so does that mean everyone uses weapon mounted lights and no one uses a standard flashlight??

I have a giant 4 D-cell Maglite. It's my nightstand flashlight/club.

For a non-tacti-cool flashlight, I'm thinking any bright LED flashlight will do, since it doesn't have to handle the hammering of the pistol firing (for weapon mounted lights). I like the giant maglites because, well, they are basically heavy metal tubes, and can throw a big fat beam to illuminate the area (and blind the bad guy), though it might be hard to hold a large light AND a pistol with the other hand.

I went with a trigger guard rail adapter for my 2nd Gen G22. I found this adapter sometime ago but wasn't sure about it.




Clickity the picture for the site.

Perhaps you can be the guinea pig? I couldn't find any reviews on it. There doesn't seem to be any holster options for a Glock w/rail adapter and light (except for a Fobus that I don't like). I was thinking this may work for me, pop off the light and it might clear a holster or just pony up and get a nice Kydex holster made. LOL.

Your pretty much SOL if your not wanting to use the clamp. I wouldn't ever try and alter the front of that frame and knowing how Glock .40's (especially early ones acted with lights), I wouldn't do anything other than the clamp.

Nothing wrong with the old school method (Harris technique). I still use it. A rail is always great though, I always recommend people opt for them if they can.

That rail adapter that covers the serial plate doesn't look super stable, but if it works it works. I'd opt out of that.

I am wanting to use a flashlight in one of the old school methods
Flashlight in one hand and Glock in the other

I do not want a clamp on setup

I use Harris method and typically have one on the rail, so two. That said the two or three people have posted I'm almost postiive are the only way. Or ductape

I didn't think about the serial being blocked, would that be a problem?

Sorry, I didn't consider this rail adapter a clamp on. If that's the case, what Glock Gen 2 problems do you have other than not having a rail?

Well no, on the contrary, its another method I had never even heard of, but it looks like you have to epoxy it in or use some sorta industrial strength glue to make it stay. The covering the serial number probably isnt an issue since its on the frame, slide, barrel etc....

According to the site it uses a sort 3M double sided tape and is easy to remove as well. I can't find a single review on it on a google search and on youtube =) I'm tempted to get one just to try it and review it myself. I've seen some pretty damn strong 3M tape before so it could hold up.

It's possible. If its cheap it may be fun to try. But I'm wary of putting anything on a Glock .40 rail, let alone an older one that will need a clamp or altered.

I just might when I have some money to burn, the thing is like $30 something.

I currently have the trigger guard clamp adapter on my 2nd Gen G22 and haven't had a single problem with it. That could all be due to the fact that it's being supported by the trigger guard and not the frame under the barrel. I would like to clean up the extra bulk a bit.

3M tape? Screams hot mess to me.

The Gen 2 is what it is. If you want a weapon mounted light, get a Gen 3 or newer. Otherwise use one of the many hand held methods and a hand held light like the rest of us.

How can I say this any clearer
I DO NOT WANT WEAPON MOUNTED

I want a flashlight
NOT a weaponlight

What FLASHLIGHT would be reccomended??
