Adding a Light Rail to a 1911

[Jewmadbro?]

Take training on how to employ a weapon mounted light (or any light for that matter properly) and this is a non issue when you use it properly.

Don't be a light house.

What are the available options for adding a rail? Dawson doesn't appear to be available anymore. Anybody have the back story on that? I've seen a 3 or so manufacturers offering an addon light rail for the 1911 but the best (and probably most expensive) option I've found is the Surefire MR07 that replaces the slide release.



Never owned a Sig and if I'm going to buy a single stack full size .45 it will be a 1911. I wouldn't mind owning a 226, 228, or 229 in 9mm though (I think those models were all available in 9mm anyway) and probably with the DAK trigger. I really don't care for the SA/DA trigger and rather be DAO.

That P220 is SAO.

On second thought get a light! Don't end up like blade runner and double tapping your wife by "accident"....

Oh ya? I couldn't click on it here at work. Didn't realize it was a SAO only. What's it going for? How does it work for a trigger safety than? I thought they only had the hammer drop on them?

I actually saw that headline on NBC News but didn't put two and two together. I was thinking of the Harrison Ford movie from the 80's

Ive mistakenly looked into my led light at 5 lumens. Id hate to look at a 60-200lumen light head on.

You don't need a light! It just screams, "Hey shoot at me right here!"
