I have this Blackhawk offset picatinny light mount installed on my Colt 6920 with a 15 inch Troy Industries rail. It is located near the muzzle at a 90 degree angle from the top rail, on a small length of rail on the left side. This placement allows me to run my support hand pointer finger directly under the light and parallel to the barrel and flashlight, which helps me to quickly acquire targets. I find this setup to be much more effective than other clunky mounts I have on other rifles, and plan to replace them with this mount. In addition to its practicality, the Blackhawk Offset Flashlight Mount is also very lightweight and well-constructed, and has a sleek appearance. Whether you're a competitive shooter or just looking for a better way to mount your flashlight, this mount is an excellent choice.

The Blackhawk picatinny offset light mount is an outstanding product made from high quality 6061 T-6 aluminum. It is compatible with a variety of 1 inch lights, including the Fenix TK22, SureFire p2x, SureFire 6px, StreamLight ProTac HL, and more. If your light has a smaller diameter than 1 inch, you can easily make it work by using a plastic spacer or wrapping it with electrical tape, as I did with my Fenix PD35. This mount is a great value, as it is rock solid and versatile, allowing you to mount it in different configurations depending on your needs. Compared to more expensive mounts, the Blackhawk Offset Flashlight Mount offers excellent quality and comfort at an affordable price.

I used the Blackhawk Offset Flashlight Mount for a different purpose than it was originally intended. I have a Mossberg 500 shotgun with an 18.5 inch Standoff/Breacher Barrel and I wanted to mount my Streamlight ProTac 2AA Ultra Compact Tactical Light to the rail. Although the light is ideal for my needs, its barrel diameter is only 0.65 inches, while the Blackhawk Mount is designed for 1 inch diameter lights. To make it work, I found that 3/4 inch auto heater hose would fit nearly perfectly around the flashlight, making it close to 1 inch in diameter. I cut a section of heater hose to the exact width of the mount and removed a 5/16 inch strip from the hose wall to create an opening. Then, I wrapped the hose around the flashlight barrel and inserted it into the Blackhawk Mount. It took some effort and a screwdriver to hold the clamp open, but I eventually got it positioned where I wanted it.

This Blackhawk Offset picatinny rail flashlight mount is designed for flashlights with a one inch or 30mm body size, but I bought it to use with my Aimshot LS8200 Green Laser Sight. Despite having a 3/4 inch body, the laser sight came with a sleeve that allowed me to mount it in a standard 1 inch or 30mm mount. This mount fits the laser sight perfectly and provides a snug and repeatable zero, so I don't have to readjust the laser sight after cleaning or servicing my rifle. Not only does this mount work well for my laser sight, but it also helps reduce the width profile of my weapon. With the laser sight mounted on the right side rail and a Surefire M962 Weapon light on the left side rail, this mount brings the laser sight closer to the barrel, making the rifle more streamlined. The Blackhawk Offset Flashlight Mount is simple and easy to use, and looks great on the rifle. It provides a solid and secure hold, so I don't have to worry about the laser sight shifting during heavy recoil. Whether you're using it with a flashlight or a laser sight that has a spacer, this mount is a great option that provides both functionality and aesthetics.

Received product as accurately portrayed.

Excellent mount from Blackhawk! Made of high quality 6061 T-6 aluminum. Fits a variety of my 1" lights. It fits my Fenix TK22, SureFire p2x, SureFire 6px, Streamlight ProTac HL, and a few others. Even if your light is a bit smaller than 1-inch diameter, you can always improvise something, you can buy a plastic spacer from many companies online, or do what I did, wrap a couple of layers of electrical tape around the light, as I did with my Fenix PD35, and it will clamp down tight with no wiggle room or play. Excellent offset light mounts for the money. Yes, there are more expensive mounts out there, but this one is rock solid, comfortable, and can be mounted in several different places and configurations depending on where you want your light and how you want to activate it. So why pay more?

Even though this says it's for flashlights, I bought mine to use with an Aimshot LS8200 Green Laser Sight; most flashlights have one inch or 30mm body size so this mount was designed to fit these sizes; however, my LS8200 laser sight has about a 3/4" inch body but it also came with a sleeve so it could be mounted in a 1" or 30mm standard mount which is what I used with the Blackhawk Offset flashlight mount and it fits perfect and nice and snug and gives me repeatable zero when I remove and reinstall the laser sight like when cleaning and servicing my rifle, so I don't have to go out and readjust my laser sight after I clean my rifle. Another nice thing about this is it cuts down on the weapons width profile because I have the laser sight mounted on the right side on my railed fore-end and a Surefire M962 Weapon light on the left side-rail so if the laser was in a standard mount like the flashlight it makes the rifle a bit wide, but this mount brings the laser sight in closer to the barrel and out of the way. This amount is fairly simple and easy to use, and also looks nice on the rifle and puts the laser sight closer to the barrel so it's not sticking out two or three inches away from the barrel and it's a very solid mount, and I don't have to worry if it'll hold up to heavy recoil that could make it shift and screw up my laser sights zero, it's solid and won't budge once tightened down. If you have a nice laser sight that came with a spacer, then it'll fit this mount, or you can use it with a flashlight too, which is its intended purpose, but I thought it would probably work with a laser sight, and it does very well and did I mention it looks really good too

Very pleased with the mount. I tried a number of other options before I settled for this one. It is slim, lightweight, but sturdy. It also positions the flashlight exactly where I need it - does not block the Magpul back-up sight deployment button and does not intrude into the holo sight field of view, while being reasonably close to the receiver.

This is the third mount I've bought from Blackhawk. One for my AR rifle, SBR, and shotgun. Simple, rugged design that doesn't take up a lot of space. Easy on and easy off. Ensure the outside diameter of the light your using is 1" I'm using a Surefire G2. I would recommend it.
