Simple poll.


Does your carry gun have a light?

Yep. My carry setup looks almost identical to yours except mine is a G17. Same light and everything.

sorry 5906 does not have a rail, besides, i lucked into the holster i have, cant imagine trying to find one to house the light as well.

This is your EDC? Or you happen to own a TLR-1?

Sausage?

 

[canav844]

Primary, Yes, Bug, No

Still need to get a hybrid tuckable IWB that'll hold the light (TLR-1s) as an extra cover garment in warm weather is not my idea of fun.

 

[handgun]

Yeap sure does! But its a burst of light when i pull the trigger.. some people call it muzzle flash.

 

[hacksawfg]

No rail on my Sig.

If you're going to Pork your mouth - go for plump and juicy instead of thin and shriveled.

When the police start carrying lights on their guns, so will everyone else, I'm sure. But until then it's like evolution is frozen.

Personally, I think all pistols made for defense should include a built-in light (and tritium sights). Lights need to be smaller, because any light is better than no light. Now that we have LED's the light could fit in the tip of the tension bar, like some lasers do already. We don't need 200 lumens, 50 would be better than none. So, asmall light of 50-80 lumens should easily be powered by a single AAA, or watch battery, and it should be so small that holsters don't need to be customized.

That's what I see as the future, and I'm surprised at the lack of innovation. We can't even get a holster for most lights at all still, which is rediculous.

My EDC is a Glock 17 with TLR-1 on the rail. It is in a Safariland duty holster attached to the frame of my wheelchair. Also have a kydex belt holster for the light. Sometimes I don't carry a weapon mounted light when I carry a different handgun (.38 snubby, 1911 without rail). 38 is also always on me as BUG. There is also a S&W SWAT handheld light and a Mini mag light on me or in my wheelchair bag. I can carry a small arsenal in/on my chair.

While one of my Sigs around here does have a light on it I don't carry one set up like that. I think lights are good aiming points for the bad guys.

LOL, reminds me of a movie quote.... "oink, oink, come on, squeal like a pig"


I do like Bacon, buy my weakness is sausage, well that and Corned beef hash!

Nerp. Rails are blasphemy on a 1911.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Not yet....

REALLY interested in the viability and reliability of the Crimson Trace Lightguard light.

Carry a light with you, but not JUST on your gun.

More versatility. You can use your light for finding things if you need to and not have to draw your gun to do it and/or you can use it as a form of NON-lethal defense. Keeping it on your gun means you would have to draw the gun to use it. Not always the best choice.

Why not both a light in your pocket AND one on your gun?

That would work too if one prefers it. Just intended to point out some things to think about.

I would say the majority of cops carry lights on their guns now. I also would say that lightbearing holsters are getting pretty available.....

I carry a light on my EDC.

 

[lovemachine]

I carry a handheld. A Surefire LX2.

No weaponlight.

If you do carry a weapon mounted light, you really should carry a handheld as well.
