tactical light that will withstand 12 gauge ?

[bluecheese]

Anyone with actual hands-on experience recommend a good tactical light to mount to 870?

I worried about cheap ones flying off or not withstanding the force of 12 gauge. I don't want "opinion", some fact based information please.

Thanks,

Actual firing experience, long term use, mount and light information, please!

Fenix are GTG, my TK12R5 has seen thousands of rds of magnum buckshot, slugs, X39 etc without a single issue.

Excellent info so far, will research the models mentioned.

I've seen several ncstar and utg lights in $90 range - are these garbage?

I dont think they rank high enought to be called garbage....

If you don't have a forward rail how do you clamp them? To the barrel or magazine or foregrip?

Well lets see, I've got an NcStar Light/Laser combo on my 12.5" grizzly an the only thing that ever goes wrong when shooting buck or slugs with it is sometimes the power selector button knocks back into the OFF neutral position.

I'll get you guys some video footage of the light in use when I go out shooting next.

Mesa Tactical barrel clamp /w rail and a gear sector light holder works great. Also surefire makes a light holder for their 6 Pro series lights that also works with a rail. Either have worked well although I prefer the Gear Sector clamp.

Are you left handed???

Yep a lefty. Thumb sticking up controls the toggle switch while I got a perfect grip on the front grip.

Yikes there are 100 models... how to pick one I wonder?

Edit: PD-32 with ALG-01 flashlight mount looks sweet!
