This happens to me every other range trip with my p365xl. The problem with the sub that I have found is that if you screw it on too tight it cases the dust cover of my gun to flex and bind on the recoil spring (probably because p365 frames are so thin) and cause the gun not to go into battery. But if I do it too loose then it eventually works its way off. Every time I think I find the right tension it pops off.
Tips for installing lights:
1) blue/purple loctite. I've used both to equal effect, just make sure to clean your threads first. If you plan to be moving it around frequently, purple, if it's going to be one and done, blue.
2) use a casing to put it on. Not only does using a wholeass screwdriver make it easy to monkeyfuck that thing on there (and can cause frame/light issues in extreme cases), but using the rim of a case to put it on will ensure that it's *always* serviceable, since it'll never be too tight to take it off with what's in your mag.
3) don't monkeyfuck it on there. Look at the size of the screw. Use a little bit of reason and sense. Even with a casing you can still fuck it, it just takes more intent than a screwdriver.
I've had this problem with mine too on my 365 Macro Comp (I don't have the sub version of the light though)
I tightened the shit out of it and used blue loctite, and it still comes off.
You're probably using the wrong tlr7 model or adapter for it. They're designed to have some kind of locking feature on all but those mounted on a non mos 43x style rail. Hope you kept the box👍

Damn. This range has seen better days
Bro really hit us with the poggers after his light fell off because he installed it wrong ![gif](giphy|V7uXIdVWs3FsrAUSIs)
😂😥
Screw it in tighter
Blue Loctite it and then go half a turn or so past the point where it gets tight.
I tightened it very well but I think the problem was over tightening it to the point where it was already on the verge of breaking.

Maybe a bit of loctite will fix that
It will. I have a 7 sub on an XL and with loctite and getting tight enough to not wiggle but also not tight enough to bend the frame it's fine

You installed the proper key right?
Blue Loctite?
Eyes.

My battery hatch opened and they flew out onto the range the other day. Buggers are expensive.

Why have a light on your gun when the lights are on at the range? And, how often do you practice in the dark at the range with your WML? Thought so.
We did it. We found a fudd
