Streamlight TLR-1s Mount for Remingtom 870

[Captains1911]

Can somebody recommend a TLR-1s light mount for an 870 Express Synthetic, 18" BBL with extended mag tube?

I would like one that works with the Glock style rail locking key on the Streamlight, that way I could easily switch the light back and forth from my pistol to shotgun.

I found these two:

Any idea if that will work with the Glock (universal) rail locking key on the Streamlight? The Glock key fits onto a 1913 rail, it's the correct height, only it's narrower than the rail slot allowing the light to move forwards and backwards some. I assume it would still work as long as the light is mounted all the way forward in the slot?

Pretty sure the CDM mount is a standard picatinny/ 1913 rail.

Why the need to interchange with the glock? Is this a duty type item or an application where the key could be swapped when you swap it between guns?

I want to be able to easily swap the light between guns. Having to change the key every time is is a PITA, I'd rather just buy a second light if that's the case.

oops, double

Another simple option is a short section of the Falcon Ergo polymer rail attached directly to the fore end. Just long enough to mount the light. This way the light follows your hand as you rack the weapon. Some of the streamlight mounts have sharp edges and I have seen folks get bit when manipulating the shotgun quickly in the dark under stress.

How would the rail attach the fore end?

that first one looks PERFECT.




I was literally minutes away from buying the one below before I saw this post.


I like the one with the stop though, ordering now, thanks!

I have this one:

And I also have a streamlight TLR1 mounted on it. With the Glock insert you can get a solid mount just fine. Unfortunately though, these kind of lights wont work on the side rails because of the screws sticking out, but they could easily be modified.
