TLR1 on pistols...

Some great big fucking mag lite looking thing on my rifle... Primary arms had it on sale and I got the brilliant idea of idea of putting a fucking kel light on my AR...

At least if shit goes hand to hand, I can make the forbidden sound with my rifle...

The only thing I operate is a computer mouse.

But I’m very fond of Cloud Defensive’s products.

Modlite PLHV2 is the best one I’ve used

Streamlight TLR-1 has been solid for me.

While Surefire is great, I don't recommend the Surefire G2 with a plastic lens for a weaponlight.  Weaponlights should have glass lenses.

I went a different route..

I had to kill a few people.  Then, I got sent to a slam where they told me I would never see daylight again.
So I dug up a doctor and paid him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on my eyeballs.  That way, I could see who was sneaking up on me in the dark.

I was not aware of that.

Surefire got it right with the Scout Pro's mounting system. It's minimalist and lightweight. It makes adjustment up close to the rail a cinch. Once you get it to where you want it, you tighten the adjustment screw and it's not going anywhere.

The Arisaka mount got me tucked up tight, but when I need another, it will be Scout Pro.

Streamlight 88058 Pro Tac Rail Mount 1, which uses either a lithium cell like the included one or can use a single AA (like an Eneloop) with no adapter needed to swap between them.

It comes with a remote tail cap, but I don't use that.

When I operate operationally in the AO known as my house, the light on my rifle is some sort of Surefire LED light in a Magpul cantilever mount.

None whatsoever.

I bought a second one because I like it so much. I know people here trash talk them.

I love how easy it is to switch between white and IR. Now I have that plus my old Surefire 952V to roam around in the dark with.

Save your money, pard. They're overrated. Just get a reflector pan for the back. Triples your output and doesn't light you up as well.

You can also upgrade to a Bullseye light. It has Bullseye in the name so it's like having a scope. Super accuracy guaranteed!

Arisaka 600 with malkoff head. Idk if these are still a popular choice, but they offer 55,000 candela compared to the $100 dollar more modlite plhv2 which is also 55,000 candela.

Stream light HLX if on a budget.

Cloud owl if no IR illuminator/laser

Cloud rein if integration with IR illuminator /laser needed.

A lot of people are still using surefire due to procurement processes but many units / teams and operators are switching over to cloud as time goes by.

What makes the Cloud Rein integrate better with IR illuminator/laser?
