Tactical Light for the 870 - The M3 with 870 adaptor

Has anybody used the M3 tactical light on their 870. How easy is the ergonomics. e.g. getting to the on switch. I like the idea cuz I can also use the light on my glock. Also overall cheaper than the replacement forends by surefire. Thanks

If you are referring to the TacM3 light, I have a couple, and so far, so good. They are very light, well made, and bright (somewhat brighter than a SureFire 6P/6Z, though not as bright as the units that use 3 DL123A batteries).

The main "downside" compared to the SureFire Responder is the exposed wiring of the pressure switch.

The advantages are light weight and relative cheapness.

Well worth trying, IMO.
