Help me with chosing a light
I have an ar pistol that needs a weapon light, its my bedside gun and stays cocked and locked. It has the magpul pro buis, and an aimpoint PRO. On the bottom side of the picture I have a streamlight pistol light on it, and want a better set up. With the rails and where the handstop is how and where would you suggest putting a light, and what light? Will the REIN work on it? I just bought an okw modlite for my other carbine for the long throw. Any sugestions are apreciated.

You have to ask yourself the question, If you have to do a bi-lateral transition and shoot with your left hand, how will you activate the light?
Right thumb? Talking without a button… which I really only use with Scout lights (and tend to keep those on 16” carbines).
I run my pistol lights on larger firearms usually on the 9:00 position. Support/left hand… thumb is fine. Trigger finger on reverse (right as support) also works.
I do have a few where I run it on 3:00, mainly to prevent sling conflicts… but it doesn’t hinder me that much. If I can run it on 9:00, I prefer to… since folding stocks or braces take up similar offset behind it.
For the OP, Magpul 5-slot polymer rail and a TLR-1 HL. Done.
