[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4077410, member: 35036"] While he isnt the end all source of information, I really like how Lucas Botkin presents things. He makes it easy for people, whether they have zero experience, or lots of experience. He also presents quality options for people with a budget, which is a nice change from your average "Buy a $600 surefire and a DBAL and stop being a poor". Solid info in general. [MEDIA=youtube]iiZtD1KatDk[/MEDIA] With a $300 budget I would buy a $100 floodlight for the shotgun, and a high output long throw light for the AR with the rest. In general, if you can't see it, you can't hit it. Or at least, you can't decide if you wanna hit it. For the 870 and $100, This is what I would get: Mount: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gggaz.com/remington-870-sling-and-flashlight-combo-mount.html[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gggaz.com/g2-flashlight-mounting-ring.html[/URL] Light: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/SureFire-Tactical-Single-Output-Flashlight-tailcap/dp/B009F7J8RA/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=surefire+weapons+light&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-6[/URL] Just use the thumb to actuate the switch. For the DD with $200: Assuming you have Mlok: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-89009-2000-Lumen-Rechargeable-Weapon-Mounted/dp/B0BVT78KN1/ref=sr_1_31?keywords=surefire+weapons+light&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-31[/URL] Eventually, I would upgrade to a surefire/modlight/Malkoff for the DD and move the streamlight to the rooty tooty point n’ shooty. Then you can have the Surefire G2 as a nice pocket flashlight. Or, I would do the same setup as the 870, but with this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://malkoffdevices.com/products/turnkey-ha-flashlight-md2[/URL] Kinda leaning towards the latter, you can always upgrade later and you'll end up with a BA flashlight. I think Malkoff bodies take the 20tpi surefire XM tailcaps, which will provide a nice switch later on. Or, you just upgrade to a more purpose made weaponlight with integrated mount and you have a real nice pocket flashlight. [/QUOTE]
