 This ugly little thing ...

I opened my pistol case to find my WML batteries dead a few weeks back. I've tried pressure switches and multiple lights on this one over the years, but I always come back to the paddle. It simply works really well with my support grip in the minimal space available.

With the beatings this kit gets being thrown around daily, it's bound to happen occasionally. Especially since I traded foam for content space years ago!

More frequently the light/laser settings switch gets randomized. So this last time it happened, I grabbed an old Kydex holster...hit it with the heat gun and made an obviously rough molded friction cover.

It snaps on tight, and requires a very simple grasp and yank to clear the light. The way I pinched it to the light during forming, it has an "off" bias while secured to the gun....but also just yanking it off activates the light. I honestly didn't do it on purpose, so the added benefit is just icing on the ugly cake.

Call me as crazy as the next person but I too really like using the pistol lights on my AR’s because for one they are really light (lol) compared to the longer rifle lights and a lot less bulk. :bigsmile:
Yeah I get looks at the range but IDGAF, joke them if they can’t take a fukk. Lol

I also use pistol lights on my ars also. I put mine on the top rail in front of the buis. They work great and they’re less bulky.

And you still get clearance for your sights? I'd be interested in seeing a pic or two of that set up if you don't mind.

I couldn’t get a good pic, but the clearance is good. I use griffin sights and a surefire x300.
