Re: weapon lights for AR 15
Well I have finally finished moving and was able to find my AR parts, so now I just need to find someone who can help me put the mount on my front grip and then I will buy the light. Thanks for all who have given me some info to think about.
Re: weapon lights for AR 15
Yup the same here. I have plenty of them. But they are surefire.bill460 wrote: ↑March 28th, 2020, 12:18 am I have 2 of these from Primary Arms. Thus far they have been excellent lights. They are very well constructed, extremely bright, and can be shortened or lengthened by adding or removing the extra battery section. The added battery doesn't increase the lumens, just the run time.

Not sure what mount you are using but these are really easy to install with a screwdriver

Re: weapon lights for AR 15
This is my opinion. There’s the preface.
ARs with lights are cool and everything. They look pretty cool. But I know myself and I know my limitations, so I decided to go to the dollar store and buy night lights to place all around the house. Total cost, $10-$15.

Re: weapon lights for AR 15
Not enough information to determine if lack of illumination was the cause. Sadly, this type of scenario happens too frequently. It all falls to disregarding basic rules of gun safety. KNOW and IDENTIFY your target BEFORE you pull the trigger. He obviously didn't.
I'm not saying weapon lights are unnecessary. Just that they don't replace common sense when handling a weapon. Especially at night when you're half asleep and hear "bump".

For your price range I like the Streamlight Protrac Rail mount.

Re: weapon lights for AR 15
I’m your price range, stream light protec is the way to go unless can find a used surefire.
Know a few guys that work with me in contracts that use streamlights on their work rifles and say they’re good to go for the intended purpose
