Getting less than 100 comments on each weekly question thread so I'm moving this thread to Bi-Curious, I mean Bi-Monthly.
ask all of your Bi-Curious (but serious) questions here. Unfortunately, all of the users here are faggots so the answers will be one-sided. It's up to you to determine if that side is Top or Bottom
I want to mount a streamlight hlx to my sub 2000. Should I spend the extra $15 on the magpul aluminum mlok cantilever mount vs the polymer one? I will be removing the light every time i store the gun so I am a bit worried about wear. I'm also afraid if it lands on the flashlight the polymer cantilever rail could break
Either are fine. Wear isn’t going to be much of an issue with a quality polymer and they’re surprisingly tough. Get whichever one you want but there’s not really any reason to go with metal over polymer for occasional use
Thanks ill go with the polymer!
Consider that polymer flexing and or breaking limits the forces applied to the gun it's attached to. Kind of like a mechanical fuse. Light mounts cost less than rifles, and lights that don't blink are less likely to kill you than guns that don't bang.
If you are moving fast and get that light hung up on a concrete wall, you WANT the mount to break.
