I'm in the process (slow process) of optimizing my 870 for home defense. First step was adding a pistolgrip buttstock. Next step (once I get the $$) I think will be to add some sort of taclight. My experience with MOUT training in the army has shown me that, for me at least, the best place for the light "trigger" is on the foregrip.
So far the best looking thing I've seen is the Surefire 618FA, with the light integrated into a replacement foregrip. My unit at Ft Lewis has had overall excellent experience using Surefire lights on their M4 rifles, so I'm looking at getting one of these. Anyone out there have any opinions they could share on this item?
Also, I recall an article in the Aug 2001 G&A where they tricked out an 870. For their "dream gun" they attached a Surefire M900 (integrated light and vertical foregrip) to an add-on foregrip with accessory rails on it. The M900 is out of my price range at $450, but I'm still interested in where they got the foregrip with rails on it.
