Weaponlight options

[Tollis]

Hey guys, I'm getting a new USP, and I am going to be getting a type of weapon mounted light for it, what I was thinking for it is the Insight M2 UTL or the Surefire X300, they both seem like some of the best choices from what I have seen, Another good addon would be a laser, but I don't exactly need one, and I haven't found an M2 with a laser on it. Well, thanks guys in advance.

I might be wrong, but isn't the USP limited in what type of light it can use, unless you buy an adapter rail for it? I thought they had a wider rail, but maybe not.

Otherwise, an M3 or M6 wouldn't be bad, and airsoft versions are relatively cheap.

Don't get a laser unless you can find some 1337 modded version with an IR or Green diode in it. My red laser on my M6 is pretty much useless in any environment aside from a pitch black room.

Thor is correct. But Tanaka makes a pretty neat-looking light module specifically for the USP. Otherwise there are (last I counted) 5 manufacturers of rail adapters including KA.

The M2 UTL is specifically designed for a USP frame, and the light would be going on an Rs USP Compact so clone lights probably wouldn't hold up especially on a .40 cal model. Thanks for the suggestions its a tough decision now. I have nothing else to say

Go with the Surefire x300/mount combo. From what I have heard the m3x doesn't last near as long and you can never go wrong with a Surefire.

I think, but I'm not sure, that Roughneck might have a UTL still that he was trying to sell, all it would need is a new bulb and bezel.

[Tollis]

Alright I'll send him a pm, and yes crazyrabbit, I know surefire awesome, I have a g2, I just am having a hard time deciding, they both look awesome, but the M2 UTL looks like it would be better paired with USP as it has a similar style of the USP.

Trollis- I happen to have a spare adapter for a USP .45 if you are interested. I believe it to be the NC Star model.

GG&G makes an adapter for the USP, and it retails for a mere $48 on OpticsPlanet.

I would suggest a Streamlight TLR-1 or TLR-2 (2 has the laser and is twice the price...). I've owned and will again own a TLR-1 and I absolutely love it. Its got adapters for glocks, rails, etc. and is nice and bright. Retails at $102!
