I've done a few days of research and settled on the Streamlight M3 firearms light. I want to use the magazine extension mount and just the standard flip-switch on the light itself. It'll look a little like this but I'm planning on mounting it on the left side of the weapon:
My question is, since I'm spending about $150 or so on the setup, I want to know if I'm spending it wisely or if anybody has experience with another setup that would serve my purposes better? What I want is something less than $200 total cost that will be reliable and won't get in the way of my bottom-mount sling. I'm getting a Wilson Combat vertical sling mount and mag extension. I will not have a barrel clamp. The only other thing I want this light to do is easilly transfer from my 870 to my M-4gery when I need it to. That's a tall order and I'd like alternatives if I can get them.
