one of the best pistol lights on the market, it looks great on the gun and actually fits well, and it isn't just a friction fit.
