Thank you for shedding light on this subject.

I would say tritium sights are good once a gunfight has started in the dark against a back-lit target. Found that out during a simmunition training indoors. I would have had to use my light to see the sights which would have disclosed my location to the role player. One tip on using the light once the fight has started after you lost eachother. Flash an area to clear it and then immediately move to it so incoming fire will be directed at where you were instead of where you're at. Of course anyone watching you closely will be able to deal with that. But someone you're actively engaging and shooting at will have other things that warrant their attention. If you dont have a strobe feature you can hit the switch off and on quickly and if the light is bright it will be just as disorienting. I was on the receiving end of that one. Opponent did that with his Surefire X300 and managed to get to a different part of the room at the same time unnoticed by me. When i stated taking incoming fire i thought someone else had made it in there. That was a 14 year veteran of the Kansas Highway Patrol. A few years later he and anothet trooper showed up to a Domestic that spilled out into the yard. The guy had a large knife to his girlfriends daughters neck. He used that same light technique and ended up right next to the guy and shot him in the side of the head while grabbing his arm with the knife.

Finally someone gets the #1 argument for lights, WML or otherwise. It's dark approximately half of every 24 hours and unless you're one of the special sorts with NODs, you, me and nobody else can see in the dark. The rule says "be sure of your target and what's beyond it" and if it's dark, you can't see it.

Your videos are consistently one of my favorites on gun KZfaq. Practical, informative. Just overall good and great Info. I switched stocking my FMJ rounds to good shit because of you and then researching ballistic gel testing videos on dozens of different rounds utilizing my gun and the barrel length. Yes I get less of it. But it will build overtime and I’m okay with that, I have patience.

From a tactical stand point, always carry a pocket light. Some combatants are taught to shoot at the light. A pocket light can also be used for deception of your position.

Luminescent night sights are also defeated by rotating red and blue police lights.

Almost to 20. Love watching channels I enjoy grow.

Looks like you are a traveling man. Thanks for putting out good information brother

I think the TLR1 HL is going to become obsolete with the release of the TLR7HLX unless they upgrade the candela on the tlr1. Great video man keep it up 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Thank you. Seriously. I put a 1.5k lumen light on my home defense guns and every time I go to a class there's a tactitard telling me the light is too bright and that I'm just gonna blind myself.

This is one of the better discussions I've seen regarding lights.

i like this new intro you’re using much better!!!

Ready and waiting

I Just picked up the TLR 7 HLX and it's what I've been wanting forever. I highly recommend it. I can now have my Glock 45 MOS, holosun EPS with the radian ramjet with the TLR 7 HLX that is perfectly sized for it. I hope more holster companies will get on making retention holsters for this combo. This is my ideal duty setup.

Always so much information i just eat up. Love the different thought processes and tricks as well. Very knowledgeable. Just simply the best.

Looking forward to the next lights video this was well done. Thanks

Good information as always

Uncle freedom try a OVLIFE pistol flashlight

Awesome video thank you really much. In germany we are not allowed to see what we're shooting at. So a handheld light is mandatory. Do you have a recommondartion that doesn't break the bank like an OWL? More like a Streamlight HL-X or something like that. Perferable a 18650 and compatible with the Tyhrm. Keep the great work up 👍

Didn’t feel the need for a WML with the weak compact lights available and I didn’t feel the need for a duty sized one. But the TLR7 HL-X release changed that. A useful compact light. Grabbed it and a Tenicor for my 45 But absolutely agree. A handheld is a must. I don’t feel underprepared if I don’t have a WML as an everyday citizen

Your wifey must have a really good paying job and doesn't mind buying all your KEWL toys!! It would really be hard to afford all the things you bring to your content, as always thanks for all the educational content and wealth of real world situational awareness and keep it up ❤and have a great 4th of FREEDOM,God bless

Looking forward to your light videos. I’m a flashlight feen. All my guns have weapon lights.

That's why I run trijicon HD night sights because of the bright orange that's around the flourescent night sights

Present

Just bought the x300 ultra (yes I did use the link) after many hours of going back and forth between ultra or turbo. It rains A LOT where I’m at, what do you suggest?

Great video as always! I don’t run a light only because it makes the gun bigger than it already is with the red dot on it. My question to you is this. I often go to planet fitness with just a tank top on and I’m always worried about the gun printing. I’m always worried officers are going to come into the gym and ask to search my locker. What do you say about printing? Thanks

Hawk tuah that barrel!

+1 on the G26 with a handheld. Carry a Cloud Defensive MCH HC with a switchback every single day.

I carry a handheld Fenix PD36 TAC that I carry everyday with a tactical ring but I don't have a weapon light

I get a tickle when my SOP is confirmed by People who are actually working in the field. of course it is also disappointing at times when their advice goes toward all out tactical when my scenario is Home and personal defense vs open field combat

I think a light might help to scare a home invader into leaving

💡 F Y.I. HIGH pressure sodium bulbs are used in street lights. Nobody uses LOW pressure sodium light bulbs. Carry on ...... 🇺🇲💡

Is it just us? 😅

Its a sad state of affairs when a generation says "touching grass". How weak must a man be to think going outdoors is something of note? Youll rarely find me inside. Im typically outdoors workimg ,or if relaxing on my porch, outside at minimum 14 to 16 hours a day.
