In the past I've run my lights at 12 o'clock or slightly to either side. During nightshoots I've noticed backscatter from the muzzle exhaust which can momentarily obscure the target.
Someone suggested mounting the light at 6 o'clock so the bbl shadow is straight up to avoid the exhaust backscatter effect. While this sounds intriguing, it would also necessitate a bayonet lug mount for my TLR-1 HL and that would transfer a lot of bbl heat directly to the TLR-1 HL.
So, does a 6 o'clock location reduce/eliminate backscatter and would a bayonet lug mount transfer enough heat to damage the TLR-1? Thx...
