  1. I pretty much run mine the same, light on the right with the pressure pad at the 12 o'clock. I do have one that I'm running the pressure pad at the 3 o'clock as well. All I have are ARs so there's that, I need to expand into a SCAR or something a little different.

    Love the content.

  2. I’ve had flashlights on my ar and pressure pads but thought I wouldn’t like the pressure pads and all the wires I dunno I’m also a more traditional kinda of guy like iron sites until recently I wanted to try out the new to me stuff like red dots flash light grips etc I may try my pressure pad one day lol

  3. I heard from a few SF guys to not run a pressure pad on your white light if you’re running a peq as well. Last thing you want is trying to stay sneaky at night and you accidentally hit your white light giving away your position.

  4. What are y'all's thoughts about placing the light at 6 o'clock (under the muzzle), with a muzzle device installed? So, that it is neither blocking a left hand or right hand grip…if you have the rail space.

  5. Good video Clint. It's Shooter's choice. I prefer what Larry Vickers noted using a tac light in the 12 o'clock position due to Suppressor shadow. In CAG he said the most important thing was PID of the face and hands. He mounts front BUIS just behind the light. Pistol size light with a toggle takes less rail space, lighter and ambi control. Doesn't get blocked when cornering right/left. No cables to deal with.

  6. I need to figure out the best light for a Springfield Armory Saint Victor, AR 15 rifle because it does not have a Picatinny rail on the top of the barrel. Any suggestions.

  7. Hi !! I've been shooting handguns and shotguns for approx. 40 years. New to the A/R platform. LOTS to learn. LOVE your channel and all your videos. You are all a lot of fun to watch, all very likable, interesting and VERY informative. My new favorite go-to on YouTube. Content provided by people who really know their $**t is priceless. THANK YOU so very much and please keep up the great work. Best to You all and Yours.

  8. I think its definitely good to just base your light setup on your weapon platform, and what you're doing with the weapon. On my AK I'm not gonna use a pressure pad, personally. But on my ar I would.

  9. Montrum M-LOK Weapon Light Pressure Switch Cable Clips makes some great small m-lok cable management clips and keep the cables well controlled. If you have a streamlight protec pressure pad and m-lok on your rail Shaffer machining makes a plate to mount them to your rail. They also have
    One that manages cables under the switch as well. Super cool!

  10. “Here I am!”,, “Here I am!” ,, That’s what the light is really saying, with the volume depending on the intensity of the light.. although the small Axiom light that attaches to your bayonet lug is really cool.

  11. @classic firearms Clint where did you get your mlok American flag? I have search and can't find any online. Or does anyone know where I can find one?
    Thanks
