I've been struggling trying to figure out where to attach my streamlight tlr-1 on my shotgun. I have 3 problems: (1) I want to avoid mounting it in any area where I might have negligent light discharge if I accidentally press against it with my pump hand; (2) I want to have it where it can be relatively easily accessed with the pump-hand. (3) When I do "1", I mess up "2"; When I do "2", I have to compromise on "1".
I'm personally not too much into the surefire foregrip design because it forces one to work with two buttons (the deadswitch, completely disabling the light to prevent NDs, and the on-off button that works after deadswitch is diactivated).
Vertical grip might be a good solution to this (it moves the hand away from the light, preventing NDs), but it makes my HD shotgun clumsier and bulkier than I want it to be.
So, how do y'all solve this problem? Where do you place your shotgun WML, so as to prevent light NDs, and still have the light quickly accessible with the front hand?
