How does a light on the gun effect outcome or have bearing on an SD shooting?Is there any info out on court outcomes of lighted gun SD shootings?
Personally, I think all pistols made for defense should include a built-in light (and tritium sights). Lights need to be smaller, because any light is better than no light. Now that we have LED's the light could fit in the tip of the tension bar, like some lasers do already. We don't need 200 lumens, 50 would be better than none. So, asmall light of 50-80 lumens should easily be powered by a single AAA, or watch battery, and it should be so small that holsters don't need to be customized.
I think your on to something here. It makes sense to utilize a component that is already standard on a weapon to add a little light. I also dont understand why companies do not include night sights as a standard site on a defensive handgun
i agree completely with this but figured some sort of glowing site wouldnt be too hard to make the new standard. But your completely right that everyone wouldnt be happy with their choice. But the alot of people arent happy now either having to spend more $$$ on different sights.Plus there are myriad choices in night sights these days.
