Light Mounts & Accessories
A weapon-mounted light is only as good as the switch and mount holding it in place. Impact Guns carries the mounting hardware, remote pressure switches, replacement batteries, and chargers that keep SureFire Scout Lights and Streamlight TLR series lights running—M-Lok and Picatinny rail grabber mounts, tape switches in multiple lengths, and battery packs and smart chargers sized for the lights you already own.

Why a Remote Pressure Switch Changes How You Use a Weapon Light
A tailcap switch requires reaching to the back of the light to activate it—awkward with a proper firing grip. A remote pressure switch routes the activation button to your handguard or grip instead, so you can turn the light on without breaking your grip or shifting your hand position.
M-Lok vs. Picatinny Rail Grabber Mounts
An M-Lok mount attaches directly into an M-Lok slot on a compatible handguard—lower profile, no separate rail section needed. A Picatinny rail grabber mount instead clamps onto a length of Picatinny rail. Which one you need depends entirely on your handguard's attachment system, not personal preference.
Matching a Switch or Mount to Your Specific Light Model
SureFire and Streamlight both make switches and mounts that are model- or series-specific rather than universal—a switch built for the Scout Light series won't necessarily fit a TLR-series weapon light. Check the compatible-model list on the specific listing before ordering.
Rechargeable Battery Packs vs. Disposable Cells
A rechargeable pack like the Streamlight SL-B9 avoids the ongoing cost of disposable CR123A batteries and pairs with a smart charger for quick turnaround between range sessions. Disposable cells cost more over time but don't require remembering to charge anything before you need the light.
Smart Chargers and Bank Chargers for Multiple Batteries
A single smart charger like the Streamlight SL-20L handles one battery at a time with charge-state monitoring built in. A bank charger, like Streamlight's 8-unit model, charges multiple batteries simultaneously—worth it if you're maintaining several lights or a duty rotation rather than a single personal weapon light.
Replacing a Worn Tailcap or Switch Assembly
A tailcap or switch assembly that's cracked, sticking, or making inconsistent contact is a common failure point on an otherwise-working light—replacing just the switch assembly is usually far cheaper than replacing the entire light, provided the replacement part matches your exact model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a SureFire tape switch fit any Scout Light? Most SureFire remote switches are model-specific or fit a defined range of Scout Light bodies—check the listing's compatible model list before ordering rather than assuming universal fit.
What's the difference between an M-Lok mount and a Picatinny rail grabber mount? An M-Lok mount attaches directly into an M-Lok slot on a handguard; a Picatinny rail grabber clamps onto a Picatinny rail instead—which one you need depends on your handguard's attachment system, not preference.
Can I use a rechargeable battery pack in a light designed for disposable batteries? Only if the specific pack is listed as compatible with your light model—check the listing before assuming a rechargeable pack is a drop-in replacement for CR123A or similar disposable cells.
