After reading the excellent and plentiful advice given in Jim Thorpe's thread asking about a home defense shotgun, I had some more questions about recommendations for a shotgun light+mount.
I have a Remington 870 Express 20ga Youth model (1" or 2" shorter LOP, so my wife can hold it comfortably) with the standard 4-round tube. I have a $100 prepaid Amex card that I can devote to this project, so I'd like to keep the total cost under $100.
Here are the options I've seen so far:
-ATI clamp + Surefire G2 LED (advantage: flashlight can be used standalone)
-Botach Tactical Light Package 1 (I've heard mixed reviews about Botach. Not sure how stable the "universal" shotgun mount is, and if it will work well on a 20ga barrel. Advantage: the flashlight can be used by itself.)
-Botach Tactical Light Package 2 (Same as above. Light has a strobe function, not sure if that's useful or not. If I ever upgraded to a full-size pistol I might be able to use the TLR-1s on the pistol also.)
-Streamlight 870 mount + a Streamlight TLR-1/2/3 (If I can fit a TLR-3 on there, I'll have the option of using it on my Springfield XD40 subcompact. Not entirely sure if that 870 mount works with the TLR series though.)
Thoughts? Advice? Ridicule?
