I am looking for a light rail I can mount to my Norinco. And want to find out what others are using. I am looking for a picatiny rail, that will accept a Surefire Nitrolon P101, or similar light. In addition I saw this 1911 Tick rail, and wanted to know if anyone has used one and what their thoughts are. MB www.trgear.com/osc/eshop/product_info.php/products_id/216 |

I went through Dawson Precision for their proprietary rail and SF nitrolin weapon light. IIRC the SF lights are not picatinney (except x200) and normally use a bolt on light mount. I don't know if any of the rails mentioned previously, do in fact fit the SF weapon lights. I am very pleased w/ the Dawson product. It's a lot slimmer and unobtrusive compared to any other rail that gives you a quick and convenient on and off feature. |
I'm sure it works fine for a light rail, but just try finding a holster that works with it. |

Though I'm a huge fan of the Dawson rail, there is a guy selling the Surefire rail on the EE: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=89&t=335050 |
Yep that's me....nothing wrong with it, I just changed my mind. |

Blade Tech is slow on their e-mails. Both will make you a holster. Safariland already makes one for the Kimber DET-1 pistol with Surefire IMPL mounted on a Dawson rail. It's not cataloged, but if you call their 1-800 number, they'll build you one. I already have another that fits a 1911 with the Surefire Classic light, and I can run an X200 or M3 off my Springfield Operator in this holster no problem. Both Blade Tech and Safariland make great holsters, and I would recommend both. |

Ok, I finally got my MR07 light rail and installed it on my Norinco. I really like it. I was a little worried it would make the weapon feel a little off balance, but it is actually perfect. Installation was easy, and the rail does not detract too much from the natural lines of the weapon. This picture is before I made some adjustments too the rail. I lowered the leading edge about 1/8 inch, so it is more parallel with the frame and the slide. The M3 light is in perfect position, and I can easily activate with either my trigger finger, or my left thumb. Mb

There are several holsters for 1911’s with lights. I am looking at two. I don’t have any pics but attached are links. MB www.rangerjoes.com/blackwater-gear-holster-universal-p-2355.html www.copsplus.com/prodnum5900.php |
