Default TSW rail compatible lights?

So the general consensus on the early TSW rails seems to be that they were unsightly, fragile, and otherwise a literal bolted-on afterthought, but since I don't have access to the once-numerous CHP 4006s and I'm getting a 5906TSW soon, I'm just curious what lights actually work on them. Of current ones I'm only aware of the Streamlight TLRs having compatible rail keys but what else will work? Will the universal keys on Surefires X300s fit? What was commonly mounted on them when they were current issue?

Is the TSW rail non-standard in some way - if standard geometry pretty much anything should fit - Crimson Trace etc. Please advise if I am incorrect.
PS there was also a Grip mounted Crimson Trace red laser for the 59 series - I bought one off classifieds here a while back

If it has a riveted rail, the streamlight TRL should work with the TSWs adapter, most is set up for 1913 pic. Like the 4006TSW

Been meaning to try my wife's olight mini on my riveted rail. I would figure It'd work. She has hers on her PX4.

The O-light was not compatible with my 4013 TSW.

The O-light didn’t bolt up to my 4013TSW

I think I've fitted my Crimson Trace CMR-208 to mine just for fun but the best option is the Streamlight TLR-1.

To ACEd, yes the rail is non-standard. There is only one slot and it is not as wide as a 1913 slot, it's about the width of a Glock rail slot.

Finally picked it up today and I can confirm neither of my Surefire keys will work on it. Guess I'll pick up a cheap TLR-1 keyed to it at some point.
