SCT 43 SC Light Mounting Issue

[meanmotorscooter]

I tried mounting my Olight Baldr Mini to my SCT 43 SC and no matter what insert I use, 1913 or Glock, The light is too loose on the rail and just falls off. Has anyone else had any issues mounting a light on the SCT 43 SC or is it just me? The Olight Baldr Mini mounted up nice and tight on my Canik MC9.

I'd measure the width of the rails. On a standard Glock or other with a Picatinny rail. Then your SCT.

I'm an engineer and we are silly that way. Always measuring things. Could it be that standard Glock and Pic rails are wider than a G43 or G43 clone rail? Just a wild guess.

I figured it out. The 43X frame is thinner than a regular Glock frame and so the 43x and 48 need proprietary weapon lights like the Streamlight TLR-7 SUB

I have a streamlight TLR-7X Sub on my SCT 43x frame originally ordered with the 1913 rail clamp hadda spend $30 and ordered the glock clamp set which worked perfectly and I've ran a ton of Hornady extreme duty 135 grn +p through it no issues at all with the light staying mounted etc...

ETA; yes the 43x is a SINGLE stack thats the point of its existance, it does not need a proprietary light it just needs one designed for single stack 9mms same lights work on Hellcats, Sig 365s taurus 709s etc...
