No much else to ask. My new daily carry has a rail, and I'm back and forth trying to figure out if I really want to put a light on it. I'm looking at the O-Light PL-Pro if I do. I just don't know if I should put that $130.00 into the holster, or if I want the extra weight/dimension.
IF THIS IS YOUR FAVOURIT FORUM TOO! Post your opinion below PLS. Your gun friends in here like to know!

A light simply signals the bad guy, your location.

Do you see any utility in it for home defense?

i used one while as an officer.........used right they are an asset........especially when you are by yourself and you need a third hand building clearing.
i never left it attached to the gun. Always carried it in an accessory pouch and used it more as a stand alone flashlight......but there were a few times it did get attached and was helpful.
just remember.....where that light is pointed is where the muzzle is pointed. keep your finger off the blessed trigger.

I have one on my night stand gun but i wouldn't feel the need to have one on my carry gun. makes the gun bulkier anyway. With the light you don't have to turn it on but it's nice to have just in case you need it. You don't have to flip them on either, most if not all have a momentary switch too.

The downside is the added weight up front allowing the muzzle to dip causing subsequent rapid fire shots to be off. Not a big deal to many but for someone who knows how fast they can shoot at certain distances and still get accurate shots will notice the added time it takes for the muzzle to get back on target
Simply do not like the idea of having my source of illumination being a deadly instrument when I do not know what my target might be in say, a dark house at night. Better to have a laser, or nothing on the handgun, and have a flashlight in your aft hand.
I experienced that snipers aimed at glowing sigaret tips shot and killed at great distances. So no lights or smoking cigars for me in combat situations! My opinion.
