1. The most basic requirement: The gun has to have a standard accessory rail
2. Product recommendations
1) If the barrel length is shorter than 4".
- Light: PL-MINI2
- Laser: TM-G, TM-R
- Light/laser combo: Baldr MINI (GLLX-S can fit too but it will be discontinued soon)
2) if the barrel length is equal or longer than 4"
- Light: PL-PRO, PL-2
- Laser: LG-9, LG-9T
- Light/laser combo: Baldr Pro, Baldr RL, FLG-9T
Note: all models from list (1) can fit (2) as well but
- They generally are not as bright as the ones from list (2)
- Except for the one with sliding mount (PL-MINI2, Baldr MINI) the rest might not hug the triggerguard if the gun has only one groove on the rail.
3. Special Notes: When google gun models, make sure to use the full model name and pay attention to the details.
For instance,
- A Sig Sauer can have a rail version and no-rail version for the same model. Tthe difference is whether the model name ends with an "R".
- A M&P compact can be either M2.2 (3.56 inch barrel) or M2.0 (4" barrel).
- A M&P Shield does not have a rail but a M&P Shield EZ has a rail.
Since a gun can have many variations, after we respond to the buyer whether the light/laser will fit or not, it is always recommended adding one line at the end: Please double-check to ensure there is a standard accessory rail underneath the barrel.
4. Rail Adapter: An adapter to convert a non-standard proprietary rail to a standard accessory rail.
There are two that we know. Both can be found at around $10.00
- A USP adapter for H&K USP model
- A Sigma adapter for S&W SW40VE, SW9VE
