I have a Remington 1100 Tac-2 shotgun.  I want to put a Surefire forend on it, but can't decide between the  LED version or regular bulb version.  Also, the bulb version has two variants, the on/off switch and disabling switch.  The LED version is the on/off switch.  What'd you recommend?

Thanks and Merry Christmas

I'd say go for the disable switch if you can afford it. It's hard to get a tight grip on the forend without activating the pressure switch. You can skip on the LED since you can always drop in a P60L or aftermarket LED bulb at any time. If you go with incandescent, make sure you take the light off before extensive shooting.

spend the extra dough on the LED version, if for nothing else then just the amount of batteries you will save, and if you have to remove the light to shoot it, whats the point?

If you use the short metal "blocker" Surefire includes that you glue to the pressure tape this is not a problem. I went with the LED w/o lock out switch.

You know I completely forgot about that one (I bought mine used so I never got one). Although I'd imagine some people would want to retain the pressure switch feature. When you say "glue to the pressure tape", is that permanent / if removed will destroy the switch?

No, it should peel off with a little effort and not fubar the tape switch.
