Why don't you just get a Laser/light combo? I'm sure they make them but I can't remember who! H..L getting old.

Well, the reason is that I haven't found a combo that puts the laser next to the barrel (rail). My reasons are the same as wanting a scope as close as possible to the bore of the barrel. If I'm 5 feet from a possum with a laser hanging 2+" below the barrel then the next time it's a coon 30' up a tree the closer to the barrel the better my chances of hitting since I don't have as much standoff to consider on that ballistic parabola thing.
Ideally, I'd like a combo so if there is one out there with the laser on the rail I'd appreciate hearing about it. My other consideration was weight and profile...this will reside primarily on my Sig Mosquito (can on order) so a compact or subcompact will probably fit it better.
Thanks for the question. Maybe this additional info will help someone guide me to the "Best Solution" (sounds like a segment on one of MB's shows.....hmmmm?
).
