Surefire Pressure Switch Mod

[Whootsinator]

Dremel + Surefire + Superglue = Whoot's Gunsmithery is open for business!

I was pretty pumped when my Surefire M600P arrived, but found the pressure switch mounting options lacking. You COULD pay Surefire $100 for their rail-mounted pressure switch, but it is:
A) $100
B) Harder to activate than their non rail mounted switch
C) Larger
D) $100 freaking dollars

Instead I opted to do something I had seen on another weapons board (I honestly forget which one) and create a channel down the middle of a Magpul ladder rail cover for the switch to sit in, removing roughly the top 2/3 of material. To accomplish that I used a Dremel and a sanding drum. After getting the channel where I needed it to be I Superglued the switch and rail cover together, then snapped them on the top rail of my hand guard. The ladder did flex and stretch a bit, causing a bit of separation along the sides of the switch, but there is no wiggling or signs of weakness. This solution is lower profile, more stable, and more secure than the supplied adhesive Velcro mounting option. Only time will tell if it holds up in the long run, but I expect it to.

THANK YOU TO REM700 FOR SUPPLYING THE LADDER RAIL COVERS!

Watch out cranky...

That's almost how I started the post

It's a little ghetto and probably less secure than the Surefire rail mounted switch, BUT without a single doubt it is more secure than the mounting solution they provided with the light.

I'm still trying to decide the best way to mount the elzetta tape switch on the 930. For now I just have some automotive body panel double sided tape holding it on

Mother of blinding light! The more I use them the more I like small lights with less output, though light sabers have there place.
