For lights mounted close to the muzzle, I always put a thin layer of vaseline on the lens. It collects all the gunk and carbon discharged from the barrel. Makes it really easy to clean and keeps your light bright for longer. Just wipe it off after shooting and reapply. I have lights that have seen thousands of rounds and the lens is still as clear as the day it was installed.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Lol. That’s a useful tip. But I likely won’t do a ton of shooting with the light mounted. Probably just to check zero of the laser.
The light will be mounted when it’s at home and when I go camping. Other than that I’ll probably remove it when I’m target shooting.
