I have carried one on my duty belt for 5 years and like it a lot. I don't know about carbine mounting options.

It is not rated for weapon mounting. It is, as you will no doubt find, one of the best hand held lights, period. I love mine.

This is correct. It is not rated as weaponlight. Can you use it for that task? Yep and there is a good chance that it will work just fine in this application. My problem is that I don't like to tempt fate. C4 |

if you get a 1" ring mount that will fit (the rubber finger thing-a me-bobbies), and i would recommend a shock bezel.
i think it would be too much hassle if you're thinking of frequently going back and forth ( belt carry to weapon light). when i shoot my AR w/ a barrel mount, 1" ring and D3 light, i need to use loc-tite blue to keep the vibration from working it loose in short order. |

Heck yeah, I got everyone in my unit hooked on the 6P/G2 bug. Everyone will say "why would you spend so much on a stupid flashlight" until the first time you use it. I carry mine on the left hip in a polymer holster upside-down. Unless you are actually going to be using the Z2 grip as it was intended, just get the 6P. I got the Z2 and I wish I hadn't. Oh, and if you feel an itch for a rechargable light (like when you burn up a set of batteries every other night), just get the extension kit. The 9AN commander is WAY too fragile for duty use IMO. |

Thanks for the replies everyone. So far I really like the light. It will more then likely never be mounted to my carbine, if I descide to attach a light I will get a dedicated weapon light.
Anyone with more feedback please chime in. |

i had my z2 mounted on my m4 during operations in afghanistan for 6 months,and then a couple more months in iraq,not a single problem.i had it in a 1" scope ring,with electrical tape wrapped around it to fill the extra space.sounds guetto rigged,i know,but if you know anything about the infantry,that's pretty standard.but like i said,it worked great.
