    Weapon Light?

    Hey All!
    So...once again I am in need of some suggestions! I am looking for a weapon light and I will take any recomendations. I havent had one on the AR so that leaves me unbiased and completly open to any...no vert grip combos...seeing as I already have TVG mounted. Thanks in advance...

    What is the max range that you believe that you will engage a target?

    Grant has it right.

    I had one of his lights which was more than adequate for indoors




    but this gun is shot mostly outdoors, so I upgraded

    Rob,
    How do you activate the flashlights in that position?

    I get asked that so often I think I'm going to have to get a pic of me shooting that way.

    Hold the magwell, thumb on the port side of the rifle.

    Right now though I have a vertical foreward grip on it because I'm trying a two-point sling and it interferes with the light.

    Alright, you need an indoor light for home defense I am guessing. I would then look at going with a 6V light (between 65 Lumens and 100).

    The next question, is your budget. What dollar amount would you like to stay within. No need for me to list $400 dollar lights if you only want to spend $65.

    Under stress or just not paying attention, your thumb could ride up and hit the bolt catch.

    Mags are also very finicky things. Applying pressure to them (on purpose or not), could affect reliability.
