I had a Gear Sector back in the day that was perfect, but they’re discontinued. Have an Arisaka that’s held up great on a 308 but MLOK only.
All I’m seeing are stupid designs like Magpul’s that drive a screw into the light body to hold everything together. Does anyone still make a 1” clamp style handheld light mount for Picatinny? I can’t find a dang thing but cheap crap. Really don’t want to use a scope ring if I can avoid it. |

Search the EE and you'll eventually find either a Gear Sector or a Haley Thorntail / Impact Weapons Components 1" mount. I have both and prefer the Haley Thorntail SBR mount.
 Attached FileOdin Works makes a nice MLok 1" light mount as well. |

Ive used the GG&G, but I had to pinch the steel clamp together slightly to get it to work as intended.

It LOOKS like these are still in production. And what I used to run for work back in the day. The best I could ever find for mounting a handheld flashlight to a picatinny rail. Available for 6P, G2 an E-series.

If you don’t index the clamp when you tighten it, you can probably hurt something. Likely a necessity with how tight it gets everything to the rail.  Attached File |

I pinched it together slightly, which resulted in having to snap it over the body of the light, but everything lined up the way it was supposed to after that. |

Luckily I didn’t have to loosen mine that much so didn’t have the same problem. Mine the actual Picatinny clamp kept trying to spin as I tightened it. |
