As use of weapon mounted lights has become commonplace in the firearms industry, it has presented some problems that require fixing. Among those issues is the need to be able to turn your light off and on without being forced to adjust your grip. One product to address that is made by Emissary Development specifically for users of SureFire X300 style weapon mounted lights.
The Emissary Development Paddle Shifter Kit is designed as a drop-in aftermarket accessory that replaces the factory switch on SureFire X300 style weapon mounted lights. It is larger than the standard switch on the X300, making it easier for users to run their lights without moving their hands. Being forced to change your grip can compromise safety in a defensive scenario and slows shooters down in all situations, not to mention that shift takes you off target. This paddle speeds up target acquisition and follow-up shots while allowing for greater accuracy due to the ability to maintain your grip undisturbed.
According to the manufacturer, in addition to making it possible for shooters to maintain complete control and a firm grip on their pistol while turning their lights off and on, the Paddle Shifter makes operating the light more intuitive and natural.
