Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
Thanks for the video. I THOUGHT I understood you, but yes, the video clarified positioning.
Funny because I have a small "tac light" with a tail cap switch that I was wondering if I could mount. When fiddling around, it seemed that "up top on the right" would keep it out of my way because my thumb would be blocked if it were on the left.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
This is the mount I use.

If you want to clamp a hand held tac light to the above mount you can use this if the light will fit in the loops. https://www.magpul.com/products/ligh...uctColor=VO343
For a handheld tac light you will need both mounts.Last edited by :-); November 19th, 2019 at 08:25 AM.

Roll your own for cheap - UTG Offset Mount and an inexpensive flashlight like a Streamlight Polytac or Sofirn SP31. The UTG has sleeves so you can pick a flashlight with a diameter to match. You may need to use electrical tape to fill the void and get a firm clamp.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
I'm happy with a Streamlight TLR 3 that I initially had on a handgun and then put it on my CZ Scorpion.
125 Lumen and $78.xx on Amazon free shipping

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll try ordering a rail segment, and/or a universal light mount first.
I have one very small light that may work and it has a momentary tail cap switch.
I have another one that will definitely work, but the tail cap switch is DEAD. (verified by trying another cap that unfortunatley doesn't fit, but the contact touched enough to operate the light to confirm that the other switch is not working)
I have a third one that may work, but it's a bit larger than I'd like.
Don't know if they will hold up to recoil, but I did get a remote pressure switch with the largest one when I got it.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
Since not a lot of lumens seems to be ok with everyone, and the need for something really small seems utmost, I think I have the ultimate solution!
Take that 20 lumen unit, an anvil, and a five-pound sledge, beat the ever-loving shit out of it, turning it frequently, Damascus-style, until it is the size of a SwissMiss hot cocoa mini-marshmallow after five minutes of floating around the swirling black lava pool of chocolatey goodness. Then, wipe it off, cut the end off of a AAAA, not AAA, because that won’t work, but a AAAA and squeeze (toothpaste tube style, rolling it from the bottom) it until you get all the lumen-producing little particles out onto your new micro-mini tactical weapon light. Ok, it won’t be very bright, but oh boy is it ever small.
Oh, if you can’t get all the little particles to squeeze into your new light, smear them on your lips. Trust me, women find that so hot!

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
I got one of those when I bought my G19 ages ago. It's dim and just chews through batteries.
I'm in the process of swapping my rifles over to these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1
I like them because you can use the USB rechargeable 18650s in them.
I think something like that mounted on the right side of the gun with an offset mount and a tape switch would work fine. It's not small but it'd be out of the way.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
This is a pretty neat setup that I just ordered last night. The light itself is nice and short, so it won't take up much real estate on an AR pistol handguard (CZ Scorpion in my case). The fact that it comes with a tape switch and a direct M-Lok mount all for $70 is what sold me.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
I was looking at some of the handheld Streamlight Pro Tac lights - Wasn't sure if they would be rated for recoil though.
Gotta be better than the cheap Chinese Amazon offerings though.
This one is 350 lumens and can use 2 types of batteries - need to confirm if tail cap has momentary.
