Rails, Lights, and Lasers...

4. No reason you can't have a flashlight in the hand AND one on the gun.

Make the hand flashlight a nice big heavy MagLite that doubles as a club, or something small and disposable that you can throw as a distraction.

"Catch!" you yell to the burglar, and while he's tracking the spinning penlight you hit him with the weaponlight and yell "FREEZE MOTHERFUCKER!!!".


But even with a tightly focused beam, there's still a lot of reflection and dispersion throughout the room. I think you'll be okay. You're suppose to use the light sparingly anyway.

Nevertheless, the possibility exists that you could flick on the weaponlight as you come around a corner and have a family member right in the beam, and therefore uncomfortably close to the path of a bullet.



I don't know which way to go. On the other hand, having only one hand on a handgun makes it harder to shoot accurately and track moving targets.
