[QUOTE="rockchalk06, post: 3948623, member: 40794"] Ya, if you can stand there and use both eyes with around 17k candela blasting you in the face, what's attached to the light aint big enough. I can see this being true on those old giant stinger "Tonks", but not a modern weapon light with some salt. But to answer the OP question, Yes. On my handgun and rifle home defense weapons I have the brightest light I can afford. Sitting next to or attached to both is a handheld light just as bright. Situation will dictate what gets shined on someone. Obviously if the front door gets kicked in, I could care less about identifying my target without pointing the muzzle at them. Different situation, handheld. I'm not going to point my weapon at anything I don't intend to destroy completely. One of those rule thingys Shooting with lights attached kinda sucks. I've heard from some people it helps control muzzle rise or balance the weapon out. I haven't experienced that. The two that I do shoot with lights on, I tape the end of the light off with painters tape so I don't have to clean it afterwards. I'd shoot it both ways just so you can feel the difference. [/QUOTE]
