| Do the PEQ-2 and PEQ-15 use the same cable assemblies? |
| What Joe said above. However, I would advise against using it if possible. Some guys really love pressure switches. But, laser switch plugs are the weakest ones out there and I've never found one I couldn't accidentally break. Not only is the material and design weak, but the connection is too. A lot of times you have to twist the plug in the socket to find just the right angle for it to make contact. Otherwise, it might be completely plugged in, but not working because the contacts are not meeting. The gun takes a lot of abuse, so its beyond me why the government chose to standardize such a weak connection. Slightly bumping it can break it. I prefer to not use a cable and instead just reach over the top of the laser with my thumb and activate it with the fire button. |
| IIRC, PEQ 15 uses 2 switches with 2 connectors. The connectors are the same as what they use in all insight lights.....actually the PEQ2 switch is identical to their remote handgun switch. So I guess you can use 2 switches for PEQ2. Original PEQ15 is one assembly (with 2 switches) with 2 wires and 2 connectors. The design may have changed since. |
| From my understanding, both Insight and LDI use the same spec plugs on their remote switches for various Class I and Class IIIb devices, as does SureFire stuff compatible with same. Phone up Insight as a civi, and they will promptly tell you to FO. Phone up LDI, and they will be more accommodating. The straight plugs are really crappy and well prone to breakage; the angled plugs survive much better. |

Takes a little getting used to when you're used to pressure switches, but works just as well and removes a point of failure. One of my favorite things I picked up. |
