We were camping one night and I pulled out my glock with the streamlight tlr and turned it on around midnight, my companions became believers. If you ever need to deal with something in the night with a firearm, I would recommend having one.
Any time I got camping/hiking/larping innawoods I always have my glock 17 with an x300 ultra. The thing is so goddamn bright. But it's also moronicly expensive
Is it hard to find holsters for pistols with lights?
It can be a bit of a b***h to be honest. I trust Safariland because the plastic is rugged as frick and I've never had a bad time. Also, like my light, it's stupid expensive. But you get what you pay for, or at least that's what i tell myself
Not very, at those engagement ranges you're point shooting anyways. The light is great for illumination and to dazzle. People dont rate that factor highly enough.
How useful is a laser on an HD pistol? I got two of the same light for Christmas, one with a laser and one without.

It might not help much in a live scenario but it helps at the range. It's good for improving at the range IMO. It'll help you isolate whether your problems are just not shooting straight or if you're not aiming right. If you use a laser at the range and still have bad grouping then it means you aren't shooting right. But if you have bad grouping with irons and good grouping with the laser then it means something is off with your aim (ie you're not using the irons right). Or at least that's how I read it but I'm not an expert
It's a fricking flashlight, you npc Black person cattle moron. It illuminates things. Do you even understand what a useless fricking bugman you are by asking these boring and useless questions?
You no gunz having b***h. OP Asked a question and we're answering them. It takes absolutely zero effort to see a thread you're disinterested in and keep scrolling.
>tis i! a sub zero iq drooling moron that doesn't understand simple and useless information! if only i'd shone more lights into my face instead of drinking chemstick liquid and eating leaded paint flakes!!

>gives away position
I've heard it's better to hold a flashlight off to the side to confuse the enemy for this reason. Do they make flashlights that are easily detachable? My buddy has a magnetic laser site so something like that but a flashlight would be best IMO because it attaches to the gun so it's always with you. And then you could just pull it off when you actually need it
At close range it just as much blinds whoever you point it at as it allows you to see. It's not "giving away your position." Add in other nice things like laser/light combos and pistols and it making tritium sights unnecessary. You really should have one for HD and ideally for carry if you can conceal it well, but I think putting a light on a proper rifle is much more open to debate.
a hd gun is the most pointless place to put a flashlight. if something goes bump in the night your instinct is to turn the lights on so you can see, not to clear your house in the dark. a weapon light is only going to be good for shooting Black folk fleeing across your lawn before they get away with your tv.
Lights are indispensable on HD firearms. >You leave your house lights off because YOU know your own home. The intruder doesn't. He's the one who needs the lights to navigate. >You leave your gun light off until you absolutely need it. Its main purpose is positive target identification - unless you're single and alone, you MUST BE POSITIVE that the blob in the dark isn't a family member or a confused property maintenance guy before you shoot.
the intruder is more likely to be a possum or a tree branch than a human, and the humans you have to worry about will all have nods so it doesn't even matter if the lights are out. if you don't just turn the lights on you're larping.
Extremely outdated. It's unintuitive, needs extra training, makes you less accurate, is tiring, and requires you to be carrying that flashlight everywhere in the days of cell phone lights..
Separate light has more utility as a daily item, don't have to point your firearm at everything you wish to illuminate, two hands are more stable than one hand, lead arm ready to defend against physical attacks, easy to get on target with a modicum of practice >Is tiring >Cell phone lights
Try putting down your phone once in a while and go to the gym
It's just pointless man. An acceptable pistol flashlight is $100-150 these days, and you have extremely small and flush lights like the tlr-6 for many popular pistols. Many pistol lights have lasers to let any moron get on target fast. Fantasies of using your "lead arm" to defend against attacks are on the same level of performing 100yd mudcrawl stress tests for a firearm that's never going to leave the city limits. The light on a cellphone is more than enough for anything you would need while casually out on some random day, and anyone who always carries a flashlight in their pocket is a sperg.
I can bench 235 for 3x5.
They are really necessary, holy shit notraining. Yeah lwt me just spend 30 minutes typing up a list of the uses of LIGHT when your dumb ass should be paying for training or whoring yourself out for it like every other man has to.
The shmuck on the other end of the flashlight gets temporarily blinded if you turn it on right in his face. Lets you get in a clean shot while they're stunned. Don't use them for clearing. It gives away your position.
Seeing stuff in the dark is cool and our eyes don't do that so well.

Look for holsters that index from the light. They are specific to a light but will fit pretty much any handgun.
its easier the more popular gun and light are, almost no options for P80s though

Very useful, point dot at target and shoot.
It's good for point shooting at very close range. You literally can't see the laser if you are looking down the sights.

Buy a WML, but don't buy an Olight.

true but using a modlite as a spotlight with the intention to "pid" someone in the woods at night 300 yards away is what will get you shot.
I think it's pretty reasonable to have a light on your HD gun. I have one on mine, but I don't know, maybe you sleep with the lights on.

Shoot anyway

For home defense? Sure, attach it, if you don't need a light turn it off.

You do have a flashlight on your HD shotgun, right /k/?

very nice

Ambush and blind.
100% necessary on a home defense weapon. Everything else it's likely just extra weight.
