I wouldn't be surprised if a glove with a mesh palm might have been a fashion accessory for this rig.

It's not??? :confused:

How does it attach then???

I haven't looked for the discussion from two years ago, but I'm pretty sure I joined in on it...

Anyone else remember that discussion???

That is one interesting history item ...

Now i know why i joined the forum ...

Thanks for this new drop in the ocean of knowledge ...

My question is if this uses a skin surface bridge style activation, wouldn't the light them be constantly on, as long as one held the pistol?

This is not very tactically sound, unless there is a separate switch as well, which would seem redundant?

In practical use, if you are going to sweep a darkened room or area, you pretty much have to keep the light on.

It is possible that this impressive rig is an over-engineered "gadget" made up for an elite service, and has more "pomp and ceremony" than actual necessity.

Rich, I remember that discussion, having read it last year after my naissance into Lugerforumdom, when I was reading everything here. I'm surprised I didn't recognize it from then, it is so distinctive. I don't recall specifically any discussion about how it is actually mounted to the gun.

I remember trying to wrap my head around how it works, but didn't understand it :\

Today we would have used trasistors, but they where not invented at the time. Skin alone would not be a good enough conductor to power a light.. So perhaps something simple as metal wires in a glove?

In any case, the designer must have been one clever guy :)

I just watched this video. I am always surprised that auctioneers handling those high value items without gloves....
