870 HD shotgun - Elzetta light mount

[Trekbike]

I wanted to show some pictures of a light mount I recently added to my 870 HD shotgun. I saw this mount online from Elzetta and wanted to give it a try. It is US made and I was very impressed on the quality. Top notch. It offers a very secure mount. While I haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet, I don’t expect any movement even with the small diameter light I have in the mount due to the smaller extra inserts that come in the kit.

The position and style offers good light activation by your thumb while your hand is on the forestock. In summary I would recommend at least giving it a look if you need a light mount for your HD shotgun.

very nice setup! I've been eyeing that same mount for a while now.

What light are you running on it?

What light are you running on it?

I'm too cheap for Surefire so it's a Streamlight 88031 Protac 2L. It has 3 modes -high, strobe, low, in that order.

Nothing wrong with Streamlight at all. I'm also too cheap for Surefire and I personally feel they are overrated(don't tell 56FordGuy)

I've been told worse.

Streamlights are solid lights, I've had one in my toolbag for four or five years. No complaints, other than the string of bad chargers I had right after I bought it.

Can that mount be swapped to put the light on the other side? Would be more lefty- friendly that way.

Yes, the mount can be flipped around to the other side for a lefty. The light can be put in either way.

Now all you need is a pressure switch! I have been looking for a flashlight/mount both for mine as well and have yet to decide on one.

Sweet setup man, NICE!

Just wanted to offer an update. I had a chance to put 10 rounds of 00 Buckshot through it yesterday and not a hint of any movement with the mount or light. I highly recommend this mount.
