The best CQB Light/AR setup??

[C4IGrant]

The problem with that setup (as with all pressure switches) is that you have a loose wire on your gun. It is vulnerable and easy to snag. Too bad they don't make a bluetooth version.

This is why you tie down the wires. Worse case is that you lose the wire and just fall back to turning the light on and off with the normal tailcap.

You do not mess with the rail adaptor (other than install the Picatinny plate in).

ok,i already have it mounted with the "P" latch installed...so i should be GTG then yes?

thanks.

How much $$$ for a combo of the XT07 switch and X300 light?

So those must be the new version of those switches.

I like the idea of the 12 o'clock mounting position, but frankly, I think I'll wait and see if these switches hold up before declaring this a winning set-up. I had two of the first versions of the SR07 and neither of them survived a single trip in the range bag before the switches broke in the exact same places.

Since I had to wait a year (and counting) for Surefire to actually replace mine, I think I'll hesitate on jumping on the bandwagon on these for a while. Is the tab that holds the switch shut still plastic?

I wonder when my replacements will show up?

After almost 13 months, my replacements did show up. Based on what I am looking at, the difference that took a year to redesign is only that they added a thin strip of metal to reinforce the tab that broke off of both of mine. It looks to be an improvement, but I think time will tell. These will probably work fine mounted at 12 o'clock. In my opinion (and experience) the top of the rifle takes less of a beating that the sides or the bottom. Mine were mounted at 3 o'clock because I have a FSB. Mounted at 3 o'clock, as I said, both of mine broke off in the range bag.

Grant and GotM4,

What length rails are you guys using on your setups?

I generally always try and use either a 9" or a 10" rail system.

I see no need for the remote switch and view it as a liability more than anything else. Not to mention you can keep your front BUIS further forward without it.

I wish they made a brighter or longer-throw head for the X300 though.

While I am not a HUGE fan of tape switches, I like this one a lot. If it does go down or break, you have a back up.

Your BUIS are just that, back ups. It doesn't really matter where they are (as you are not going to be shooting high power matches).

I don't know how much CQB (inside a shoot house) night fighting you have done, but the X300 is just about the perfect amount of throw and coverage for this type of thing (which is where the majority of ALL shootings go down).
