New Glock Tactical Light

I have mounted a new tactical light to my Glock but I don't really know how to secure it properly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Please look at the pictures and offer better ideas than a rubber band if you have any.

Thanks,
Eaker

They make bigger and brighter ones??

Damn, I didn't know that!

It is possible to rig a grip mount for it.
A frame mount would likely be better..

Of course, one can always use my coffee before attempting to make said mount..
Then hours of fun will be had..

I hold the .50BMG in my left hand.

I also use heavy bullets so the balance is not that bad.

Have you ever seen those plastic straps they use to hold flexible A/C duct work in place. It has braids that tighten up as you pull the end of the strap through the opening at one end.

Doesn't the Postman take umbrage at that?

He hasn't been heard from in a while.

Somebody must be dropping the mail over there.

Chicken!!

LOL!!!

When I did something similar with my Kimber Ultra CDP II, I used two 4-inch diameter stainless steel hose clamps. Holds it real tightly, but I'm having a bit of trouble using my IWB holster...

100 mph duct tape, camo of course. I'm still looking for a tactical rail for my carbide lamps so I can mount them to my 1858 Remington New Model Army clones.

On the other hand here's a real world sit-rep on home defense at o dark thirty.

A 60-year-old avid sportsman turned the tables on a pair of armed men Thursday by returning their gunfire, killing one of them after they broke into his Roselle home in the middle of the night, police said....

Police said the pair ambushed the man and fired at him sometime after midnight in his dining room at his home near Elsmere....

"The intruders shoot twice and the victim returns fire in the direction of the muzzle fire and flash light and hits both men," Navarro said. "One got out the front door and the other ran out the back door. The victim retreated to his room to call the police.

Nice work, two shots, two hits, one goblin removed from the board, and one hurtin'.

....and have I got advice for you!
Stay away from the sauce when handling firearms with large lights attached!

Eaker....he ain't right.........Momma dropped him on his noggin way to many times. Couldn't even get a dead cat bounce after a while. But he floats realllllllll good ! We used him as a bobber for years.

Hey Tom !..........DUCT TAPE !

Yer a nut son.......Stay Safe.

After you rig the light on, think about adding a bayonet.

[trussell]

Might I suggest Superglue, or Duct tape!

BTW... I ordered my speed loaders today, they will be in Thursday. (I ordered 2, just for good measure!)

"I hold the .50BMG in my left hand. "
Then the solution from the old joke "and how do you think I was ringing the doorbell?" might be appropriate. Seriously, the best you could do would be to use IR light [these are much smaller] and night vision goggles. The LEOs whose opinions I heard on the subject preferred to keep the light as far to the side from the shooter's body as possible, hence two-hands approach.

Still have the 'hellglock' image?

I think it will fit in my Galco OWB holster.

People give me a wide berth when I am down to the Wal-Mart 'cause they think I have a growth.

Bonus!!!

[Cagey]

Still needs a tact light, though.

[Vermonter]

Never mind, found it

Are you kidding?

I might hurt somebody!!

[Vermonter]

Thanks! I actually found it on Google ;-}
