Gun and gear reviews Tm 22 pro 18” barrel vs 16”

Wondering which one to go with I like the look of the longer hand guard just wondering on the weight they are both listed same at 6lb also might wanna set up a light on the hand guard thinking the 16” version wouldn’t be enough room to mount light and pressure pad

Honestly, both options would be fairly decent.

The only negative I can see with putting a light on the shorter hand guard would be casting a shadow off the barrel with how far back the light would sit.

Realistically if you went with a 12 o’clock mount it’d through the shadow down instead of to the sides. Still annoying, but totally manageable. If you could find one, a 45° light mount would probably be best.
