What weapon light are you using on your AR15?

[signal 13]

Surefire G2 with P61 and remote tape switch on a Vltor mount and Tango Down foregrip.

Buddy of mine is running the same setup but w/ a Malkoff M60. Great setup.

I love the M500s I'm running on two of my carbines. The only quad-railed rifle I have is my Noveske N4. Thinking about running that G2 setup to save on the weight & bulk of the M951 I have on there.

I run a G2 w/Spiderfire IR filter for night black-ops, rest of the time its the infamous Golston "Superbright" 7 Watt w/remote switch. Has withstood over 250 rounds and still working 🙂

250 rds is nothing. Isn't break-in supposed to be 400 rds? Well surefires hold up to 800 rds of 45acp on my KRISS. But ARs and the KRISS don't really have that much recoil to damage tac lights.

Also IF You need a light on your gun, I recommend you mount two, so one will always be working.

Two G2's in desperate need of upgrades. Gear Sector Dual light mount.

Solarforce in GEAR SECTOR single light mount. I can't say enough about the GEAR SECTOR mounts. I've tried a lot of weapon light set ups, and these are the best I've found so far. I had JUST bought Vltor light mounts when these came out. The Vltors allow the aluminum light bodies to slip under recoil. Vltors will be better suited for the G2 light bodies I think.

I use a Vikings Tactical mount, for a Surefire 6P with a Malkoff M60, and a vertical fore grip.

M962XM07 on a Double-Star 16" .223 w/ Quad-Rails, Adjustable Stock, and a Tango-Down Fore-Grip with the pressure switch installed. Also have my L4 w/ an M-78 mount that I can attach in-case the zombies get out of hand.

I also believe in lights on weapons...ya just have to know how (i.e. when) to use them...e.g., I come outta my room with my light turned on, I'm a target, cause I don't know where the bad guy is...I come out with it off, eye contact's made, light goes on, and in that split second he turns/shields his eyes, I have the upper hand. Granted, all situations are unique, but that's how it's taught, cause it's the most proven. If you're walking around with yer gun light on, yeah, you are a target, but when used aas a force multiplier/passive-offese tool, it's a big help.

I've been using a Jetbeam RRT-2 Raptor with good results:

Where the heck did that come from? but I can't find it for sale anywhere. Edit: turns out that's because it's a prototype, and there's not (yet) enough interest for a production run of 500.

Thanks for attending to that. The quoted post is OK too - it refreshes in the same way the original does.

BTW, it is pointless referring to "Page 3" - page # references are completely useless, as people use different settings for the # of posts per page.

Weapon Light Advice Needed (Fenix TA21)

Hey guys, I'm about to put together an AR-15 and I'd like to put a flashlight on it. The four main criteria I have are that it have a tailcap button, be very bright, and of course be mountable on an AR's 1913 rail (usually 1" body is what the standard is), and sub-$100.

So far, the one that I've liked most is the Fenix TA-21. Anyone have a suggestion for something that may be better, or is this a pretty solid flashlight? The use will be 75% in doors, only used outdoors if I hear something outside or walking to the car or something maybe.
