[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1569204, member: 7629"] finally we have some feedback ... was beginning to feel like I'm the only one doing this. to answer a few questions... have not measured moa of hotspot yet. true a tight hotspot makes this method possible, but spill of light. which illuminates room/environment is equally important. what started all this was the debate of using a tritium night sight or not. risk of shooting something you cannot identify with 100% certainty would be a career ender. that would be valid for LEO and/or anyone else that uses a gun to defend their life. in normal daylight, fiber optic sights like Hiviz is clearly superior to hybrid sights like TFO which uses tritium tubes embedded into sight assembly. in failing light, if you no longer can see a high quality fiber optic sight like Hiviz. IMHO opinion you should not be taking that shot!!! again this would include LEO and/or anyone else who finds themselves in that unfortunate situation. with today's technology LED has long surpassed incandescent lamp's output. reliability is why Surefire remains weapon light of choice. this aiming/illuminating method lets you ID your target with 100% certainty without having to fiddle with your sights. steps are almost fool proof for this method of aiming/illuminating target/environment. note this method of aiming/illuminating environment is meant for closeup encounter. ideal in an home defense situation. 1. test shoot your gun, especially your shotty to confirm sight matches point of impact and what size groups for your particular load. OO buck, etc. 2. with weapon light mounted. shine light at 10 yds to isolate hotspot. then check if your sights matches up with center of hotspot. if hotspot matches point of impact for sights, then you are done. unfortunately weapon lights don't come with option to adjust hotspot like laser sights. however for folks using a P-60 LED drop-in. it is possible to match hotspot to gun's point of impact by rotating P-60 LED drop-in. the link is in OP. plans are to post a series of targets shot in pitch darkness. with feedback on size of hotspot to distance, etc. [/QUOTE]
