Weapon mounted lights…yea or nah? For edc

[bulletslinger101]

You can’t shoot what you can’t see and with light training you’re not going to point the gun at something you shouldn’t or blind yourself.

^^^^ This is exactly why it is soooo important for training, Specifically night fire Trainig. Everybody’s eyes are different at night. The shooter should have the same confidence and discipline he or she has during the hours of limited visibility as they do during the day time.

[mention]cmshoot [/mention], now is the time hold a class. It seems as if there are some folks interested in this topic especially during this period of time we are currently facing with the spike in violence in various places.

Remember folks training and understanding your setup at night, the capabilities you possess with that set up and confidence is key.

This!

Concealed carry is hard enough without the added bulk of a weapon light.

Seldom if ever in complete darkness while out and about.

HD, different story...

No on the carry gun, yes on the nightstand gun.

This^ Shooters ability is a very real thing and it's developed with training and practice.

I’ll take all the lumens I can get… EDC with a light and add a pocket light when out after dark.

Better to have and not need than need and not have, isn't that the reason people carry

Curious whatcha guys think. For your edc do ya rock a weapon mounted light or nah? More pros than cons or what?

Cons: Zero.

Pros: Having the ability to PID your target during hours of limited visibility is absolutely crucial!

From a legal perspective, if you engage a perceived threat and you hit an unintended target, that could be legally damaging in a court of law...

Weight increase of a light is negligible.

Must train with your setup both in live fire, and how you carry.

How you currently carry w/o a WML may be different in how you carry with a WML.

Practice practice practice....

Dry fire, dry fire, dry fire, dry fire

OP: Get some low light training and form your own opinion. Mine certainly changed after doing so. Larping is one thing, but actual low light repetitions will reveal much.

I have an O-Light Baldr on my 19x for the house and an o-light with the tape strip on an AR.

Great lights and the charging cable is magnetized

the majority consensus I hear is “don’t do it!” For o lights. I actually have one. A handheld and it gets hella-hot! It actually got bumped on more than once and has burned through my pant packet and also burned through the belt sheath it came with. I had got one years ago before hearing all the negatives on it
