It has long been the case that the heat and blast from the muzzle will put deposits on the bezel of the MP5 WeaponLight (and some handgun WeaponLights too). Prolonged exposure to heavy use may result in some permanent pitting or related wear and tear with the anodisation and possibly even some wearing away of the aluminium too. The Lexan window can also become worn. The advantage of the classic Z32 is that the Lexan window can be replaced by the user should it become damaged.

The benefit of having the light parallel to, and so close to the longitudinal axis of the barrel is that in CQB the rounds hit where the light beam shines. This is important for those wearing 'gas masks' and working in tight, dust/smoke/blast etc filled rooms. There's also reduced chance of the bezel catching on things such as slings, clothing and whatnot.
Another benefit in these operations is that with multiple operators it is possible to get an idea of which targets are being covered [and which parts of the room or which people aren't]

My old Classic 3V weaponlight bezel surface for a Glock 19 suffered from a lot of blast damage. The knurling was basically worn off. However, the Lexan window was never damaged, just frequently coated with a layer of particles that cut the light transmission. It was easily wiped off.

I don't really see why 1" or 2" would matter in terms of hitting the target. The beam pattern is sufficiently wide that it's hard to believe that such a small offset matters. Anyway, you aim using your sights. If you were using a laser aiming device, then as close to coaxial mounting would matter a lot more. If you have a mask, you ought to have a red dot sight, which is vastly easier to use than irons. IMO, a dot sight is far more valuable than a small offset of the light. Also, in room entries, each operator has an assigned sector to clear. He's not focusing on someone else's beam of light. If he is, he's not paying attention to his sector, risking his and his teammates lives. The deal is that each operator has to trust that his teammates are doing their job.

If the offset were so critical, then I'm surprised that SureFire designed the M500, M900, shotgun foreends, and universal weaponlights the way they have -- with a larger offset than for the MP5. Here is an M900A on a suppressed Colt SMG.

Here's the old universal weaponlight for an AR-15/M16.

Another downside of such a small offset is that you can't fit a suppressor.

I've used the offset adapter for my MP5 and it works fine in CQB (I removed the suppressor and put it on the Colt for this series of photos). IMO, it is also important to have a constant-on capability for two-handed weapons. If I have to carry something or someone with my offside arm, I can't operate the fore-end light very easily.

The 3P is a long discontinued model. It was replaced by the E1, which was replaced by the E1e.

Keep an eye on the Marketplace - they pop up for sale quite a lot.

SureFire cases (for Beasts and HellFighters etc) are Hardigg Storm Cases rather than Pelican.

Well technically now they are the same company
