Will a surefire switch assembly work on the protac?
Use the adhesive tape it came with in conjunction with the picatinny mount bro
You don't need to make your AR any heavier and bulkier(or unnecessarily spend more money) by adding the cloud tac mount. The provided zip ties are meant to wrap around the groves at each end of the switch pad securing it TIGHTLY to the picatinny "rubbery" rail mounts that came with the light(which by the way are lighter and lower profile than the cloud mount). 1200 rounds later, still holding. AR's are meant to be light/nimble weapons. Every ounce counts. Good luck.
Use the screws they gave you to hold it down look I saw them in the bag.
Can we get an HLX vs 1 or 2 video? Not only brightness & beam pattern but side by side size size comparison too. Thanks
Put the Zip Ties across the front and rear grooves of the pressure pad and it ain't moving anywhere.
I have the streamlight protac rail mount 1 and I'm looking for an offset mount that will work for an mlok rail. Are their any aftermarket options for these light that anyone can suggest? Appreciate any suggestions anybody has to offer. Thanks
The pressure switch is like that because it comes with zip ties to fully secure it …
Is that a Daniel Defense fixed front sight?
What handguard is that?? Looks really nice.
Cocaine is a hellava drug
I have the ProTac 1 and it's really all you need unless you're an operational Operator, operating operationally. 350 lumens inside a dark building, or more likely your home is more than bright enough, there Is a "hotspot" and the reflection off a white wall Will blind you, as well as any unwelcome night visitors. Who is shooting 100+ yards at night without night vision anyway? Home defense=ProTac1. O-O,O-ing O-ly…Surefire or ProTac 2.
I own 3 streamlight products and will likely own another soon. There warranty department is complete garbage, but they are so darn affordable.
I have a rail mount 1 on my mk18 pistol and I’m waiting for my cloud defensive lcs from Black Friday, definitely an affordable option that performs very well, had the light for a year and no issues
Has anyone had any problems with battery life? My Rail Mount II kills the batteries while just sitting in the safe!!!
I've had Surefire mini scouts for a few years, and now I'm looking to switch em out for the HL-X. Definitely gonna pick up the Cloud Defensive pressure pad mounts as well.
Have a Rail Mount 1 on my home defense AR pistol. Love it, but couldn't get the pressure switch to fit well on top of a rail without get feeling really chunky. I ended up using the included 3M tape, and it's been solid for me (but it's not sitting out in the rain or dust normally). I also twisted my switch around, so momentary is closer to me and I have to reach for the constant. Cloud Defensive looks nice. Great video!
love my X-1000 and I run the same Cloud Tac. mount for the pressure switch. For the money nothing can touch them and in case anyone thinks Streamlight isn't the peer of Surefire: I've been running Streamlight in the Fire/Rescue INdustry for over 15 years (I have basically a TLR-3 on my helmet) and they're all still running strong. Everything breaks, Streamlight is a good company, as is Surefire (although IMO Surefire is overpriced and kind of full of their own brand name).
I’ve had the RM 1 on my rifle, using the supplied zip tie and adhesive, for nearly a year. Still on pretty solid.
Good Stuff!!! Not bad for the price but I agree n switch out the pressure pad , cool thanxs 😀😀
PSA: most lights that require 2 cr123 batteries can also use a single 16650, (same diameter and length as 2 cr123's) i use 16650 batteries (like $7 each from ilumn) in my m600 scout ultra as well as my original 6p (the 6p has a 1000 lumen LED drop in instead of the p60 lamp)
Great video man. Always nice when people take their time to do a comprehensive review and comparison.
Been missing your vids man! I know they are a ton of work. Really wish YouTube would give your well deserved ad revenue.
I have 2 of these and mine dont move on my rails like that. I'd never seen that before.
cloud defense switch mount and the way of the gun light mount are my go 2 parts for mounting these on key mod or mlok rails.
I have one Mount 1 and two Mount 2's. They do their job well for the money and for what you get, great value!! @joe_ART15AN
Can the rail mount 2 use a single 18650 battery?
