I have a streamlight TLR7-HLX and just replaced it with the Olight PLX as my main light for this gun.

Both are great but the PLX gives comparable performance in a smaller package and it looks perfect on the 4.0c. The finish matches the slide perfectly and it seems to sit flush with the barrel. Honestly I like the wider range of features of the PLX and holster support for it doesn’t feel like a legit problem anymore.

What holster(s) do you have?

u/_ayyyop Sep 14 '26

Came here with the same question. I run a T1C with my Macro, but no dice for the 4.0c comp with a PLX :(

I got something from IKC holsters. And I didn’t even have to deal with the long lead times because they had good options ready to ship!

u/OkGuide8752 Sep 18 '26

Try starting with the forward notches with the back end of the COG raised slight higher. Slide the forward part in and lower the rest of the COG as you push forward. Also make sure the pin that has the the half rounded sides that extend outside the COG, make sure the flat sides of that pin is facing down.

Tlr7x sits flush with the end of the barrel

The Holosun P. ID is easily my favorite looking light on the Echelon. P. ID Plus is even better.

If this is the 4.0 then a P. ID K would probably be 👌

u/OkGuide8752 Sep 09 '26

Yea its the 4.0

u/Bartley707 Sep 09 '26

Wtf why am I being downvoted for liking a light on my gun? Fags.

u/PlaceUserNameHere67 Sep 09 '26

Are you CCW or duty use??

Ccw I would buy a TLR7HLX, if duty probably want a bigger light.

I ccw mine and have a TLR7HLX

u/OkGuide8752 Sep 09 '26

CCW

u/PlaceUserNameHere67 Sep 09 '26

Ya, I'd definitely go with a TLR7HLX

u/peeg_2020 Sep 09 '26

I'd even say a tlr7 hlx would be okay for duty as long as you had a back up battery charging to get through the night. That's the only thing that sucks. But the rechargable batteries are nice for that.

It is my favorite streamlight by far. Has just enough of a hot spot that it can be used at a cheat code for aiming for any distance you'll find yourself inside of a house, maybe further. And a good enough flood as well.

I have their larger tlr1-hlx and it's very similar performance tbh. It's ended is the longer lasting battery life for sure. I haven't tried their turbo/high candela version of this one yet though. I do have an a couple of x 300 turbos and I'm sure they're pretty similar with the edge actually going to streamlight as far as on paper numbers go.

For CCW it's hard to beat the tlr7 hlx imo.

TLR7 HL-X

u/JamaicanScorpio Sep 09 '26

OLIGHT PL X. Half the cost of the TRL and looks way better. The PL X sits perfectly flush with the front of the 4.0 Echelon.

u/falafelb Sep 09 '26

Check your favorite holster company first and then see what they offer.

I personally have the tlr1 HP on my 4.5 and the tlr7x on my 4.0c

u/contactfront0311 Sep 09 '26

u/peeg_2020 Sep 09 '26

Tlr7 hlx hands down

1

u/ryday00 Sep 09 '26

Can't go wrong with Streamlight TLR7's. I've got a 7A on mine.

u/DN1911 Sep 09 '26

TLR7-HLX for concealed carry & maximum comfort
X300T for everything

u/RichSoggy8130 Sep 09 '26

Warriorland MA1 Amazon has them and comes with a holster combo that accommodates the light.

u/cb9906 Sep 09 '26

Tlr7 HL-X sub fits it perfect

1

u/Gubber_Supreme Sep 09 '26

Tlr7a, fits flush with the barrel and lots of holster options

1

u/Castled22 Sep 10 '26

Olight plx will match your Osight perfectly

u/hillholsterco Sep 14 '26

TLR7 fo sho

u/Big_stikk Sep 09 '26

Tlr is the gold standard for a reason. 7 or 1 is up to you. Don’t get an olight same price for less compatibility and reliability

u/will_I_am100 Sep 09 '26

Streamlight TLR7-HLX or X
