It is listed for compatible Shotguns & Rifles w/M1913 Rail applications. The listed configuration includes Compatible with Shotguns & Rifles w/M1913 Rail, 500 Lumens, and White Finish. At Tar River Arms, we expand the available manufacturer and distributor specifications with practical buying guidance so customers can compare features, confirm compatibility, and choose equipment that fits the intended use.
Because accessory catalogs often compress important fit and configuration details into short distributor fields, the manufacturer part number and the specifications below should be reviewed before purchase.
Compatibility
This product is listed for compatible Shotguns & Rifles w/M1913 Rail applications. Similar model names, firearm generations, frame sizes, attached optics or lights, belt widths, rails, and other configuration differences can affect fit. Confirm the exact manufacturer part number before ordering.
Key Features and Specifications
- Product Type: Weapon-Mounted Light
- Compatibility: Shotguns & Rifles w/M1913 Rail
- Light Output: 500 Lumens
- Color or Finish: White
Why These Features Matter
Weapon-Mounted Light
Knowing exactly what the product is makes it easier to compare the correct features, confirm fit, and avoid buying an accessory that does not solve the intended problem.
Compatibility: Shotguns & Rifles w/M1913 Rail
Compatibility can depend on firearm model, generation, dimensions, attached accessories, belt or rail interface, caliber, gauge, or equipment layout.
Light Output: 500 Lumens
Light output is useful for comparison, but beam intensity, pattern, runtime, controls, and power source also determine practical performance.
White Finish
Color or finish can affect visibility, concealment, corrosion protection, surface wear, and how the product matches the rest of the equipment.
How to Choose a Weapon-Mounted Light
Evaluate beam pattern, candela, lumen output, runtime, controls, power source, size, and durability. Lumens alone do not describe how far or how usefully a light projects.
Confirm the firearm rail or mounting interface, available clearance, switch access, holster compatibility, and recoil rating.
Rechargeable systems reduce disposable battery use, while replaceable batteries can be easier to replenish away from a charger. Understand both the primary and backup power plan.
Choose controls that can be operated reliably under stress, with gloves, and without changing the safe handling of any firearm.
Light Setup, Testing, and Maintenance
Install mounts and batteries exactly as directed. Verify fastener torque, rail engagement, switch function, and battery orientation.
After installation, confirm that the light does not interfere with firearm controls, muzzle clearance, cycling, sights, or holster fit.
Clean lenses carefully because carbon, dust, oil, and fingerprints reduce useful output. Inspect seals, contacts, batteries, cables, and switches regularly.
A light supports identification; it does not replace safe firearm handling, target identification, or judgment.
Best For
- Low-light identification and navigation appropriate to the design
- Buyers comparing beam, controls, power, mounting, and size
- Users who will test the complete light and equipment setup before relying on it
TRA Take
Do not buy a light by lumen count alone. Beam intensity, spill, runtime, switch access, mounting security, and compatibility determine real-world performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the listed light output?
The distributor lists an output of 500 Lumens.
Is the light rechargeable?
Rechargeable power is not listed in the catalog record. Confirm the required battery type with the manufacturer.
What mounting interface does it use?
The mounting interface is not clearly stated in the feed.
Will a weapon light fit my holster?
Only if the holster is designed for the exact firearm and light combination. A standard holster usually will not accept an added weapon light.
Are lumens the same as beam distance?
No. Lumens describe total light output, while beam intensity and optical design strongly influence distance and target definition.
Should batteries be removed during storage?
Follow the manufacturer guidance. Long-term storage practices depend on battery chemistry, parasitic drain, and environmental conditions.
How often should mounting screws be checked?
Inspect the mount routinely and after recoil, impact, or hard use. Follow the manufacturer torque and thread-locking instructions.
Can a light identify a threat by itself?
No. A light improves visibility, but safe identification and judgment remain the user’s responsibility.
Does this accessory require shipment to an FFL?
Standard non-serialized accessories generally do not require an FFL transfer and can ship directly where legal. Serialized frames or receivers and certain regulated products are exceptions. Destination, age, carrier, chemical, knife, personal-safety, and product-specific restrictions may apply.
What is the manufacturer part number?
The manufacturer part number listed for this product is 01-8560-1.
Shipping and Product Restrictions
Standard non-serialized accessories generally ship directly where legal. Some knives, chemicals, aerosols, batteries, personal-safety products, capacity-related items, and other specialized products may be restricted by destination, age, carrier, or local law. Orders are reviewed for applicable shipping restrictions. The purchaser remains responsible for lawful possession and use.
