What weapons light system would yall recommend for this as well, I want something simple.  Low(ish) profile with a pressure switch ability.

There are two I like the first works well for a pressure switch

The one I use is this

I personally don't use a pressure switch on a shotgun. I have found that the recoil tends to shake the pressure switch loose. Also anything thing that moves or is mounted on action to me is just asking for something to break or come loose or fall etc. 

I use the small forward mount with a TLR-1 and like it. with that mount you can use it below the barrel or either side you choose.  Its small and inexpensive and works for what I want anyway. 

I know there are more, these are two I have messed with. I know mesa tactical makes one and they make really nice stuff. I have used the surefire fore end on dept. shotguns. One thing I saw with those was they were starting to cause some problems with the action bars because of the extra weight of the light and fore end. To be clear though they were not causing malfunctions or mis-feeds. Just problems when breaking down the shotguns for cleaning or inspections.

Why the pressure switch Graham? I run a Sure Fire light with a button on mine. Don't recall the make of the mount, but its rock solid.

Always had pressure on my AR's but now that I think of it I don't need it on this as it would be hot or not, no need for that ability.

Roger that.

I can't remember the make of my mount, but its a good one to use with a Sure Fire flashlight.
