Here are a few light options I am considering:
Current set-up: Surefire G2 in 1" scope ring
Pros: cheap, works for my needs so far, lightweight, within my budget
Cons: not sure about long-term durability, not designed as a weaponlight, enough for indoors but lacking for outdoors, doesn't match TA11 well for best night ability
Possible set-up: Surefire G2 with P61 lamp, AN14 adapter, Z32 Shock isolated bezel, B65 battery adapter in 1" scope ring
Pros: within budget, uses existing equipment already on-hand, 125 lumens and 1 hour of run time in lightweight 9v package, shock-isolated bezel
Cons: still not designed as a dedicated weaponlight, more expense (about $40 + a G2), high output lamp on G2 builds up a lot of heat
Possible set-up: M962C with throwlever
Pros: Allows use of vertical grip or not as desired, dedicated weaponlight, better combination of grip and light possible with less weight? Versatile positioning of light
Cons: More weight, much more expensive, outside of current budget
Possible set-up: M900 with throwlever
Pros: LED navigation, dedicated weaponlight, compact, light is in desired location (below bore)
Cons: Heavy, can't remove light without losing grip, Is grip durable enough to withstand a good muzzle strike without breaking? Grip breaks and you lose light too, most expensive and outside of current budget.
I welcome any comments that anybody here has to add. My current experience with lights on weapons is limited entirely to a G2 tie-wrapped on to M4 handguards and only lately have been able to upgrade to 1" scope rings on a rail handguard.
