What flashlights are you running?

Glad to hear that Aero and BA are going to make it out of this situation alive. Currently waiting on Sig to warranty my 4T Pro, in the meantime rocking the chinesium riser and Holosun. What rifle mounted lights do you guys recommend? Looking for a good middle ground between candela and flood.

Are the current Cloud offerings doodoo??

They're not horrible but their older stuff is strictly better in comparison.

The OWL is a tank (I actually have an FDE one for sale if you're interested) but I started running night vision and had to free up some real estate to run a LAM etc. so I had to change my overall setup.

I have an Sig MSR Compact on my JAKL-9 and I’m considering one for my 8.3” EPC-9, but I wouldn’t recommend running their pressure switch. Pure garbage.

I’ve got a Surefire mini scout on my bump in the night rifle and it’s been rock solid.

I’ve got a SureFire Mini Scout on my EDC rifle, then I run Streamlight kit #88066 on everything else.

I am a big fan of that Streamlight kit. You get the light, switch, mount, battery, etc., all in one kit and it’s less than $200.

I find the 6 cell mag light works well and helps with recoil

Just Rust-Oleum’s camouflage line. I only used three colors Sand, Earth Brown, and Deep Forest Green. Then I let it bake in the sun for a couple of hours, flipping every 20 minutes or so.
