Where's your weapon light

[geezerbutler]

Attached to my Surefire M500A...which puts it at about the 2'oclock position.

CitizenSoldier, how do you like the Surefire M500A? I'm on the fence about getting one of these and slapping it on my 6920 or my 6933.

I just want at least one traditional carbine (NO VFG) with a light.

I like mine at 12 o'clock.........lights up the target evenly.

I use Cheapo lights that I got from A&N that work really well using AA's and mounted in Wallyworld 1 inch scope rings. On my AR its at 3 o'clock, the button right at my thumb. My AK is @ 6 o'clock, again, right @ my thumb since I have a 9 0'clock offset forward grip.

9 o'clock for me...no tape switch.

Its a great setup, and I love it. You get much more light than with a G2 or X300 and the beam is tight, allowing illumination up to (for me) about 100 yards. The LEDs on the side provide the perfect amount of "stealthy" lighting to find a door-handle, check terrain, etc. The only downside I can think of is that it doesn't allow for the use of a vertical foregrip due to the design of the pressure switches. The double heat shields keep the grip cool, even under sustained semi-auto fire. A great all-around light IMHO.

I find mine to be easy to manipulate with it in the 3 o'clock position. Light has a momemtary push button on the tailcap, and I activate it with the side of my left hand, which is wrapped around the foregrip:

G2L's at 11 o'clock on VTAC mounts.

+1 - same for me.

Could you guys post a pic of this setup?

I've gotten used to mine at 9 o'clock when I have rails






I'm toying with the FSB mount when I don't have rails









So far I like it better than mounting it to hte M4 handguards.






On the AK, there aren't too many options really. (I've since gone to a Vltor offset mount that puts the light in almost exactly the same place)
