[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 3670732, member: 684"] I think a WML on a long gun is mandatory. I mean, you can't fire a rifle or shotgun properly with one hand on the weapon and the other gripping a hand held light. My Mossberg 500 has a Streamlight TLR-RM1 installed and I love it. With that being said, I'm still on the fence about a WML on a pistol. I do have a Streamlight TLR-7A on my M&P45 beside my front door, but it's only duty is door greeter and outdoor searching. But as for what I carry at work, my simple mind worries about my fingers or thumbs taking on extras roles like manipulating activation buttons/switches of a WML. I was taught the Harries Technique of handgun/flashlight usage... [ATTACH type="full" alt="22.jpg"]233683[/ATTACH] ...and it works for me. I'm sure with proper training, I could be just as proficient with a WML but the Harries is so 2nd nature to me, I figure why train for something different? The growing trend in LE today is WMLs on duty pistols, which is fine, I get it. It's just not for me. [/QUOTE]
