In the ever-evolving world of tactical illumination, adaptability is key. Enter the Arisaka Tailcap Adapter—a solution for those who wish to enhance their Streamlight Protac Rail Mount HL-X lights with Surefire Scout tailcaps and remote switches. This adapter doesn't just broaden compatibility; it addresses a critical flaw inherent in the Protac design.
The absence of a front battery spring in Protac Rail Mount lights has been known to cause flickering under recoil, as batteries lose contact momentarily. The Arisaka Tailcap Adapter ingeniously mitigates this issue by including two o-rings tailored for CR123 and 18650 cells respectively. These rings secure your power source firmly, ensuring uninterrupted performance during high-stakes operations.
While its utility is apparent, it's crucial to note that this adapter requires a Surefire UE or DS tailcap—sold separately—to function properly. Furthermore, it does not support use with the Rail Mount HL-X Laser model or any of the Protac 2.0 Rail Mount Lights.
By enabling compatibility with advanced switching options like the Surefire SR-D-IT and TNVC/Unity TAPS dual switches, this adapter opens new avenues for integrating laser/illuminators such as those from ATPIAL and DBAL series into your tactical setup.
For those striving to optimize their equipment without compromise, the Arisaka Tailcap Adapter stands ready as an essential upgrade.
