I have revered my old 9P, but time to test against a new one.
75 Yards against an out building; the SL TL-3 is brighter, whiter, and generally superior to my old partner. Both were tested with fresh bulbs, and new 123's.
The SL TL's momentary is smoother, the rectangular knurling is superior (SF doesn't have any). The SL clip is useful, and without burrs or sharp edges.
A few years apart. I would never part with this particular 9P, but time marches on.
In a tactical (gun/police) situation, it wouldn't make a cat's hair difference in outcome, but the new TL-3 is better.
Bulbs for the TL are MUCH less expensive, and the TL carries a spare in the light.
