Who carries a weapon light on their edc?

[chauncey]

Along with a flashlight, I carry a G29 or G30 with a TLR-1HL in a KT Mech holster

[Bang]

Dunno if handgun-mounted flashlights are adjustable for making a bright center spot an aiming device? Or would that call for a combo flashlight/laser beam?

.I have a TLR-3 on my Beretta Px4 and a TLR-3 on my M&P .40 ...finding decent holsters was the hardest part . I have Bravo Concealment ( before they cut back on the custom work ) for my Beretta and an Aries tactical for the M&P . I carry the Beretta whenever I can and is in arms reach of the front door and the Smith guards my rear entrance to my house in my back bar.

I'm surprised by the opinions expressed here.

I'm not.

If a defensive encounter happens on the street in a low light area, I would wager you already have your edc flashlight in hand, & it probably has better output & interface than anything you can attach to your carry gun.

Home defense is a completely different animal & not what this thread is about.

Im trying to find a light for my G40mos. anyone have any experience with "inforce" lights? I like the low profile, but im also looking at the tlr6 and 7

TLR1HL output is 800 lumens
My rechargeable Bushnell handheld output is 750 lumens

It's not just about the amount of lumens the weaponlight puts out. Yes, having a high output is better, but the biggest advantages are being able to able to:

- Use a more familiar two-handed grip
- Have better recoil management
- Be able to have a freed support hand

See that S&W is pushing the 2.0 Shields with the lasers now that they bought Crimson. Might rather go with something like that than a light. I will always have a light with me but not on the gun. They're really offering them cheap compared to normal add-on lasers. Proclaiming the holster makers are on board with them too.

You would rather have to operate your pistol with one hand, and your flashlight with the other?

Lasers can be useful at night, but being able to PID a threat is vital.
