I bought this remote switch to use with a Streamlight Super Tac C4 LED Flashlight and a AR-15 fore-end quad rail. Switch is not super sensitive, but the activation is positive; preventing accidental activation - well designed. Also, it comes with zipties and rubber mounts that fit perfectly on standard picatinny rails. The switch installs onto the rail using the rubber mounts alone; no extra fasteners needed (not even the included zipties). I am completely satisfied with the product.

The 8" remote switch for the Streamlight Super TAC flashlight is a very handy gadget if you are doing any hunting at night. I installed it on my Super TAC to use on my .270, which is my primary night-time hog hunting rifle. The pressure switch takes more pressure to turn on the light than I expected, and the light is activated only while you are applying pressure to the switch. There is no way to turn the light on and leave it on if you have the remote switch installed. I really like the remote switch, and most of my friends, who use tactical-style flashlights, also have remotes affixed to the forestocks of their guns. It does make it very easy to mount your gun and get a quick read on what's going on out there in the dark. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with a tactical flashlight mounted on a weapon.
