MP5 light solution - Updated with questions answered
I’m not 100% happy with it but it’ll work. And I don’t have a ton of stuff bolted to the front sight.
Titan tactical scout light mount and gibbous outfitters wide MP5 handguard.

I like how clean it keeps the pressure switch and cable. You get the benefit of the light and pad without having to replace the smooth wide handguard with rails.

I dig it.
How bad is the suppressor shadow?

The button setup is very clean.

I'm curious, too. I have a Bobro Engineering MLOK mount I got for my SP5K, but I haven't pulled the trigger on the Modlite package to go with it. I should do that...

Not sure yet, I’ll post a pic once the Surefire head arrives. I had an extra Malkoff head but somewhere along the way got slightly different threads on some of my lights. Probably DF or something.

Not a bad option. I have a few of the older Surefire dedicated handguards, but with a suppressor mounted they won't always fit.

How well does it keep the wire away from the barrel?

Not great, I probably should have thought out the massive OD suppressor but I still dig it. And I guess I could argue it’s better than no light.

It’s got multiple little clip areas to use depending on length of cable.

Calm down baby bird and I’ll feed you
Or…
Were you talking about the Surefire handguard? It won’t clear a suppressor at all, the Gibbious version with bottom-mounted light will clear a 1.5” OD suppressor but this behemoth is 2.1”.
