[QUOTE="Ar15, post: 3877686, member: 7177"] Honestly you need to have a secondary or primary flashlight light is my opinion for tracking down noises, etc because a gun light for doing both is not the best choice even if trained. The Best option is both. A few times where a gun and weapon mounted light can be utilized and would be impossible with gun in one hand and flashlight in another. Depends on your training, but I have trained and simultaneously used my gun and mounted light and was safely able to do the following. 1. Opening a door using a door knob or handle 2. dialing and using a cell phone or other device 3. carrying a child or assisting an injured person. 4. Use of both light and gun when one hand/arm is injured. Now when a threat is not found, I have been able to reholster ( you have a holster right? ) and do the following with just a flashlight safely 1. Take trashcan to the curb or put on lid that blew off 2. check mail while outside 3. Get my phone out of my car 4. Pet the dog 😄😄 [/QUOTE]
