Home defense shotgun light

[DeadShotJoker]

Hey all, im picking up a Winchester 1300, non defender model, from a friend before he moves for cheap and am looking at the Surefire DSF-1300 handguard light for home defense.

Anyone have experience with this or a similar model?

Not me but have a surefire 6p for over twenty years. The quality is there.

If I were willing to blow 350+ on a pump shotgun, I would have one on mine.

I have a $9 mini mag mount:

and a $15 pressure switch

to hold my $15 mini mag light

on my 25 year old Mossburg 500 that I bought a service merchandise for $179. Works fine

I'm not paying $350 for a fore end for a $300 shotgun.

You don't need much light on a HD gun. Not to say go as cheap as you can, but anything over 200 Lumens is a waste of money IMO

I installed one of them on one of my HD 870's. I like it so far. $200 on amazon with prime shipping just a FYI. It was worth it to me knowing out of the box it could handle shotgun recoil and made it a self contained unit.

There was a battery issue with the original DSF versions that surefire fixed.

Pulled this off Arf

If you have a Surefire DSF with a serial number on the light head, then you have a newer version. In the newer, serial numbered versions, the battery issue has been "fixed"

I have a way to get a light at cost so im not paying near 350 for a light.
Ive got a TLR-HL and an XC1 for my Glocks and a Surefire 952v for my future AR build

Go for it then. If you don't like it you can sell it for a profit. I like mine so far. I've only run a few dozen down the pipe on that rig but so far it's held up well.

A fenix PD35 tac that has the capacity to go up to 1000 lumens , and strobe , with a button tail cap , and you can get a seperate pressure switch and a mount is far cheaper than 355$
