| I'm about to mount a Surefire 6P with a VLTOR scout mount onto my CAR. I have a VFG in about the center location of my handguards, and I am a right handed shooter. I don't have a tape switch. Where is the best place to mount my light with this setup? I was thinking the right side of the rail so that I can reach my left thumb underneath the handguard behind the VFG to activate the end cap button? Any pics would be great, thanx. |

Quoted:
Bottom line is "try it all sorts of different places and see what works best for you. Not everyone has the same size hands/thumbs so what works for one person might not work for you. +1 it really isn't "one size fits all" but the way you said I think is the best method. I have a Surefire with the XM tail cap which is both push button and tape. I actually prefer the push button with my left thumb method eta: where I have mine mounted with the VG my thumb fits perfectly with the push button

I have my Surefire mounted at 3 o'clock on my forearm rail.
I used this configuration last year during a Larry Vickers carbine class, part of which included night engagement techniques and use of light. Initially I was concerned about activating the momentary switch on the tailcap, but found with a solid grip on the forearm I could active the light with the side of my index finger no problem. |
