Lights for Revolvers

[amjindiana]

Does anyone have a recommendation on lights for revolvers? I'm fairly new to the game, so I'm sure there are many options out there, but figured you all could point me in the right direction.

I don't have a particular model in mind, just wondering in general what people are using to mount their lights. Thanks!

Generally, you don't. There is at least one S&W that has a rail and was allegedly designed for the guy up front with the shield making dynamic entries, but I can't recall the name any longer. TR something or other? Otherwise you're trying to rig something up, and while I'm sure some McGuyvering can make it work...why?

Thanks for the info. I'd like to mount a light on one for home defense.

Yeah the S&W fancy performance center revolver has a rail. Although I wouldn't want 357mag for HD, I suppose you could load it with 38sp. Why are you stuck on revolvers? There are probably a number of crimson trace lights that can hook up to certain revolver frame trigger guards.

The more looking I do the more scarce they are. Oh well, thanks for all the input!

But this is only historically correct if it's attached with duct tape.

I thought it was handheld. Makes for a nice support when shooting single handed

Pretty much all modern lights mount by picatinny rail or are custom molded to the frame (of a gun popular enough to be profitable). Unless you have a pic rail on your revolver, you're looking at a handheld light.

Why a revolver? If you want a modern light, why not attach it to a modern firearm.

Take a low light class. You'll figure out that a WML isnt always best.
