Are these a meme? I see more and more people NOT running these. Why? Is it better to just use the click cap? If so, is it ok to have it mounted on your strong side and just go over the top of the handguard with weak hand to click it?

i personally dont like having power cord spaghetti on my guns

They have always been a meme, anon. 

Real operators just side/offset mount and thumb activate the light as necessary.

Kek wtf

I'm left handed, the lights are on that side of the gun.

It took me a long time to find these light mounts.

The Haley Strategic ones I saw later.

Surefire also makes the scout light with integrated mount.

Anyway, using the pistol grip, my thumb positions perfectly on the light base.

Otherwise, I can C-clamp type hold the handguard and light light together. 

It works great. I think wires hanging off the gun would be much worse.

>looking at pressure pad set up from modlite website

>this has constant on right?

>yes

>are you SURE? it looks momentary only

>we promise 

>buy it

>its momentary only

Never again with those fags

It has constant on. You just keep holding it down.

Those are specially reserved for chink made lights, you're not using chink made lights are you anon?

Why would they be a meme? I see a lot of people mounting lights on the rail side where their thumb can't reach the clicky cap readily and im pretty sure they only take pictures of their guns for Instagram.



I like this kind of setup but I don't like threading it through itself on such a tight angle on the wires.

I like it on mine. No wire sticking out, control right under the thumb, very easy to use without moving hand at all. But I can also see why lots of others wouldn't on their less meme builds. So guess just up to you really, if you think it's comfortable fine but don't get it "just because" either.

>pressure pad for IR designator

Not a meme

>pressure pad for white light

Meme

The exception to this is guns that literally don't have railspace or mounting options to put the light in a spot where you can actuate the switch/cap without breaking your grip.



The REAL reason you generally don't see pros running things like dual-pressure switches on guns with both an IR designator and a white light is because discharging a white light when you meant to hit your ir laser is going to get you and your coworkers killed.

This doesn't make sense anon, switches like OP shows merely toggle the illuminator on/off, they don't change the setting. On mine and I'd assume any others that's a separate physical dial or whatever, if it's in laser position then it's not emitting white whether it's on or not. You'd have to fuck up that part, but you could do that anyway. Essentially moving the power button doesn't change that at all.
