Default Rail mount light for M&P Compact

Hello All-

Happy New Year!

Looking for recommendations for a USA-made light similar to the Streamlight TLR 4.

Compact Tactical Light with Aiming Laser | TLR-4(R)

Thank you

What similarity are you expecting? Size, shape, buttons, beam distance or lumens?
And why not use TLR4 if this one works for you?

Thank you for the response. Although the Streamlight is fine, I'd rather purchase a product made in the USA.

Have you looked at Surefire? I really like their quality.
I was curious so I looked, their web site states:
"Many SureFire products are completely made in the USA. Some are almost completely made in the USA, but have imported components"

With a laser:

X400 Ultra | LED Handgun or Long Gun WeaponLight with Laser | SureFire

without a laser (on my M&P M2.0 9mm compact)

X300U-A | Ultra-High-Output LED Handgun WeaponLight | SureFire

some others here:

WeaponLights | SureFire

Thanks for the reply. I'll research further.

The TLR-4 on Amazon says country of origin is China.

If you feel bad about it, just go directly to Steamlight's distributor.
Do you really think that other manufacturer, who advertises "Made in USA" gets the parts and electronics from USA?
Streamlight get their products "Assembled In The USA" which makes them American made from non American parts. Almost the same as "Made in USA". Believe me... these are words only. Small electronic is built the way that its production costs the minimum available at that moment.
