[QUOTE="D. Hargrove, post: 3062084, member: 41761"] There seems to me a point where any aftermarket addition to any weapon is a source of psychological edge to the shooter. If you add a WML to your G19 and feel it provides you some tactical edge in a potential SD situation, then by all means add a WML to your ensemble. The key at least in my mind is to train with whatever system you have and become as proficient and comfortable with it as possible. If there is a reason you believe a WML will allow you to PID a potentially adversarial element, then a quick on and off may be for you. On the other hand if engaged in a fire fight and a flash of light gives the bad guy a target to engage, well that might suck just a bit. In my home I am confident in the layout of the home, low level light sources and possible ingress/egress points, I have IMO no need for any WML as I have trained repeatedly on accessing the home from several different locations and am extremely familiar with what should and should not be in any given room. That of course changes when an issue occurs out on the farm where things are extremely fluid with regard to light sources and potential engagement zones. For this purpose my AR is wearing a SureFire with a pressure activated switch just in case a flash of light assists in the PID of a target. If the light makes you happy and you are confident in the use of the weapon, them more power to ya. If not, then what ever makes you feel that you will engage the adversary in a accurate/timely/efficient manner. [/QUOTE]
