What kind of tape switch mount are folks running now?  

I am not too fond of the crappy velcro that most companies include with their wares.  I have tried the inner tube, but am looking for something that works well but also looks good.

Maybe even a vertical grip with a tape switch mount if the quality is good.

The LMT was the only one I ever liked, everything else got sticky crap everywhere in the Southeaster heat/humidity.
Hard to beat the inner tube solution.

I have found that the rail mounted tape switch mounts where you slide your tape switch inside of them and they just click on to your rail have been the best for me.

I use a LaserMax Remote Switch Mount.

I tried the Ergo Grip *ahem* "Surefire" tape mount.... which turns out doesn't actually fit Surefire tape switches
So, I went the simple battle-proven route:



Zip-ties!

No Velcro, no gunk on the rail, no innertube, just a simple, secure attachment.

Same. I either velcro mine onto a VFG and slide a section of inner tube over it, or on my block II (ris II) with AFG  I zip tie it between the top and left rails.

For years I have been using one called a Ergo made by falcon industries. It clamps on to the rail like a rail panel and you Velcro the tape pad to it and place a tapepad cutout cover over it and it gives you a solid place to mount your tape switch. I actually just mounted a new one using the Ergo one about 10 mins ago

I also am in the middle of creating a product that is made exactly for holding a tape switch to vertical grips. It's not finished yet and obviously I can't say what the product is but IM me your address and as soon as its ready I'll send you a free one to try.
