Weird Surefire, its Broken. Again.

I will preface this by saying I may be harder on most gun parts than your average This is my nightstand gun folk. However, something is definitely sub par here and I believe it is most attributable to the undersized U latch. On the gun (G17 Gen 4) with the universal mount (cough cough, even though a standard has been set with M1913, cough coughlooking at you Glock) it rattles around like its driving a Dodge. Under the brisk recoil of 9 MM 115 gr practice ammo, the light slaps fore and aft. This unimaginable amount of force has since snapped my lights switch mechanism to the point where the light activates in the holster and I can see into the battery compartment when its closed. Further, switching away from the spring mechanism, the rail lock system binds inside a Safariland holster as to make it unusable. Fortunately, this isnt an issue with the P insert, even with my 1911 launching miniature ICBMs, because it actually fits the 1913 slot. This just happens with the Gaston Gat. Not really what Id expect from a $300 light. Glock users beware, buy the B model. Surefire, your customer servicesub-optimal. Glock, its about time to join the early 2000sPica-tinny. Thanks Brownells, you keep doing you. But seriously, if youre reading, bring us A2 pattern AR receivers.
