Nightstick has just released two new 650-lumen, pistol-mounted light models, the new TCM-365, which is meant for use with the popular SIG Sauer P365 family of compact carry pistols and the TCM–5B, which is meant for other “slimline” compact carry pistols such as the the railed versions of the Glock G43/G48 family, the Springfield Hellcat family and the larger SIG Sauer P365 X-Macro models.

TCM-365 and TCM-5B Light Specifications:

  • 6061-T1 aircraft grade aluminum housing construction with type III hardcoat anodizing
  • Ambidextrous controls
  • TIR lens 
  • LED beam technology powered by one CR123 battery (included)
  • Waterproof, chemical resistant and impact resistant
  • User programmable strobe and battery safe modes
  • Momentary or constantly on beam with an ability to focus at 136 meters
  • Fits the P365 dust cover specifically

The TCM-5B has the same specifications as with TCM-365, with the difference is that its rail interface is intended to work with other popular slimline handgun models including the most popular ones on the market today.

“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. “These handgun owners and concealed carry practitioners will now benefit from the powerful 650-lumen beam and intuitive rear-facing switches from our TCM-365 and 5B for threat identification and confirmation, when life depends on light."

Both of these new Nightstick models include a limited lifetime warranty. For more information on the TCM-365 or TCM-5B please visit nightstick.com.
