From a CQB perspective, this is the instructed position - either top or bottom. The reason for this is that your light shines parallel to the barrel, while not reflecting off of things like door frames or corners that the barrel would naturally be close to during room clearing. Thumb button wasn't an issue as we used pressure switches.
With that said, mine is mounted on an offset mount in the 1:00 position off the side rail so I can activate the thumb button....
And if you're clearing rooms with a 15-22, you have a STRANGE hobby. (And possibly a short-lived hobby.)
That would be dangerous. I have the light on there because I live on a small farm with a few animals. Part of the purpose of the rifle is to deal with any animals that might start trouble with ours. The light comes off as soon as I begin target practice, and goes back on when finished. I also turned the blue ten round mag into a 25 round mag, but because it is a little tougher to load I keep it loaded with either stingers or velocitors. So if I hear a commotion in the barn late at night it is ready to go.
Eventually the rifle will be supplemented by a true AR-15, but for now it is a good practice weapon.
