[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 1241145, member: 8980"] ............................. He's an Officer. I do differ though in the belief that the light can be used as a target... and if you've done much shooting on a line with a lot of people in intense training, you'll notice many people have a tendency to shoot the gun on the target because people tend to focus on the threat of the gun. I figure the same would apply in this situation. The way we were trained from the academy was a handheld light and for the reasons I listed earlier in this thread. Out of the 130 Officers, I knew of maybe 3 that wore a weapon light all the time, maybe another 10 that carried the weapon light on their belt, and the rest (whether working days or nights) kept them either in the console, fairly handy, or in the trunk. Having said that though... the Department armorer was very much an old-school bear, and I have no doubt that was a primary reason that most carried Stingers (and why we were all issued 3d rechargeable mag lights that were $100 instead of spending $100 on a rechargeable Stinger which is smaller and more convenient). But again, like I said... I prefer to have both at hand. [/QUOTE]
