[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What mount/switch do you recommend to mount a SureFire 6P to a KAC rail system

Posted: 8/30/2005 5:27:23 PM EDT

I just ordered my 6920 and currently have 2 surefire 6P's in my posession. I am looking for mount/switch combo that will consist of a metal mount and a tape-style pressure switch that will fit into the slot of a Tango down front fore-grip. Any recommendations? Pics would be an added bonus.

Thanks

First off your 6P is NOT a weaponlight. With that in mind, I would get a Z32 shock isolated bezel. I stock no name tape switches that work well with the 6P (and are cheap) and also the XM06 (push button and tape switch all in one). For mounts, you can use the Daniel Defense, Viking Tactics, VLTOR Classic Series mount or even just a 1" scope ring.

I definately like the DD mount, do you have a list of prices available?
I still have to purchase the Tango Down fore grip, rear grip, switch and mount. How much is the no-name switch and the top of the line switch? Also, what type of weapon light would you recommend then? I prefer SF. I don't intend on using it to "stun" anyone into submission, just provide some area lighting when clearing a vehicle/room. This rifle will be a shooter and a patrol rife as soon as I get out of the academy.

What is the difference between the 6P and the weaponlight you recommend. Are they made of stronger materials, weather resistant...

Thanks, Jerry

PS, I don't mind spending the extra $ so that's not my primary motivation. One of the 6P's I own has seen plenty of duty with me while I've been in the military and I'm still on the original bulb, so I thought they were pretty solid lights.

Disregard, I just found the link to you web-site.

Thanks for the info, Jerry

I guess I need to work on the power of observation....

I sell TD gear and DD mount and can give you a package deal on everything. If your going to run a tape switch then I don't know that I would spend the money on the DD mount. If you were just going to use your thumb to acticate the rear button then I WOULD get the DD mount. I personally do not like tape switches on VG's. The reason is that when you are under stress you tighten your grip to whatever you are holding. This activates the light at the worst possible time.

SF weaponlight are made to take the abuse of recoil and encapsulate the batteries so they do not smash into the lamp modul. My favorite weaponlight is the SF M96LC. www.gandrtactical.com/grlights.htm#p4

So if I was in your shoes, I would get the Z32, Z49 and the DD mount. This is the most cost effective way to go.

Shoot me an e-mail and we can discuss packages. [email protected]

The XM06 is for the 6P series lights?
