The key thing, and it's hard to do because I have trouble with it, is to buy one and upgrade it instead of buying more. If I wasn't buying more guns I could have alot more attachments on mine.
He’ll I have a flashlight mounted to my rifle with tactical rubberbands but I’m a poor. Hasn’t failed me during any training yet but yeah I’ll definitely invest in a real mount asap
Yeah I was about to say, is it really that hard to screw in M-LOK? And why is quick disconnect so important? Do you only have one flashlight for all your setups? Smh dude 😒
ya but for a light you may want to idk switch between different rifles or carry offhand in the moment, maybe to shed weight because you dont want the white light on, and you have your passive/laser aiming system all set up. You can just pop the white light off. I think it’s neat. Especially for people who cant afford multiples of something like a surefire
The Kinetic M-Lok mounts are great if your rifle never leaves the safe. As soon as they get in contact with a pinch of dirt they bind up. But what do I know. Keep buying unnecessary shit
Yeah it looks like you could bang it up against a wall and it would destroy the mount. I haven’t tried Mlok and some brands probably make it very well, but picatinny rails just seem to encompass a wider hold on things and contrary to the above, you can set it to a specific torque/tension.
@@callmeeazii Yeah. We 550 cord everything to our rifles because when you are taking fire you'd be surprised how violently you actually move and how rough you are in general with your equipment.
Yep. No thread locker, it won’t fall off, optics don’t need to be re-zeroed, slings don’t have to be threaded through anything and can be removed quickly to provide medical aid… QD is worth every penny.
I see it being useful for hunting say your out tracking and it get dark out and you don't have a flashlight but the one on your gun well you can take it off super quick and easy then you have a hand held so your not using your whole rifle I've tracked a animals at night with nothing but a phone light at 25% battery and a mile from the truck its not a fun time since then I have alot of lights and alot of batteries 😅
Wish all M-Lok was like that. Back when it was a debate between m-lok and keymod I was all in on keymod cause it was just easier to add or remove what you needed
If there's some unforeseeable and unfortunate reason to abandon ur rifle it gives u a quick and easy way to remove it. Not sure it'd ever be useful but still nice to have. Also makes swapping between weapons quick and easy if u don't wanna pay hundreds to add a light to each gun
I like the mount. But not super secure as you mentioned. It pops off many of my metal mlok rails. Seems to only be totally secure on magpul polymer handguards.
Bought a QD pic rail for a bipod, it ended up not locking on tight enough as I’d accidentally push a pin back in if I tried to use forwards pressure on the pod. The accessory is much more useful on the flashlight, where I can remove excess bulk for travel/daytime shooting.
I have a similar attachment for my magpul bi-pod. It's a big hit at the range, and I'm sure I've helped this company sell quite a few of these connectors.
that last point can easily be proven false, many times throughout humanities various wars, people were or weren't issued things they should have had or had different forms of. heck just look at all the bs troops after 9\11 had to deal with and all the current lawsuits for things they either didn't get or got something detrimental to their deployment, ergo the diarrhea mres,3m earplus etc,that's just USA from our last big conflict and those are just big ones everyone should know. now I'm not saying these are good,I'm just saying their quality is irrelevant when it comes to what soldiers are issued, dont fool around, literally everyone knows milspec stands for lowest bidder ergo lowest quality of competition. the government issues soldiers the bare minimum, always has,only spec ops get any special treatment. they only care you have what's required to do the job, how fast,well,encompassing, etc are much less important "our job is not to wonder why,our job is only to do or die" heard that before? that's all you mean to the government, a bullet sender and bullet sponge for lobbied interesters, if you have the gear to do the job that's all they care about, nothing extra.
Very interesting mount. I wonder how it does in practical use? I’ve seen a lot of stuff be the next best thing only to get handed to a LCpl and dash the dreams of every design engineer that thought they struck it big.
You gotta keep them clean. If you get dirt, water or other crap in there, the parts will stick/corrode over time. For range toys I find them very useful (I don't have the same one for my surefire but they use the same squeeze and lock system). I had to contact customer service about one of the mlok tabs not unlocking
Why did you remove the head of the flashlight and hold the battery in while you changed that mount ?????? 🤔 am i missing something ? Couldnt you have just left the light together and change the mount ? Or was that to make the reel longer ???? I watched it again to be sure and it is definitely a pointless step....
@@nicolepham3836 it’s weird though you’d think he’d provide more context than it supposedly breaking in six months. Like, what does “last” mean? What broke? Did he bang it against something, etc. thanks hope this helps have a Great weekend 👌
@@electrichellion5946 what day specifically was this?? Or month/time of year? Need to watch for this. Had a personal on my helmet (as a vol.

I may be out of the loop but how are some of these flashlights like 400$? The hardware is that same as any cheap 5$ flashlights, is it just brand name?
So you have to reach forward to turn it on? Taking your aim off the target and lessen muzzle discipline for a tacticool device? Not to mention that if you have to reach forward to turn the night on, your focus is off target and give up position, making your tacticool device worthless. 2 Shots to your dome as you turn on your cool light
I don’t like that the head of the light sits right above the muzzle device. It’s gonna cloud up the lense so quickly or even potentially break it. I’d move it back just one slot if possible. I know it can be mount right near it, but idk that I’d want it that close to the opening due to carbon build up on the lense.
I know this may sound silly, and I definitely don't even go here, but this would be awesome for competitive foam flinging builds too! Super handy gadget for lots of gun adjacent hobbies!
Nothing with quick disconnects. Asking for trouble. And in the light department.....have read dozens of Seal Team stories how pressure pads are not desired. Gives away position when mistakenly touched.
Its for people like game wardens,cops on dept budgets and folks with a low budget.....yes,people that dont need to use a rifle too often so one can put their duty flashlight on the longun in the rare need arises and save some money.
why does your flashlight need a qd? weapon lights are only expensive due to durability concerns just carry a handheld light which will inevitably be cheaper if you feel the need to detach a light from your gun
Yeah that's pretty cool. I'm glad I went with an Odin flashlight for my AR build. It's very bright prices affordable and the mount it comes with has a quick release feature so I don't have to buy any after market parts, spending even more money. Easy to charge, bright, has a green laser and a quick mount feature. Mine has given me zero problems.
So tell me why you have a reason to move your WML on and off your gun? That light has IR capabilities which means if you’re running nods you will likely have a dual switch setup. That means moving it off and on is a hassle and unnecessary. Just use the standard mount, save weight time and money

What is that set called again and where do i find the price
Yes, it is necessary to tactical reload everything
My wife won't stop giggling
It’s a cool and convenient design but, all those extra parts makes it have more ways to break, and those the worst part… more heavy.
