This light seems to be designed for use on pistols. How would it work on an AR 15 with a quad rail?

This light isn't designed for a pistol in my opinion. I have it mounted on my AR and it is a great fit

Actually that particular light is designed for your tactical style weapons not pistols.

Do you not understand the concept of rapid target acquisition? If you do the product you may be looking for would be more in line with a red dot sight. First off, an AR platform, unless on a mp 4 or a unit with a less then legal length barrel is a tool that is useless for any close quarter use. To be able to gain target acquisition without a flood of white light maybe more important if in a situation where not giving up your location is more important than seeing what someone is doing.You have to be a civilian looking to play with your AR, because anyone in a par a military, be it a contract security or military wouldn't even be asking such a question.

I'm Dorothy's son Rick. I can't Help You, That's Not the Light My Brother Got. His is the 69260 the 69215 is for quad rails it says. I will say this, his is very bright, almost hurts your eyes at night. We live on 5 acres and I can see deer at the back fence line with his. The back fence line is, let me get the rangefinder, 164 yards from the back door.

Yep! I use it on my HighPoint .45 carbine! The first light I used didn't last through too many rounds of .45, but the company happily replaced it and I am happy with both the light AND the customer service!

mine is on a ruger 10-22 and it is fine for that purpose, it seems well made, but did not impress as particularly robust. If you have something to use it on if it does not suit the ar-15, it is worth the price, but I cannot speak to it's to stand up to heavier sustained shooting

I dont think so it is designed for a hand gun. Though i use it on my AR it is easily operated with my thumb on my forward hand. mounted on the left side of my quadrail.

Not ideal for AR. Better off with the regular version of this light (not combat version) if mounting to AR. The rubber ring and irregular surface of the combat light is great for holding while also holding a weapon but not very compatible with most weapon mounts. LaRue tactical makes great mounts, S&S precision also does. Surefire even has it's own.

As long as you have a rail to mount it on with a mount it is an amazing light. Have it mounted on my ar with hundreds of rounds down range with no problems. It is also extremely bright

As far as rouged and lasting I have it mounted on a 1911 .45acp and have put over 2K rounds down range with it attached. The AK is a great rifle however I would look into the Streamlight for the AR/AK platform not the handgun model. I would not personnal put this on my rifle I would use the Crimson Trace light/ lazer combo vert grip or the larger Streamlight for your application. All that said it also depends on what your doing with it, hunting hogs? get a flood light, home defence- I wouldnt use an AK...

Mine is mounted to its quad rail. Once in place you need to crank it down. You will loose accuracy if you move the hand guard after mounting it. Awesome light though. I now own three.

Its called the polytac led. I mounted this on my AR15. It stopped working about 2 months in. When I called Streamlight they told me that the light is rated for an airgun. They did not replace it and advised that they were not responsible for advertisers claim on Amazon. Look into a Nitecore CR6 chameleon for a great flashlight. It has unbelievable featured and very tough. Price is great as well.

Might be pushing it with a tactical light. Let me try with my Glock and Tac light and see.

I have used it on my .22 rifle, so I think it would work good for an Ar15. It has some great features for the smaller caliber guns.

this is made for AR15 forends that dont have a hole, if you have a quad rail setup this will not work, and will only work on shallow or thin walled forends.

As others have said, I also use this on a px4 storm and it fits great. If your pistol has a rail you should be fine. By-the-way this a great light, the beam is blinding in a darkened room.

I bought this same one, I currently use it on my Streamlight Super Tac. I have it mounted on my AR-15 as a weapon light. I know that it will fit that light. Go to Streamlight's website and pick the flashlight you want, when you do that you can scroll down and they inform you of what accessories are compatible with that unit. Once you have determined the remote switch you want get their product stock number and search for it on amazon using the stock number. That is how I did it to ensure I was buying the correct components. Hope this helps. Worst case, call Stream Light on the phone via 800 number, there receptionist should be able to tell you what will fit. Thats a guaranteed correct answer.

Yes, this is a LED light. It would be great on any weapon with a Picatinny rail. Rifle or pistol...anything with a rail.

It should work if the quadrail is level with the picatinny on the top of the receiver. I have the same setup on my Bushmaster Carbon 15 as a backup to a reflex sight. On a second AR rifle I used the same setup, except I had to get the taller removable front sight (from same maker) because it was attached to a quadrail gas block instead of the handguard. Hope this helps.
