It was a flash sale. The bags sold very quickly.

What's the preferred light placement on these PDW's from a bag gun context? Was considering and X300 or the new Modlite pistol light when it comes out at 12:00. Noticed @SouthNarc had a Modlite at 11:00, not sure if that would add to much width or create a snag point coming out of the bag? Pistol is a Daniel Defense PDW.
I'm using an Arisaka 300 series with a clicky tailcap at 11 o'clock. I haven't had any snagging issues when training with it out of the bag. Sorry for the bad pic, phone is almost 4 years old and it's survived many drops.

An ambi pistol light is objectively the best thing to do if it doesn't bother you and you're not trying to mount IR illuminators in that position. I don't like other stuff in my sight picture though, distracts me from looking through the RDS and getting a target focus.
I prefer using a tape switch at 12 O'Clock with the light at 1 O'Clock. Keeps it tucked in nicely, enough that I can use it ambidextrously. I can't do that with a clicky cap light at 11 O'Clock.
Either is preferable to having the light at a "traditional" 9 or 3 O'Clock position, which in the context of bagged guns is like Quasimodo trying to become a ninja. It's a giant tumor on the side of the rifle.

I have a TLR HL upside down at 1200 on the rail of my 300BO pistol. I also have one that way on a rifle. It offers ambidextrous operation.
I'm very curious to try the new Streamlight RM 1 and RM 2. They appear to be a version of the TLR 7/8/9 with switching similar to the inforce long gun lights, but with the added option of a pressure switch.
I've always like the form factor of the Inforce long gun lights but durability has always been iffy.

A consideration for me is being able to make the light inert in your bag so it doesn’t activate unintentionally. Last night, settled in for the night watching our US Marshall show, a truck pulled right up to us making me glad to have the Rattler. Of course this is the kind of weapon light that is ideal.

I have an RM2 and it seems like pretty nice kit, but I really do not have that much weapon mounted light experience. I have a shorter handguard on order that will move it back a little, and I might try an RM1 for the less weight.
Yes, you spin the cap a bit. It was kinda reluctant when new but is breaking in a bit. My big challenge is remembering to do it when it goes in the bag and when it comes back out of the bag.
