Hello all,
    I am currently in the process of building an 8” 300 BLK pistol and have a few questions concerning the setup. I would like the gun to be able to be run under nods, but due to the limited rail space a full on laser device with IR laser and illuminator seems impractical. My idea is to get an OTAL, Surefire Scout Vampire, and Unity TAPS switch so I can run the vampire as an IR illuminator and switch the cap to white light if needed. Would this be a practical setup? What are some examples where I would need white light under night vision and fiddling with the Surefire cap would be a hindrance? Any insight is appreciated.

In to find out how deaded ill get for having the same setup

I’m fully expecting to get flamed. But if you don’t ask...

The only thing I'd change on that set up is the IR light.
Arisaka makes one that has a tighter beam and the guy in this video says it's better, so it must be.
But seriously I have the EX IR 250 head and it's quite nice.

So do you have a separate white light?

I just switch out the head to a white light currently.
I might end up getting a white light and IR light on it, but it's already kinda front heavy so I don't know.
