[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Light too close to suppressor?

Posted: 6/16/2015 6:05:07 PM EDT

Ok so I picked up a Surefire M600P for my 300blk. It's mounted on a 10.5" barreled, NSR keymod, with Noveske keymod scout mount. Now that it's on I'm wondering if it's too close to the suppressor. Anyone have any experience with lights near cans and if it may cause damage to the light?

If you were shooting subs, you would probably not have an issue.

Supers on the other hand, in long strings could get that can upwards of 700-1000 degrees. I would think being business card thickness away from that light could cause the residual heat to bleed over
into that light. Could be bad, but I'm not entirely sure. Those lights are built to take a beating.

Do you get quite a bit of glare off of the suppressor when using the light? That would be my only issue.

If you're using the suppressor for an extended range session, take the light off.

I doubt you'd have an issue unless you are dumping mags in full auto. Only draw back will be that can cutting off a good portion of the beam leaving a nice shadow. It would still work but it does get kind of annoying IMO.
