While doing so, I would look at current data that is being put out by professionals or professional organizations, and shy away from any dated data from sources that don't hold those qualifications. I strongly disagree that a WML is useful for concealed carry. What are you going to use it for? Threat ID? You can't use a WML to ID a threat because the threat has to be ID'd before you present (even at low ready) a weapon. I shouldn't need to explain the legal jeopardy attached to presenting a weapon to someone whom you're not reasonably sure is a deadly threat. One doesn't have to be a cop or a use of force "expert" to see this. But if you need a use of force expert, here's one Edited September 20, 2022 by Johnny_Chimpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwos Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Mas is right that you shouldn't usually search with a WML, which most reputable instructors would tell you. I keep a handheld light on me for such tasks. But when it's time to get shooting, WMLs are far more convenient than handheld lights, and, yeah, I've done it on a timer. I don't like the way my gun recoils and balances with a WML on it, so I don't put one on for competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably because I didn’t have a great grip to begin with, but it has helped my shooting. I have a friend who competes with a light - swears the extra weight helps him. I personally don't use a light. He says extra weight up front helps him. This is shooting GSSF unlimted. I say experiment ... see what works or doesn't.

mSNACKS Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 If the game/stages make the light a benefit (idpa dark stages) definitely worth it. Otherwise it seems mostly not necessary. The only time I think it makes a decent gain is if you were shooting a stock weight Glock than I think adding a heavy light like a x300 would make controlling recoil easier without hurting transitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
