I want to mount a light on my KelTec. Any suggestions?

KT sells a short rail the mounts under the forward-most part of the HG, straight under the barrel. I'll go take a pic but it will be tomorrow before I can post it.



I really prefer to have a light between 1 and 3 o'clock on a carbine, not at 6 like that factory rail offers. Here is one of mine where I just drilled two small hole through the right HG and mounted a simple, short rail (Steamlight unit IIRC) for the mounting of a M3/TLR/etc.










This set-up works pretty well on such a small, light carbine and doesn't interfere with folding whatsoever.

Here's the factory rail I mentioned above (the aluminum one underneath, not the plastic one on the side –– the plstic one's the one I mentione in my first post):













And here it is with a light mounted...

Thank you.
I'm not a big fan of the under barrel mount, myself.

And I saw your pic of the side mounted optic, also.
Looks like I have myself a project for the holidays.
