A buddy has one on an FN auto loader. I got
To play with it while I made a holster
For it. It was very streamlined and super bright for its size. My G19 has a TLR-3 on it and I'm surprised how easily it carries. The 442 in my pocket right now has a set
Of CT laser grips on it as well. They hold zero and are bright enough to see on overcast days.

...except when I carry a SA sixgun. Just haven't been able to take it quite that far.

Looks like a Galco, or mebbe a Hunter.....

With someone in the dark.

Lights are bullet magnets.

The mind focuses on the light and the gun and you will get shot in the hands alot, at least that is what we have observed when shooting at each other in low light with airsoft.

While I have heard that training "less lethal" is not "realistic" you have to admit that it has "some" value and that one that does train "less lethal" will have "some" advantage over someone who has not.

The JRTC at Ft. Polk has trained hundreds of thousands of grunts to a level where they are efficient and deadly Marines and soldiers and nobody has been killed (with the exception of confusing a SAW mag of 5.56 ball for one of blanks). Most SWAT and HRT teams train with simunition systems to similarly deadly results and no one is killed during this training.

To those that say training "less lethal" is "playing at gunfighting" and leads to taking unrealistic risks that one would not take with the real deal, one must simply observe that they are cheating and not paying attention to the purpose of the training.

Next time someone in class turns into a Simunition Samurai, make them take off all protective gear with the exception of safety glasses. No shirt, no gloves, no mask, no vest, no balaclava, no nothing. Then get back to school and see how comfortable they are at soaking up all those little old paint balls at close range. Nice.

The light should be as far away from your body as your arms with reach.

The laser is very effective at intimidating one you have the drop on. They tell me that real bad guys settle right down when the beam floats around on their chest.

I like lasers on the small pocket guns, since most of them have pretty useless sights to begin with. On bigger guns, I can take them or leave them.

As far as a light, I'm pretty adamant that you should have one if at all possible. Target identification is a priority, especially in the house. If you have others living with you, being able to identify who is about to get shot before you shoot them is huge. I'd much rather take a bullet than shoot one of my family members.

Gun mounted lights are important, since there's really no effective way to run a long gun without one, and I have yet to meet the person who can shoot better with one hand on the handgun than two. I tend to run a handheld and a handgun mounted light, so I'm not pointing the muzzle at everything I shine the light on. If one goes out, I still have the other. If I see something fishy, I can put both hands on the handgun and be more a more effective shooter. I run my Glocks with a Surefire X300 weaponlight all the time, even for carry.
