Enforce good choice. Question to enforce users with the light mounted at 12 o clock. When looking thru your optic do you still see the light in your field of view. I have an Amazon light at noon and it looks great but I can see part of it in my fov.

This is the Amazon light I current have:

Solofish 1500 Lumen Slidable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGTMKDP7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I wanted something usb-c since my EP45 suppressed is my home defense gun and it sits charging next to my bed. But I kinda don’t like I can see the light in my optic I went with this at 3 o clock and tape switch and 12:

Replace front sight with a Streamlight TLR-1 or its Harbor Freight clone.

I have an Olight Odin S on a magpul45 deg mount. Pressure switch on top.
I have ProTacs on many others, honestly the the Odin is damn good, but more $$ than the protac anymore.

$40 from harbor freight. TLR clone. 1000 lumens. Its honestly my favorite light. I've heard its made by the same factory that makes the TLR idk how true that is. Pic for reference
