Who makes a quality flashlight clamp for a 870?

Hello, I was going to buy a surefire forend light for my 870, but since I shoot southpaw, a flashlight mounted lighting system with a surefire light will be my choice. So who makes a good flashlight clamp? Thanks

www.elzetta.com and get the ZSM with thumb screw as you can take the light out easily if you need to use it.

Aippi,

Thank you, I want to ask the shortest shotgun I can build with a traditional stock is a 18" barrel with the hogue 12 lop stock?

All above mentioned are excellent choices.

Another one to add for consideration -- GG&G. I have one, and I like that it is integrated into the forend.

Side question.... do you (guys) prefer a light mounted to the forend that moves when you rack the slide? Or do you prefer a fixed mounting spot like on the mag tube or on a clamp between the mag tube & barrel, where you have an extended switch to your hand where it rests on the forend?

Different answers will require different mounting systems.
