When are you ever going to be searching around for a threat? The only time you’d do that is during in active threat, in which case a weapon mounted light is 100x superior.

Thanks God for for cops...but...not necessarily the brightness bunch. That type of thinking is why cops should not be issued Glocks. Too easy to pop off a round inadvertently since they WANT to shoot someone, bad guy preferably.

@@joncampo1627 domestic instance where the person breaking in is a defiant teenager, friend of a child, etc. plenty of reasons we shouldn’t walk around pointing loaded guns at people we’ve yet to identify

Back to the level of training, i guess. We know the controversial "1 round in chamber."

It’s not advisable for Identifying possibly threats. Too many legal cases of people getting aggravated assault charges because they pointed their gun at someone who they shouldn’t have.

Same here. I am a no name nobody. And I have never taken a class with Mr. Lamb. But I have taken a class with Mike Pannone, who advocates for a much simpler temple index of the light. He was also D. And he also has a Surefire YT video that advocates the temple index. I find the temple/cheek index very useful in everyday situations, especially just walking my dogs at night. I am always looking for cats and skunks and what not when walking my dogs. The other benefit that Pannone states for using the temple/cheek index is it illuminates your sites as well as your target. And another drawback to using the Harries technique is interrogating a treeline or row of cars (parking lot), or the long side of a building, to your strong side. IE, it is pretty easy to aim across your body with the Harries technique. But it is super awkward to do so if you needed to perform that same interrogation going the opposite way. Try it. Also, I use the Surefire Tactician. It is always momentary on unless you fully twist on the tailcap. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9BnebCbm9HGmZ8.html

@@pehenry Yes. I like Travis Haley's approach where he uses everything and incorporates it with erratic movement and lighting direction. Admittedly you can't do Haley's approach for normal utility or you will look silly, but I do find it effective when you know you are probably going to be in a fight. Once you turn on a light at all, everyone in the area is going to be alert to your presence, at that point you have to have mobility and choose your paths carefully like room clearing to limit the amounts of threats you have to deal with at once. In force on force, the erratic usage of light does sometimes have the effect of simulating multiple people, which his also pretty cool as a bad guy probably is more likely to flee if he thinks he has to deal with multiple people.

Overseas vs domestic use.
