    Love this light. And the latest version does offer a red laser with the bright white light.

      Mistake. My bad

    I prefer two light settings. In other words have a switch to reduce it to a lower lumen setting . Going from pitch darkness to 850 lumen may temporarily blind a suspect but it might blind the shotgun operator too.

    I would gladly purchase one of these forend lights if they made a version or an adapter so that it would fit my Remington V3 shotgun.

      If they make a light for the V3. I could put it on my TAC-13. Let’s hope the folks at Streamlight read your comment.

    Cool….Eliminates having to bolt a light to a tri-rail on the magazine tube. I suspect the next model will have a laser incorporated too

    • Michael Christensen May 17, 2019, 2:09 pm

      At close range, my best guess would be to just shoot where your light is pointed. Shouldn’t need a laser with a shotgun.
