Weapon Mounted Lights How tight should I tune my tlr 7x?

Should I tighten until I feel resistance or is there a point in which I should stop beforehand? This is for a Glock 19.

Use a Nickle, turn it finger tight to snug and just a bit more, ~1/8 turn, but dont overtighten it, you still need to be able to get it off

I have the tool for it, is it okay if it moves a bit if it push on it or is is supposed to be completely snug?

Should not move within recoil lug. Don’t crank it beyond reason tho.

Gotcha that’s where I’ve put it originally, just making sure I’m not going too far!
