After my Colt 6920 KB'd on me I've had to rely upon my Winchester Model 1300 Stainless Marine 12 gauge and my SIG556 for home defense. Now, those are formidable firearms to be sure, but I have learned through training that, for me, the ergonomics of the AR15 platform works best. Anyway, as many already know I lucked into a deal on the Sig Sauer M400 Enhanced last November and then the AR15 madness began shortly thereafter. I went about ordering what I needed but it's been slow going with pieces and parts coming in sporadically. When I got home from Houston last night the final piece had come in the mail. I had ordered a Surefire Scout M300 weapon light and HSP Thorntail Mount combo but the M300 Scout had been on indefinite back order for a LONG time. A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to fire a friends AR15 with the INFORCE® WML HSP (Weapon Mounted Light - Haley Strategic Partners) to it using a Thorntail 1913 Offset Adaptive Mount. I was so impressed that I IMMEDIATELY canceled the order for the Scout light and ordered the INFORCE® WML HSP / Thorntail 1913 Offset Adaptive Mount Combo. This setup is PERFECT for me as it mounts the light high and forward and at an angle positioning the uniquely angled momentary switch right where one's thumb would naturally be using the "thumb break method" of weapons manipulation (which I'm also sold on seeing vastly improved followup shots since I've began using it). Anyway, here are the particulars:
