Update:
This is what I ended up going with ->
- G2X Tactical - Desert Tan: $63.00 Shipped
- MOE Scout Mount: $7.85 Shipped
- MOE V-Block & Rings: $17.95 Shipped
Total to-my-door: $88.80
This fit my needs and price point.
I appreciate that a majority of the cost is in the GX2 which is not a dedicated weapon light. Later on if I go with a different handguard or rifle, I can take the light off and use it as a regular flashlight. This thread help me realize the merits of going this rout verses a dedicated weapon light. Thanks for the comments everyone.
I can actuate the GX2 perfectly with my hand on the vertical grip
One could say that I'm a big Magpul/FDE fan
