Pressure switch?

Post by T_M » 26 Jul 2014, 9:00 pm

Do you use a pressure switch for your light?

I'd like upgrade from a Led Lenser for shooting rabbits at 50-100m with a .22

I'm tossing up between getting:
  • EagleTac S200C2 + Pressure switch + mount
  • EagleTac T25C2 + Pressure switch + mount
  • Nitecore MT25 Hunting Kit
  • Nitecore P16

Do you have the switch near the trigger and have to hold it to switch the light on?

Or does it just "click" on and off? (i.e. put the pressure pad in an easy to reach place to click on/of)

i have it up the stock a bit so my left thumb can press it, you have to hold it down but there is a button on the end of the torch that you can press if you want it to stay on

I am in the same process with regards to what light to mount on my rifle.
I have borrowed a O' Light M3X Triton 1000 Lumen, complete with all accessories, pressure switch, rechargeable batteries, car charger, haven't used it in the field yet, but, tried it out last night with a dummy run, and it is 'Truly Unbelievable', great light, will definitely buy one on that alone, as for pressure switch, I will stick the switch on to the fore end of the rifle with Velcro, that is comfortable, and the easiest location for me to reach and use with my thumb.
