Where do you mount your light’s pressure pad?

[BallisticHarmony]

Poll relates to specific position of the pressure pad, as opposed to the light or mount.

Personally I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on the Surefire 600DF + tape switch, Magpul offset mount and Magpul tape switch mounting plate at 10:30. The light will also be on the left side since I’ll be employing offset sights at 1:30. I’m definitely curious about the rest of the community, though.

Personally I like the 12:00 position but I currently have a 10.75" MLOK rail with a flip up front sight and 12:00 mounted PEQ-15 so I literally have no room for the tape switch on top. Having said that, I run my dual switch at the 9:00 position which I have become accustomed to and doesn't bother me but with my M300 at 3:00 and tape switch at 9:00, it makes my rail look "cluttered". My M300 is mounted on an offset mount which is at 4:30 putting my M300 right at 3:00. I did this because it looks more "flush" that mounting it directly to the 3:00 position.

No PEQ for me and since both my wife and I are right handed shooters, I like the light at 1:30 and the SR07 at 12:00, just behind the front sight if I have one. My DF will be here tomorrow so I'll post a picture then. Super ergonomic for me, obviously left isn't great but it is definitely doable. Only real downside is that I can't run offset irons with it.

Also what do you mean left isn’t great? Your left hand?

The way the gun is setup is for a right handed shooter. With the VFG that I have, when I shoot lefty, I basically have to grip the handguard around the light so it’s a bit awkward.

I like 12 o’clock so it can be accessed from both sides, with the exception of my precision shorty which doesn’t have the real estate.

I have a Cloud Defense LSC @ 12 o'clock, which is how I voted, but I also use a push button tail cap.

^ Ditto.....CDLCS about halfway down the rail at 12 o'clock. Arisaka M300 is in a Haley Thorntail mount at 10:30-11:00.

12 o'clock whenever possible.
