    Question Handgun mounted lights

    Do you use them?

    I have this setup on one of my "house guns", G35 with LW 40-9 conversion barrel installed. There are pros and cons to using a weapon mounted light but for my situation and intended use I chose to have one, YMMV.

    Nice glock! I had a m3x for years...Been thinking about getting one of the new led versions.
    For me, Im not so much worried about the "shoot me" lights...As critters are more what I would need one for around my property...

    Don't have a light, but i do have a guide rod green laser light on my G20. Been thinking of getting a light but don't really need it in my house, we have night lights all over the place cause i get up to go pee a lot in the night and hate to fumble for light switches....really sucks getting old.

    Picked up one for the G20 when I first got it.



    Never did like it much and it didn't last long.

    Still got it somewhere or another, might even work if the batteries didn't leak or something.


    I just keep a nice flashlight handy.

    We have a very similar setup as Mr.Simmons for the house Glock. The nice thing is the momentary flash/toggle option for taking away the night vision of the intruder without leaving it in "shoot me light" mode.

    My SP-01 is my nightstand gun. I am just using a bright flashlight now but would like to try a weapon mounted light.

    Those federal 115 +p+ are pretty nasty for an old-school round.
