Picked up a 590 Magpul edition last week, and got to shoot it today for the first time. I mounted my Streamlight TLR-1s all the way forward on the left side of the forend in order to see how it would handle the combination of 00 buckshot and slugs. This is my first dedicated "HD" shotgun, so I've never shot with a WML. Got a nasty surprise after the first shot when I thought the light had ripped my thumbnail off. Come to find out it had just hit the tip of my thumb, but still felt like somebody nailed it with a ball peen hammer. I tried modifying my grip on the forend, but after a few more shots I just removed the light.
Has anyone else had an issue like this? Right now I'm looking for another alternative for mounting a WML. The Surefire forend looks like the best option, but the $300 price tag almost makes the hammer look attractive.
On the bright side, I'm really liking the shotgun. It's the 20" barrel/8+1 capacity version with ghost ring sights. Picked it up for $450 including the FFL fee.
