12 o' clock???? Why would you do that?

That position is increasingly looking like the most effective overall...

It is ideal. With the light mounted at any other position around the clock shooting around barricades can become problematic. Try shooting around a left hand barricade with the light at 3 o'clock and you'll either have to expose a few more inches of yourself and your gun or you'll accidently splash light against the barricade and illuminate yourself and lose your night vision. Same with right hand and 9 o'clock or over the top of a barricade and the 6 o'clock.

I've been using this setup for a month or so. I like it...

I'm running a M900 so 6 o'clock is the way I go. I know it's not the best thing to use off a sand bag or barricade, but I make it work. I like the fact that the light is out of my way and has the Nav LEDs. I used them alot in Iraq. I don't have to deal with any cords to get tangled or broken. I know the M900 is expensive...I mean REALLY expensive, but it was worth the cash.

Preferred


But it has it's disadvantages. Particularly should I switch to wrong handed.
