For the law enforcement officer or armed citizen, reduced light presents a number of challenges.
Even simple tasks such as navigation are compromised.
Locating potential danger is yet another issue.
Anyone serious about personal defense needs to know the basics of working a flashlight in concert with the handgun.
One possible solution is to affix the light directly to the pistol.
The most obvious is that the beam of the light automatically lines up with the pistol.
One will also be to move and utilize cover far more effectively.
There are, however, a number of caveats associated with using a weapon-mounted light.
Generally speaking, momentary activation is better than constant on.
Remember light works both ways and you dont want to become a bullet magnet.
In a highly charged, stressful situation, trigger finger activation is a recipe for disaster.
When affixing or removing a WML from your pistol, be sure it is unloaded.
Today there is a wide range of light bearing holsters dedicated to a particular light and pistol.
Be sure to get one dedicated for your pistol/light combo as almost fits simply wont do.
Having the right equipment in time of need can give you the needed edge to prevail.
Light helps us make an informed decision.
