I think the real issue here is going to be to find something that will go onto his forend. If they make a mount that will attach to that, you've got 90% of your issue solved. What is the brand name of your forend Magi? If we start there, maybe we can work it forward to the light..

I actually have 3 or 4 of that "style" of mounts around that JT linked in. They are much more rugged than they look and also stay on well and stand up well to punishment with a little low strength locktite...
It's going to be a simple matter of distance out. Too far out and you have to reach OUT with your thumb which reduces your hold on the rifle. Too close and the head of the light might touch the rail which could affect the aimpoint of the light.
That one'll be up to Magi. It's kind of an eye-ball, best guess kinda shot and just hope for the best. Either way, it should be a darn close fit in the mid to low range heights. He's got a pretty slim light there.

I actually HATE having to use my thumb. In tight areas, when you're adrenaline is going, there is nothing worse than having to loosen your grip on your primary defensive tool to do the on/off thing and just turning it on and leaving it on gives away where you are and what you are doing.
I know some guys swear buy em but if he can find a pressure switch that will go with that light, I would buy one just to do some testing to see what fit his style the best.
Streamlights are TOUGH to find switches for though which is why I was so happy to find a switch that worked with mine...
