Guys with M-LOK handguns and surefire pressure bads, how are you securing the cord?

Cords? As in light switches for lights? I just use an integrated light like Inforce.

Zip ties. Or if you want to be extra slick those Velcro cable mgmt strips are really cool

I figured people are using a ziptie or similar. I was guess I was looking for something more "operator" :lol:

I was just figuring out the same thing for the Streamlight I put on my Mk18. I don't have a ton of excess cable to worry about snagging. I think I'll be able to get away with one small ziptie to secure the excess cable.

On a rifle with a quad rail, such the RIS on the MK18, I used LaRue rail clips. Check them out. Great cable management. I'm just not sure on this new rifle with M-LOK so that's why I made this post.

Thanks for the recommendation! I don't know that they'll work for my situation. I'm probably going to just secure the cable to the holes between the rails for my purposes. Still, I may just order some of those to have on hand.

I use the black Velcro cable management strips found over in Walmart’s hardware section.

If you are looking for Tactical.

They are called Ranger Bands.

I suppose you could also use twist ties.
