Switchback Tactical Flashlight Ring
I’m not a tactical guy. And I don’t operate operationally in operations. But I can sort of see this being useful somewhat:
Pro being that you can use the flashlight without using the gun, unlike pistol mounted lights. So, you know, you don’t muzzle the cat at 0 dark 30 when you hear that bump in the night, which is probably your cat.
The con being that it looks to make shooting a bit more awkward and, as in the video, magazine changes a lot more awkward.

seems like a great lever for someone to break your finger as they wrestle for your gun.

I’ve always wanted to shoot the darn cat . Now I have an excuse .

Surefire has had the same thing for ages, but in a slip-on rubber doohicky. I’ve had one on my bedside G2 for years, mostly to keep it from rolling away.

It’s similar to the Graham Combat rings that Surefire sells. They actually work simply and very well. They allow you to use a 2 handed grip on the gun. And mag changes are easy, it doesn’t get in the way and you don’t have to put it down to do it.
Of course the Swithcback rings = Costa!

Your problem isn’t that you don’t operate operationally in operations – it’s that you don’t operate operationally in operations in an operational way. Once you get that operation figured out operationally, you’ll be an operational operator!

That’s so tactical my FDE panties just got soiled.

And Chris Costa helped design it, so it is a must have.

And if it also includes pictures of Chris Costa using it, I will buy extras.
