[QUOTE="Norman, post: 3672510, member: 4232"] I can think of literally ZERO legitimate reason to not have a WML (possible exception being a revolver). Pretty much all of the “negatives” I’ve seen are from lack of training and a lack of experience. In doors rooms and halls can be illuminated while pointing the firearm in a safe direction. The FBI technique is wonky to shoot from, and you’d be getting in a gunfight with one hand on purpose. The Rogers technique has all of the ‘negatives’ of a WML, but it also adds in Inconsistency to your grip and is slower to get into. The neck index is a one handed gunfight on purpose. If your worried about the light being a billet magnet, you now put the magnet on your neck/face. Solid plan The Harries technique is a barely braced one handed gunfight. It carries all of the proposed ‘negatives’ of a WML. It is slower to get into, and I have seen a LOT of people cover their support hand getting into position. You HAVE to see a threat before you fire at it. If you insist on using a 50 year old technique, put it on a timer and check accuracy. Get a shot timer, and measure the time to first hit with the Harries technique (or whichever one tickles your fancy) from the holster. Next do the same with a weapon mounted light (benefit of the same draw stroke). WML will win. Make sure someone is there with a medkit and training, remember people tend to cover their wrist. When you’re done with that, fire five rounds as fast as you can with whatever handheld weapon light technique you choose. Do the same with a WML. I’d wager WML wins in accuracy. Last, use a hand held light technique, start covering the target and fire as quickly as you can keep all of your rounds in the A zone. Do the same with a WML. I’d wager WML wins. Zero actual downsides to a WML with proper technique. But GET TRAINING. [/QUOTE]
