Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of BCM Keymod white light mounts available?

BCM offers three main Keymod white light mounts: a 1-inch ring mount for standard tube flashlights, a Picatinny rail mount compatible with lights like the SureFire X300, and a dedicated mount for SureFire Scout Lights. All are made from durable anodized aluminum.

What is a good benchmark for indoor white light output for home defense?

Larry Vickers suggests the SureFire 6P as an excellent benchmark for appropriate indoor white light output. He advises comparing other lights to the 6P's output to ensure they are effective without being excessively bright for home defense scenarios.

Where should a white light be mounted on a Keymod rail for home defense?

Mount the light for easy access from either shoulder. Position it strategically to avoid being masked by cover when leaning out, and ensure it's not too far forward to prevent muzzle blast from damaging the lens or reducing light output.
