Nightstick Introduces the TCM-365 and TCM-5B Narrow Rail Lights

It seems that everything is getting more compact these days, and that is good news for concealed carry. However, that also means that accessories, like pistol lights, have to do the same to accommodate. For this reason, Nightstick releases the TCM-365 and TCM-5B narrow rail lights for compact handguns. Providing a 650-lumen beam, the pair offers compatibility with a host of compact pistols.

Constructed of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with type III hard anodized finish, the lights are drop rated for 2 meters. In addition, an IPX7 waterproof rating will allow the lights to be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes and still operate. As a result, the TCM-365 and TCM-5B can withstand hard use in inclement conditions.

Featuring ultra-performance LEDs and optimized TIR lenses, the lights deliver a 650-lumen beam for up to 136 meters. Operated by a rear-facing ambidextrous toggle switch, the TCM-365 and TCM-5B provide momentary or constant on engagement. However, a user-programmable ON/OFF strobe mode offers a disorienting strobe option as well.

Running on a single CR123 lithium battery, the lights provide a high runtime of 2 hours. Correspondingly, the toggle switch also features a “Safe Mode” battery lockout to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation. In addition, even with the battery installed, the TCM-365 and TCM-5B weigh a lightweight 2.2 ounces.

The TCM-365 is designed specifically for the SIG P365 family and utilizes a unique rail clamp. It is engineered specifically to lock into the proprietary slots on each side of the P365, X, XL, SAS, 380, and Specter Comp frames.

Similarly, the TCM-5B includes two additional handgun-specific rail inserts. As a result, it can accommodate a host of narrow-rail compact pistol models. These include models from Glock, SIG Sauer, Heckler & Koch, Ruger, Shadow Systems, Smith & Wesson, Beretta, Springfield, Walther, Stoeger, Taurus, and 1913 short/narrow-railed subcompact handguns.

Availability

The Nightstick TCM-365 and TCM-5B narrow rail compact handgun lights are available now, with an MSRP of $210.90 for each model. For more info, please visit Nightstick.com.

“Nationwide we’ve continued to see data indicating consumers are moving towards more compact EDC pistols from major brands, especially narrow frame models with increased round capacity that rival standard width compact pistol models from a decade ago. That strategic decision to reduce weight and bulk for a daily-carry pistol shouldn’t penalize buyers who still prioritize a weapon light as part of their carry setup with limited options,” says Brian Whalen, Public Safety Marketing Manager for Nightstick.
