So I just picked up a new 92A1 (traded an XD9) and I absolutely love it. This thing is awesome. My question is, has anyone had any issues mounting Surefire lights? I have an X300 that fit perfectly on the XD but wants nothing to do with the Beretta. It is super tight requiring a lot of muscle it get it on. It scrapes plastic off the light's rails and I'm pretty sure I could fire it without being secured in the notches and it wouldn't move. I've tried all of the included mounting hardware. This just doesn't seem right to me.
Thanks Edited for spelling, can't type on a phone, apparently |
| Either you're not using the correct hardware the correct way or you've got something that's out of spec. I mounted a Surefire X400 on my 92A1 and it fit perfectly. I did have to fiddle around with it a little while (and I too thought it didn't fit at first) because it is a pain but I promise it will go right on once you get it lined up just right. Assuming everything is correct of course. You can get it, good luck! |

Thanks for the reply, I'll look at it some more the next change I get. I don't have it with me now, but IIRC, it seemed almost like the groove-to-bottom distance on the pistol was too great to allow clearance (or the rails on the light too short to reach). I think I tried removing all of the interchangeable mounting options and it slid on okay. It would really surprise me if either were out of spec, but who knows I guess.

So I got a chance to screw around with it some more yesterday. I switched back to the standard mount. It was still way tighter that in should be, but I took it on and off probably 10 times and the plastic rails seem to have "worn in", because it fits about right now. Still doesn't slide on and off like it did on the XD, but I'm satisfied with the fit. Thanks for the advice.
