I might put the power supply in a LAM unit to keep it from being too front heavy while also maintaining a lower profile suppressor.
Have you considered just having the LEDs on all the time, or lit manually?
With the power supply in the LAM just use the LAM's switch (momentary on or toggle on/off, tac-light style) to turn the UV LEDs in your suppressor on or off.

That way you can choose when your tracer is on or off. It's not power efficient like having a BB sensor would be but if that doesn't bother you you might want to try that.
