How big is it?

[Glock 'em down]

I'm wanting to mount a classic Surefire G2 to my shotgun using a simple scope ring.

My question is - is the G2 truly a 1 inch diameter light? Or is it more of a 30mm in diameter?

I don't have any calipers to measure.

Also...I'm wanting to install a single stage drop in. About 200 lumens Max. Who makes a good one?

Thanks in advance. :grin2:

I'm assuming you already own an incan. Surefire G2? If not then skip the drop in and buy a surefire g2x pro or tactical.

According to the packaging, the G2X is not recommended as a weapon light.

according to Google's calculator function, 30mm is 1.1811 inches, so maybe most gun mounts are tolerant of that difference?

Most are not that tolerant.

And you want a weapon light, as recoil, etc, can hammer other lights to pieces...not to mention getting whacked as you leap through windows, etc.



:D

It's 1" nominal. I just measured one at 1.026" at its widest point on the body.

As far as the drop-in is concerned, it's Malkoff all the way. One of the M61L (or M61LL) versions should get you around 200 lumens OTF.
