Original "Gangster Grip"

Own the night circa-2004 with 65 blistering lumens of incandescent light and an incredible 60 minute run time with two CR123 batteries (Laser Products 6P), a murky IR filter cover, all built into a vertical grip wired to control both the AN/PEQ-2 and white light with recessed buttons (Radio Shack), built in-house for a special operations unit.

This is awesome. I just sold my hl-x. I liked it but I wasn’t sure I could splice it and I saw too many people say theirs started flickering after the recoil from their rifles. Ended up getting an Arisaka 600

I’m trying out a setup similar to your’s. TLR-1 mounted “upside down” and in front of a folding front Magpul MBUS. I like it so far but the large bevel of the TLR obstructs the bottom of the sight picture. I’m not sure if it’s going to bother me long term. How long have you ran with that setup and does it cause you any problems?

It's a little annoying, but you get used to not seeing the bottom part of the sight. Surefire x300 is a little lower. It's an easy and quick setup for a wml and the switch is relatively intuitive while mounted this way.

@Lonestar12

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, it will take a little getting use to but I like the setup a lot, even using an absolute co-witness mount on my optic. It works perfectly because with the MBUS front sight pushed up against the TLR-1, as a lefty, it won’t let the switch turn all the way to constant on. So that fixes one of my gripes about the light itself and allows me to use it as temporary only.

I'm assuming you're asking me. @TennesseeRat

This is the Railmount 1. The Railmount HLX is the dual batt model that takes 18650s/CR123s and 1000 lumens. All the "railmount" models come with a clicky tailcap and tape switch. The mounting holes are the same as Surefire scout models but switches are not compatible between Surefire and Streamlight.

Hope this helps out.

Streamlight HLX in a Magpul extended cantilever scout mount. I've had it mounted since Christmas and have not experienced any flickering, the last 3 months I've been using it as OPFOR in force on force UTM shoot house training and it's still going strong even after being dropped and bashed into walls and furniture. It's only a matter of time before it's hit with a UTM round, when that happens I'll report back.

I've been running an HL-X for a year now on 18650's. Mine came with a streamlight pressure pad, no issues with that either.
