Overview
Built for Glock 43x and 48 pistols with a rail, this compact light-and-laser unit is intended to add illumination and aiming support without adding much bulk to the firearm. It pairs a white LED with a red laser, giving you the option of light only, laser only, or a combined setup depending on the situation. The low-profile body, ambidextrous rear paddle switches, and safe-off feature are aimed at reducing snagging and helping prevent unintended activation. With IPx7 waterproofing and the included mounting kit and battery, it is set up for practical use on a sub-compact defensive pistol.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The TLR-8 SUB is built specifically for Glock 43x/48 models with rail, so it is not a universal fit for other sub-compact pistols.
- Its compact size and rail-mounted design help keep the profile low, but the light/laser package adds equipment to a pistol that may already have limited space and accessory compatibility.
- Runtime is 1.5 hours for light-only or light/laser use, while laser-only runtime is much longer, so the operating mode you choose has a meaningful impact on battery life.
- The unit uses a single CR-123A battery, so keeping a spare on hand is worth considering for extended range sessions or duty use.
