Finally, a use for tinfoil we can agree with. Kyle Defoor recommends you use it to shim older, loose fitting, X-series lights from SureFire.

Also I’ve heard that you can make pretty good hats out of it.

Save your foil, buy a Larue mount.

  That sure doesn’t add any height to my X300…

    Save your 0.01 cents of tin foil that works perfectly fine … buy a $107 mount. Ummm … wut?

Yeah, I thought Kyle preferred the more TLR-1 stuff (I tested the U300 and the TLR1HL and like the latter’s switch, tint and beam more–though I was just testing the regular back, not the tape switch units).

  The X series Surefire switch is so horrible. I can’t believe that they haven’t improved upon it yet.

Other then tinfoil, I use a small piece of Velcro sticker put underneath my X300 also works~!

I read about this tip from Kyle a few years ago, and have used it with good success several times, especially on a 1911 that had a tad too much wiggle for my tastes. Works great and not even noticeable.
