Generic flashlight mount for a Pistol?

[Ronald_55]

I have seen these for rifles, but does anyone know of one for a pistol that can fit smaller lights? I think it would be nice to have since I carry a little Olight I3T but do not want a light on my pistol at all times. I also am not terrible fond of having a holster to fit a specific light. I could carry the mount in my bag and add the light to my pistol if I encounter a need for it. 

I have found one, but is for a 1 inch tube size flashlight. My Olight is just over 1/2 inch. This would be close to what I am looking for if it fit my Olight https://amzn.to/3ATDLT8

I have never seen anything that is for less than a 1" tube.  Might be easier to get a ring for one of the 1" tube lights and throw the light with the ring in your bag if you don't want to carry.  getting something affixed to your pistol quickly that will withstand recoil is going to be hard to find, this would allow you to get a light quickly while maintaing grip and holster options.

By what you have described, you’re better off retaining the light in hand. A pistol light is going to be a dedicated item. Even having one (like I have on almost all of my pistols) doesn’t absolve the need for a handheld. (Not everything that needs to be illuminated needs to be muzzled.)

 

I’m a fan of multi-use items as a general rule. Pistol mounted lights are an exception to that rule. There is no way to mount a handheld light to a pistol that is not lacking in every way that would make it useful on a pistol. 
 

Sorry.

I may just have to buck up and either get a dedicated light or live with handheld.
