So, I have a weapon light... Now what? I've already "cleared" my tiny, 1000 sq ft house a few times. What else should I be doing with this while I wait for a dindu invasion?

Woops, almost forgot I'm on /k/.

I shouldn't mention Sigs here because of retards like you.
>>
>>32464958
But I'm OP and my gun was made in Exeter. This is a meme thread, shitposting is to be expected.
>>
>>32464934
Same. I got a very good deal on my German P226, but I wish I had a decent way to mount a light.
>>
>>32464890
clear it 1000 more times
>>
>>32464979
You do. Your hand.

Way more efficient than weapon mounted.

why is a light on a pistol a meme? seems legit to me, I've got a TLR-3 on my P226. shit goes bump in the night you'll be fucking glad you have it imo

That's not a reason not to mount a flashlight on gun. It's a reason to have a flashlight that's not mounted on a gun. There's a big difference.
>>
>>32465380
I am not a large person. I somewhat doubt my ability to effectively one hand a P226.

>having the dimmest flashlight ever
are you assholes still using Minimags or some shit? You know that modern LED lights will light up and entire room, right?
>>
>>32464890
Explore a cave.

They should make guns that attach to flashlights.
>>
complaining about weapon mounted lights is the absolute pinnacle of autism..even by /k standards
>>
>>32464941
Lol it's not chinese nor garbage, why don't you tell me why all the tier 1 units use surefire?
>>
>>32465712
because government contracts are not based on what is the best but who has the most political clout.
>>
For meme purposes somebody needs to mount an oil lantern to a mosin nagant and photograph it.

Fucking kek, they outfit themselves for the most part dumb dumb, also SOCOM standards are very high for equipment.

Oh my god you're a fucking meme. Look at what lights people like Haley Travis, Kyle Defoor, Tyler Grey, Larry Vickers, Pat Mcnamara, and Paul Howe are running.

>>32465580
You really should practice shooting one handed every time you go to the range, not only one handed but weak hand shooting. If someone is beating the shit out of you, the accuracy provided by two hand shooting will not mean a damn thing when you get cold cocked by a right hook to your chin. Thrusting both hands out in front of you is only a good idea if the person you are shooting is either a paper target or too far away to grab your gun/hands/arms. Up close and personal, you better use that habd to protect yourself.
>>
>>32465940
There's literally nothing wrong with a TLR-1. It's cheaper and just as solid as a X300.
>>
>>32465940

>you're a meme!

lmao
>>
>>32465976
> gun autists
Right, former delta operators and navy seals who are renowned for their training courses, shooting ability, and choice of gear are gun autists.
>>
>>32465973
'Just as good as' is the call of the poorfag

>>32465983
Fucking lol where did you get the idea that they use sponsored gear? Do you think they are competitors or something?

If someone is that fucking close I'm going to clinch and magdump center mass. I have a lot more hours in Muay Thai, Judo, and BJJ than I do on the range.
>>
>>32465999
I have a Surefire X300U on a Springfield Operator and a TLR-1s on my USP Tactical.

I like the TLR-1 better. It's smaller, lighter, I prefer the switch on it.

Poorfag from you sounds like "Sorry mister, I am unexperienced and can't have my own opinions".
>>
>>32466053
Muh dick. Where can I get that thing. Holy shit I need one.
>>
>>32464890
Since this thread is pretty derailed
>What else should I be doing with this while I wait for a dindu invasion?
Identify choke points (Tops of stairwells, bedroom doors, etc)

>go to range

>>
>>32466067
It's lighter because it's made with weaker, lighter materials.
It's cheaper because of its inferior construction.
>>
>>32466158
So you wouldnt touch a polymer pistol then?

They have a differnt mission, and a whole differnt type of engagement than we do. A soldier or sailor can drop someone for getting within 10 feet of them. You have to walk down the street and share a sidewalk with hundreds of people. You are literally surrounded by unknowns. Although its cool that military people use guns. Their training is nowhere near what a civilian uses to defend himself.
>>
>>32466063
What do you mean if? Do you know how muggings happen? They often start with someone asking you for directions or for the time, or someone seeing you obviously lost, not paying attention or have your head down. Then either knock you in the head from behind or when you look up or turn around there is a gun in your face. This garbage about pulling and drawing and shooting a static target is wishful thinking. There are no ok corral type drawing contests, and a lot of times muggers work in groups so while you engage one, another sucker punches you. Log off of the you tube gun channels and ask some people who have been robbed. It's instant survival mode, no target stances, no target shooting grips, point, shoot duck, cover, watch your back. Nothing like an ipsc match.

BFD has far more firearms than you do, plus SBRs and suppressors. He simply knows more than you.
>>
>>32467924
I realize this. My point is that if I'm close enough that two hands on the gun aren't practical, aiming isn't going to be my biggest problem. Also thought we were talking about weapon lights for home defense guns.
>>
Streamlight is not as good as Surefire, period. But, like Holosun vs Aimpoint, it's probably good enough for 99% of /k/.
>>
do you guys like responding to trolls for the hell of it or something?
>>
>>32471898
Nobody is really responding directly to him though

Sure, it's a shitty meme thread, but it spawned a discussion about flashlights, even if half of that discussion is sucking Surefire's $600 dick.
>>
>>32471909
Hey, you can get an x300 ultra for under $200 if you look in the right places.
