How are you running your flashlight remote switches??

[MisterMe]

On such a small profile, how have people attempted mounting their flashlight remote switches?

I ditched my tape switch and just thumb my tail cap switch works for me. As I just couldn't find a good spot to put one.

i have not found a single way i like to run a light on this thing.  every spot just feels awkward and unnatural

So far i love the way my Elzetta is set up. Left hand on the vertical grip and hit the tailcap button with my thumb. Every other place i tried to mount it felt awkward as well.

My light is mounted on the right side. I simply use my middle finger to activate the tail cap switch. Works great on the Evo, works great on my shotgun.

I use a TLR1 HL on mine and it fits perfectly where my thumb can push the button to either momentary or constant on.  I am not a fan of tape switches because I have seen them fail, get caught up in other gear etc.  I like to keep things simple. 

Course I do still have my eye on the Linq from Crimson Trace.  Still too new for me to want it on a self-defense gun, but looks interesting.

Same here with a Surefire X300 Ultra. I love it. It's been on pistols and now my Scorpion SBR. I think it's 3-4 years old now. I've never tried an actual flash light on a rifle or any kind of remote switch. Running wires around a weapon seems like a headache, but I bet it's alright if you can get it perfect.

I got my weapon light in yesterday and it has the pressure tape. The wire was way too long, so I cut it and shortened it up. Just a little solder and heat shrink, then secured with electrical tape. She's good to go and about as perfect as it gets. Light was only $55 shipped, highly rated and works great. Nice and bright, came with mount and pressure switch and even batteries. It's not a sure fire or streamlight but it's perfect for a home defense gun. I'll post a pic if anyone's interested.

On my pistol, for the light I just use tailcap switch. For IR laser, which is on right side, I put the tape pressure switch on the angled portion between front sight and muzzle brake. I had to bump front sight back one notch for it to fit. Works great there and I activate with it my thumb.  No pics because Scorpion is off to cerakote to get some parts color matched.

Here's a pic of where I have my tape switch on he front slant of the handguard. I use it for my IR laser but it's all the same.

TLR -1S here.

 Run it in the forward 6:00 position, ditched the hand stop.

Works like a champ.

...remote switch? 



Old school magwell hand hold, access tailcap with weak hand thumb, no problem. Cheap as cheap can be.

Larue tactical index clips come in real handy for wire management

Exercise balls DO have multiple uses! Nice setup, sir!
