[TacOfficer]

Gentleman,

I remember a thread was created or was spoken of extensively on another regarding mounting tactical flash lights to M-4s and ARs.

My search skills have failed me and have not been able to find this valuable advise.

The Reaper had briefly mentioned it with his Primer under "Illumination", however I was hoping to solicit a larger discussion.

Recently I had used a Viking tactics mount to attach Surefire C2 light w/push button tail cap at the 11 o'clock position of my 16bbl AR. Also mounted is a tango down vertical grip to which I maintained a thumbs forward grip with my support hand.

Last week I received the Surefire XM07. I attached it and replaced the Viking mount with a LaRue LT606. Similar mount, slightly different offset and metal, not plastic. Also installed the tape switch that came with the XM07 to the TD vert grip.

This is the current setup. My question and I know it may just be personal preference, but: Do I keep the light in the 11 o' clock position or is there some practical reason for moving it to the 3 o' clock position I see in many posts and photos?

Comments, criticisms and suggestions are encouraged and appreciated.
