ABSTRACT:
A switch actuation apparatus for a firearm-mounted flashlight having a switch mechanism. The apparatus is mounted to a firearm having a grip area for being held by a hand. A support base is adapted to be mounted from the grip area. A slide is movably supported by the support base for causing actuation of the switch mechanism for operating the flashlight. The flashlight is supported by one of the support base or slide. The apparatus further includes an actuating member coupled to the slide for movement relative to the support base. The actuating member has an operating surface accessible to at least a finger of a hand holding the grip area of the firearm for moving the slide to operating the flashlight. In this arrangement, the user of the firearm can easily operate the flashlight without moving a hand from its usual position for holding and operating the firearm.
