Considering a weight/light, which one?

I am considering putting a flashlight/weight on my gun. Since i am just doing it for a weight i would like to buy a knockoff, but i need one with the same foot print as a name brand, so i can get a kydex holster to fit. Anyone know of a light that would fit the bill? Thanks

Streamlight TLR-1 with Tungsten Weights weighs 9.85oz.

 

You can also use any light that takes a CR123 battery, as two of these weights equals the size of one CR123 battery.

 

Weights can be purchased from forum member Solscud007

Do you have to destroy the light, since it is $100 i hate to trash it? I would like to be ableto use it later as a light if I would like.

There was a light I was considering using, it's about $33 on Amazon and one of the reviewers said it was shaped identical to his TLR1. I would feel bad about buying and destroying a TLR1 to make a weight, this cheap thing I wouldn't even care...

Thanks, something like this is what i have been looking for. I wouldn't mind the tlr if i could still use it but one of these cheapies seems like the  way to go.

Nope, the weights simply replace the batteries that are in there. If you want to switch it back to a normal light, just put the batteries back in.
