you looking only for a picatinny mount?
if you want to mount a flashlight and it is 1-1.5 iin, like a small surefire, i cannot recommend the elzetta mount enough
i had one of the regular clamp ones and my light came off
the elzetta is much more robust and clamps on both the barrel and magazine tube
ogc gets them in occasionally, or you can order online
Need suggestions for a good Remington 870 picatinny light mount.
Want a light weight, unobtrusive mount that won't slide around.
Don't really want to drop a bunch of cash on a Surefire integrated forend.
Barrel clamp?
Mag tube clamp?
Just go with an integrated forend?
Looked at the Streamlight Pro mount, Streamlight TLR mag tube rail mount, CDM, Laselyte tri rail, and KZ mounts, but would greatly appreciate advice.
Thanks!!

+1 on the elzetta mount. As macsak stated other mounts are flimsy, but the elzetta mount is solid.
One is beling sold on eBay for less than $5.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elzetta-ZSM-Tactical-Shotgun-Flashlight-Mount-/130908270552?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e7abdafd8 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elzetta-ZSM-Tactical-Shotgun-Flashlight-Mount-/130908270552?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e7abdafd8)

elzetta is great for the price but if you want the toughest one out there, http://www.cdmgear.com/product.html (http://www.cdmgear.com/product.html)
the mod-c is rock solid. its better than a factory barrel clamp.
i can also recommend the lightweight gg&g mount which held strong for many buck and slug sessions. i trust it more than my other lightweight ones.
the polymer vtac is pretty good, plus it comes with a sleeve for .80" lights like the e2d, but only gets one thumb up for not feeling totally rock solid.

yup, that's the one
OP said he wanted a picatinny rail, so i don't know if he was going to do a handgun type laser/light

mod-c looks good too
the options to add a pic rail or sling are cool

hopefully the pic rail ones are better
in my experience, the weak link is the part that holds the flashlight, not the part that clamps the barrel and mag tube
Thanks for the suggestions, and, yes, I will be using Streamlight TLR-1 HL I received last week.
