Rail Mounted Tactical Flashlight with Pressure Switch for Shotgun?

[Arin Morris]

Anybody have any suggestions that won't break the bank? I'm pretty much looking for something that can withstand the recoil of a 12 gauge.

I have a fenix light mounted on my 590a1. So far it has held up just fine. Its a model TK11, paid 70 for the light and the pressure switch runs $15-20 bucks. It's rated at 285 lumens and it is very bright and well made.

Thanks for the response. How do you have it mounted? I'm looking at mounting mine to a Picatinny rail.

I use a Surefire X300 attached to one of these mounted on the mag tube of my Mossberg 500 at the 9 o'clock position. While my left hand is on the pump, I can operate the X300 with my thumb or finger. Recoil from the 12 gauge is a non issue.

I use an elzetta tactical shotgun mount. It's very sturdy. Mine does not have rails, but you can find several options to rail mount. I don't use the remote switch. Mine mounts to the left side and I can easily push the on/off switch with my thumb or finger when holding the fore end.
