flashlight/weaponlight?
« on: December 25, 2009, 04:07:27 PM »
I'd like to get a white light that will fit into a GG&G "SLiC Thing" mount on my M4gery.
I'd rather not spend a fortune as I seem to be doing that on ammo and I'd like it to have a remote switch....(is that a good idea?)
Any input?
Best Wishes, Mike.

I put a Streamlight TLR-1 on my shotgun.   I really like it and think that Streamlight is a good value.  While I haven't tried a remote switch, I don't particularly like the idea of running neked wires down the stock.   It may work very well and Streamlight offers a remote switch for its lights.   In my case the switch on the back of the light falls right where my left hand grips the stock, so it's almost a natural to turn on the light.  No remote required.

You can always get a light without the remote switch then upgrade it if you think you need it.

I shopped around found a $360 weapons light used on Ebay :-[ with a mount for under $60 and then spent another $65 @ surefire on a remote switch. That's what I'd try to do if I were you.

I recently bought a Primary Arms Ultimate Weapon Light and am quite pleased with it.

NcStar has some very reasonably priced options.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
