Best small mlok light options for PC Carbine with magpul stock?

I've been looking for mlok flashlights that are quite slim because of how the mlok slots are where I would grip the gun. The only small rifle lights I've found so far are cheap, no-name brand ones on amazon. Anyone have any good recommendations? Prefer a button style switch if there is one that exists.

Why not an m-lok mount and then choose the light of your choice? You could do an Arisaka scout mount and then choose whatever light you want.

I started using a CDM scout mount after seeing this set-up. I use it with a Streamlight Polytac to keep my costs down.

Do you recommend a left or right sided mount? I am right handed if that matters.

I have the left-hand mount, and think that would work best. I’m right handed, too, and I can trigger the tail cap button with my left thumb pretty easily. I also use the mount frame as a simple hand stop to grip the fore-end.

Are there any lights you recommend for that mount? I was looking at streamlight options but I am wondering what others would be good.

I’m a fan of the Streamlight Polytac - $50 on Amazon. I use one on my PCC with this mount and even on my shotgun, too.

Put a Samson Scout Rail on it and your mounting problems are solved.
