Only the shadow knows!
I've got a Stoeger Double Defence and I'm trying to equip it with a laser, light, pressure switch. Ideally, one switch mounted on the forestock for turning the laser and flashlight on from normal hand position.

Surefire makes the exact 3 components - for an eye-watering price of about $1500 and that's USA dollars! I definitely don't want cheap junk but feel there must be something inbetween. I'm hoping someone else might have gone through the same process and have some suggestions.
 
Olight baldr s compact I think may suit your needs. I believe they sell pressure switches for them separately. About $175. I was going to buy one for an hk pistol that I couldn't find in stock before the ban
 
Not sure why you'd want the light and laser to come on at the same instant. What sort of scenario do you have in mind, if you don't mind my asking? Actually, if it's visible light I've always found that a laser makes a pretty good flashlight all on its own.
 
As others have said above - flashight to let me see what I'm shooting at and laser to let me fire from the hip. Ideally I'd like to have the flashlight at a low/medium setting to not overpower the laser.
 
This remains my fave double light, Clint Smith's ranger bands:

The light I run (Olight Balder Pro R) throws 1350 lumens of white light. I also assumed the laser would be washed out, and was really surprised that it isn't. As the others have said, the laser will print on target if you aren't behind the sights. The light gives target acquisition.

The remote switch came to me for like $40.00 all in.

I recommend them.

Issue I have with all the modern LED lights is that they're so bright that when in use they reset any night vision you may have acquired. Again, whether or not that's an problem depends on your situation but I do like the so-called tactical lights that come with a low lumen option.

Filters can also be found if that's a concern. They simply fit over the end of the flashlight.
