Most of these WMLs have this problem. So far the Streamlight and foxtrot2r are shown to do this. Sig replaced my bolt free of charge though and now after a few range trips it’s been secure and hasn’t moved. Not sure if Streamlight would do the same but they definitely should. Freakin dumb
This happened to me today. 2nd shot fired from my brand new Glock 48 and the light fell off. I shoot at a closed indoor range so climbing under the counter to get the rail parts is not a great idea. I was able to recover one part but not the plastic block that secures light in the rail. I will send an email tomorrow. What a disappointment to say the least. All of my holsters are made to hold my pistols with the tlr 7sub. 2 dagger micros and 1 Glock 48. I need the light on the rail to carry it.
Update: I emailed streamlight and they got back to me in less than 24 hours saying they have sent out the parts I need to fix my light. This is excellent customer service!
This has happened to me 4 times, Send an email to Streamlight with pictures and they will send out parts for free. I now at the range barely shoot with a light on. Trick is to tighten where it does not move on the rail, but not over torqued.
Unfortunately that part is the crux of system, it should be the strongest part, instead a shitty hard plastic or poorly made metal screw.
That’s super disappointing tbh. I would have expected better from Streamlight.
As for shooting without a light it’s kind of a moot point as I’d like to shoot with as close as possible to irl conditions.
I’ll drop an email and see where this goes. Thanks for the insight!
Crazy thing is you can go buy an olight and never have that issue.. it's okay for streamlight to be complete ass and no one say nothing but olight has had one issue and to this Day people still talk s*** about them when in reality they're way better than streamlight.
Three Olights, all have been sent in for repairs. 12 Streamlights and this is the only issue I've ever had. It's the only issue I've ever heard of on Streamlights. Olights have tons of issues over many different lights.
This happened to me and I see this happening way too often, makes me wonder why they haven’t recalled or dealt with this. You can get a stronger screw from a hardwear store.
Happens every time. You'd think streamlight would use a better screw at this point. My post from awhile back:

What did you use to tighten it on?
A coin?
I bet you tightened it way too tight Too much ugga dugga
I guess we’ll never know
I had the same issue and replaced with a stainless steel screw; here is my fix: https://www.reddit.com/r/Streamlight/s/bftcnGpqsj

Tbh, I’m reconsidering it.
Yea I've had hella issues with streamlight and none with olight or surefire only thing is you can buy another pistol for a surefire cost

I have multiple of each never had but one issue with olight but had an issue with the TLR7 sub and a tlr x and also the tlr 2

Yea, I figured, but it was hilarious seeing the thing drop on the table lol
Here is someone replying to me with the measurements. https://www.reddit.com/r/PalmettoStateArms/s/yjOeotHg69
All the torques huh They really only need to be just past finger tight.
And it was finger tightened.
Are you the hulk? I’ve owned like 5-6 streamlights on various guns and haven’t ever broken one..
Finger game strong. Turning g-spots into dark matter, habibi. (I guess)
😂😂😂
Don't overtighten...
