Do you carry a light along with your pistol

Assuming you carry during the hours of darkness do you carry a light, and if so where? And if not..why?

I carry my light all the time day or night everywhere.

Why, Low light shooting or for seeing. Even in the day if power is lost it can be dark inside any building.

Nope. Feel that it would be more of a hinderance than help. I know it can be useful for distraction but most places aren't dark enough for that with street lamps, car lights, etc.

Where I park, it's dark, but I typically activate the lights on the truck (inside and out) from a distance before I get to it and it lights up the surrounding area, long before I get to it.

Now, tell me how wrong I am. I'm a big boy, I can take it.

I'd bet some quality training would change your mind.

I will if I knwo I am gonna be out after dark hours or there is a possibility of it.

My thinking is that you will have to see more things then you will have to shoot. As far as only carrying one when it is dark, the vast majority of my "oh sh!t," I need a flashlight movement occurred inside buildings.

I carry a Surefire G2 in a sheath on my belt, weak side.

i need a good recommendation for a inexpensive light no longer than 4" something to fit in my pocket/hand easily .. i deliver in the hood and now that it is getting darker earlier a nice light that has a good long beam for in the trailer and looking into dock area's is a nice thing to have...

also would double a a carry accessory

[jcabin]

Is this question asking if we having a light mounted to the accessory rail or if we carry a hand held light? I don't have one attached, I think it might cause some issues as far as CC'ing and also finding a holster to begin with. I do on occasion carry a small mag light in my pocket if I know I'll be out at night.
