[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1329899, member: 684"] Nope. No rail. Which, IMHO is a kind of worthless item. I guess it's a "good" thing to be able to mount a light on your weapon, but I for one, see too many "cons" versus "pros" with a light mounted on your weapon. :disappoin First and foremost, let's look at the rule about not pointing your weapon at something you don't intend to shoot/kill/destroy. Remember that one? If you illuminate the "bump in the night" that turns out to be your 6 year old daughter/son going to the bathroom, you've just compromised their well being. For this simple reason, if none other, I use a hand held flashlight. Secondly, I think when you get your trigger finger doing more than one task, it's a recipe for disaster. My trigger finger has [B]ONE[/B] job...to pull the trigger! Oh sure, you can switch the light off and on with your off gun hand, I reckon, but that's kinda cumbersome too. And lastly, unless the light mounted on your weapon is used [B]solely[/B] for night stand duty, you gotta have a holster for a weapon lighted pistol. This ******** some guys spew about how they can draw their weapon, attach the light and be on target in mere seconds is a crock. :screwy: They've obviously only done it on the range and not when the pucker factor of an armed encounter with an assailant right in front of you comes into play. Because I'm here to tell ya, one minute your gun is in your holster and the next is presented downrange. You ain't coordinated enough to mount that light onto your gun with a bad guy just feet away. Yes, it happens...Just. That. Fast. Usually and as always, YMMV. :respect: [/QUOTE]
