    Securing a pressure switch to a pistol grip

    I have an H&K USP45 full size, and a Streamlight M6 light/laster combo. I bought a pressure activated switch for the streamlight that allows me to turn the light on by applying pressure to the switch. But it did not come with a rubber strap to secure this switch to the grip. I've seen them all over the place, but can't seem to find out where to get them.

    Does anyone know who makes the black rubber strap for this? I know there is the Hogue Handall, and I might get that. But it has extra finger grooves on it, and a lot of features I'm not sure that I really need.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    I have a hogue on my g17 it feels nice, the finger ridges actually make the grip a bit better.

    I prefer the fingertip switch on the streamlight TLR2

      Try using a piece of bicycle innertube. That's what I've used on several of my rifle vertical foregrips to hold tapeswitches in place.

      Hit a bicycle shop and buy an innertube that's about 1/4" or so smaller diameter than the grip on your HK, cut out a section approx 2"-3" inches long (to suit you) and put it over the grip. Insert tapeswitch. Voila.

      FYI, make sure you check the inner diameter of the tubing against the measured diameter of your pistol grip. I've found that anything over 1/4" difference can be too tight and is a royal b!tch to use.

      Hope this works for you.
