In this EDC tactical world, gear is one of the first topics to come up.
While this is a topic based primarily on preference and comfort level, there are just some inarguable perks of running high-performance gear. That said, we will be discussing the utility of a weapon light.
Weapon lights are frequently used by some of the highest-operating units around, from Special Forces to SWAT teams and even the Secret Service (lol). The following blog lists some of the biggest reasons to run a light on your handgun.
TARGET IDENTIFICATION
This is perhaps the most important argument for weapon lights. The fact that we are not guaranteed a clear and sunny sight picture in every environment means we should be ready for anything, especially in a real-world self-defense scenario where the slightest competitive advantage could save your life.
FREE HAND
Instead of having to run a flashlight in addition to your handgun, a weapon light allows you to operate it with just a flick of your finger. Thus, you can keep both hands on the firearm at all times.
CCW FRIENDLY
On our site, we carry both Streamlight and SureFire products. These two brands offer tremendous ergonomics when it comes to adapting well to your firearm and holster.
