I have a gen 2 mpx pistol. I'm looking for options for a direct mount to the keymod. I dont want to use another rail section. Is there or ARE there any flashlights that directly mount to the keymod? Like the Streamlight tlr 1, they attach via piccatiny rail. I wont to avoid attaching a rail onto the keymod THEN the flashlight on that rail.
Thanks |

Thats really two questions: what light and how to mount it. The Scout lights from Surefire and clones are a good choice. Streamlight ProTac series is new, and also has lots of options.
Then there are how to activate the light: tape switches vs tail caps etc. For keymod mounts on the MPX rail, Noveske Scout is what I like: 
Offset rail mount also worked well for me: 
Thats one of these: 
Edit to add: Due to the swell you can NOT use a 45 deg mount like so:

| It's discontinued but the Elzetta Mini CQB, out of the pacakge, attaches to keymod: http://jerkingthetrigger.com/2015/01/20/mini-cqb-weapon-light-from-elzetta-and-impact-weapons-components/ |

Meh I just attached a rail section. Doesn't bother me a bit. |

Aside from the discontinued elzetta, I don't know of any flashlights that will mount directly to keymod.
You can mount a x300/tlr-1 upside down on the top pic rail. Otherwise as others have mentioned, scout style body using a keymod mount of your picking. I used the iwc thorntail SBR mount for my scout m300b. |

| As mentioned, a Surefire Scout or Mini-scout will have the ability to swap the mount to a keymod capable mount that will mount the light directly to keymod. I use Scout lights on many of my guns and they are built tough and backed by the Surefire warranty. You can get good deals on Scout lights on Amazon, Ebay, and sometimes the EE on this site. |

cav_scout_tj & PFran42, have both given you the answer you seek OP. But here are a couple more options: Daniel Defense Keymod mount, IWC mount for Surefire, Streamlight, etc.. Here's another  BCM Keymod White Light Mounts |
