Weapon mounted lights are all about preference, there are arguments for both sides. Personally I like a weapon mounted light so I can keep 1 hand free, and you don't have to point the light down the hall or at someone. you would be amazed how bright those suckers are just bouncing the light off the floor. If you have to manupulate a door knob or use the phone or beat the stupid SOB off you cause you didnt spot him fast enough I like the extra hand.

It depends on the situation. My apartment pretty much square. The ambient light from the city keeps it from ever getting truly pitch black. So if someone broke in, I think it’s safe to say they would see me and I would see them no matter what, so a tac light wouldn’t likely give away my position. It would give me a fraction of a second of illumination to decide if deadly force was warranted or not.

A light attached to a defensive  firearm is a bullseye that lines up nicely with your face.
 you are assuming you will have your light/ firearm pointed in the right direction when everyting goes sideways.
If the bad guy is not where you are pointing your light, the bad guy will most likely shut your light off for you.
A lazer tends to focus your attention on the lazer light instead of concentrating on the threat.

Wow, maybe you should go tell the majority of the Pier 1 Operators that their methods are all wrong and that you have figured out, that what they have perfected throughout the years is all wrong and they should take all the tactical lights off their carbines and handguns.  LMAO!!

Hence the purpose of the "Momentary" function on weapons mounted lights. WOW!

The term "Defensive" has no relevance in my world. I have boundaries set. My handgun is not a defensive weapon at all! When those pre set lines are crossed concerning life and limb of I or loved ones and that handgun comes out. It's GO time! I and that handgun are completly offensive, I'm taking it to them. If your thinking defensive , your math is backwards.


Pier 1 operators?? The ones protecting the local mall?

i also keep my surefire separate

The term defensive weapon is an oxymoron, unless you are laying down massive volumes of lead in suppression fire to exfill out of a situation that has already gone south, LOL

The best defence is a good offence, advance under fire,
LOL

Gotta love watching guys play with a "Typo". Reminds me of watching a couple monkeys  try to screw a football.

Replace the "P" with a "T" and drive on. :tup:

You should be thanking me for the 3rd grade math lesson on the little 'typo' involving that pesky decimal point.
If you ever get into reloading, those pesky typos mean fingers and eyeballs.
Yer welcome.
