Monstrum Tactical 1" Offset Picatinny Rail Mount for Flashlights

this is the second item i have bought by this brand name and it is as impressive as the last item. fits well, goes on and off easily, and is built well. works for me.

There are several similar mounts of this style on the market. They look almost identical, so you'd think they are all the same, but they are not. Most of the mounts have a design with a poorly designed clamping mechanism, the part that holds it to the rail. This one has a more substantive clamp that has much better engagement.I had an NcStar mount on two of my rifles before; they look and are sized almost identical to this Monstrum mount. One of the NcStar mounts worked great and I have no complaints about it. The other mount, same NcStar model, wasn't to spec and the rail clamp engagement was really poor and to the point where I could literally pull the mount off the rail very easily with my hand, no matter how tight the clamp screw was.This Monstrum mount has a much better clamp design for the rail that has far better engagement (you can see and compare via the product images). This design could tolerate being fairly far out of spec before failing, relatively speaking; it can't give way unless the product were purely defective.I'm happy with the Monstrum mount I received, so I'm going to order another. I likely just had a bum NcStar unit and I could have just exchanged it and been fine, but the design of this mount is the right design, so it's what I want in service.Note that the NcStar mount may be a few grams lighter. The NcStar has a slightly better designed finger screw in my opinion (it's round and knurled, vs the Monstrum's smooth hex knob), but small difference. I didn't measure it, but the bodies are effectively identical, and the Monstrum has a little more material in both the flashlight clamp, and the rail clamp. Small difference, but if you care about those few grams, it's something to pay attention to.

Having about 10 "tactical" flashlights already, I didn't feel the need to buy another one that included mounting hardware and possibly a cord and activation button for a lot of money. The external button with a wire is just something to get in the way in my opinion and the buttons usually fail at some point. This perfectly mounted one of my flashlights just fine and seems sturdy enough plus it is easily installed, removed or moved to another piece of equipment. For the money, this fits the bill just right

I recently purchased the Monstrum Tactical 1" Offset Picatinny Rail Mount for Flashlights. I had no problems with the installation, and it works as intended. The mount is made of anodized aluminum and steel, which makes it lightweight but sturdy. It comes with all the necessary mounting hardware, and it was easy to install on my rifle.

This was a perfect solution to adding a light to an AR15. Made well, and fairly priced.. Highly recommend.........

Just what I was looking for. Very easy to mount and unmount and securely holds a 1" flashlight. Quality materials construction.

Fit my Maglite perfectly, took me about 2 minutes to put together, sits on my rail nice and strong

If this works for you, it's great value for 9 bucks. However, i have not tested the threads. I bought this to mount a red night light on my cross bow. I though i may have room to fit it on the rail. Not the case. You'll need an inch or so of rail in front of the scope, or a rail mounted under the xbow to mount it.
