The Daniel Defense 0302016514 Offset Flashlight Mount positions tactical lights at the optimal 45-degree angle for enhanced target acquisition and reduced shadow interference. This precision-machined aluminum mount accommodates 1-inch diameter flashlights while maintaining a low-profile design that won't snag on gear or holsters.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard inline mounts that create shadows directly behind the front sight post, this offset design positions the light beam at an angle that eliminates most shadowing issues. The 45-degree offset also allows for ambidextrous operation and keeps the light beam clear of muzzle devices and accessories. Daniel Defense machines each mount from 6061-T6 aluminum with precise tolerances that eliminate play between the mount and rail system.
