I'm looking for a better option for a light I can attach and remove easily from my work gun which is kept in an arms room when I'm off shift. It's an M4 carbine with a quadrail handguard.
Right now I'm using a G2X in a VLTOR QD offset mount. This works alright but the tailcap on the G2X is too sensitive and not shrouded and I had a light ND once during a training exercise. Also being that it's on a carbine length handguard I have to bring my support hand even farther back on the short handguard.
In the past I've also tried mounting a light on the right side and using a tape switch but taking it off and on and not having a good way to store it ruined the wire of the switch within a few months, so that's not going to work for me either.
I also tried out an Inforce WML but I couldn't find a satisfactory position for it without an additional pic offset mount. Is there any kind of QD 45 degree offset mount maybe?
I think the ideal would be something like a Impact Weapons Components Thorntail mount but with a QD attachment. Does anything like that exist? And what is a better weapon light option than the G2X, something that requires a little bit of deliberate effort to activate?
Thanks in advance.
