Another 12 o'clock light mount...

[Street Survival]

Hey Guys,

I'm all set to take the Vickers/Hackathorn Low Light Course in early May, but I desprately need a tape switch for my SureFire, Model 300.

Of course, SureFire says they have none available with no ETA. Does anyone have any ideas, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for your help.

Before you buy that tape switch, can you position your light so that you can bump the rocker switch with a thumb or knuckle?

Hi TheKatar,

It would be very tuff as the mount is forward of the front sight. I need the tape switch, therefore I think I'm screwed.

A pic would help...



I am assuming you do not hold your support hand that far out on the gun?

[Street Survival]

Affirmative. Any ideas???

Yes.

Start holding your support hand that far out on the gun! Use your support thumb to bump the rocker switch!

I understand what you are saying but I don't think it will work. #1 the barrel will be hot and it's unnatural to reach out that far. I need a better option. I appreciate your input.

Why don't you attach one of these to your front sight tower and put your x300 sideways on it?

Hi TheKatar,

You have given a viable plan B. Thank you very much.

I have already purchased the Hahn Precision rail for the barrel and I was looking to utilize it at the perferred 12 o' Clock position, but without the tape switch your method should work nicely.

Is the MI Tactical Mount the best to get if I go that route?

I was screwing around with a Sporter Lightweight in this pic:



the setup is very viable, just loctite it.
