My Glock 17 is mated to a Surefire X200 weapon light with Hiviz fiber optic sights. Same for Scattergun Tech TRS 870, which is also mated to a Surefire weapon light.
Both guns has point of impact mated to center of Surefire weapon lights LED hotspot. meaning both weapons uses flashlight's hotspot as an aiming device. Exactly like a laser, only with flashlight being used for a dual purpose of illuminating what you are shooting and aiming gun.
aiming flashlight is possible due to the fact that reflector is never centered exactly. this allows aiming by rotating reflector until center of flashlight's hotspot matches gun's sights point of impact. note this is only possible on flashlights that allows access to reflector. X200's reflector was not accessible but aim luckily was near center. Surefire's weapon lights mount solid and results in repeatable aim points.
here's an article posted earlier on how to upgrade a surefire light with a P-60 LED drop-in. http://www.okshooters.com/showthread.php?110483-Surefire-Shotgun-Forend-WeaponLights-LED-Upgrade
Who else uses an LED flashlight as an aiming device?
