The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - AR Light Mount -Which side for you?

HKGuns · November 22, 2012, 08:47 AM

I read a few articles on which side of the rifle to mount your light and conventional wisdom appears to say mount it on the outboard side of of whichever way you carry it so it won't get it hung up in gear.

Not being one to follow conventional wisdom I chose to mount mine inside as I can fluidly hit the button should I need to do so. Doing the reach around with my trigger hand makes little sense and I don't want one of those stupid pressure switches.

Which side do you mount your light on?
