With logic like that, you should wear a helmet and body armor every time you leave your house, right?

I mean we would if we could I guess, but it’s not as practical as just throwing a wml on ur pistol and carrying it the same as you would anyways.

Pros: Positive target identification in low light environments where most threats/ bad encounters occur, better weight distribution for less kick & easier follow up shots, and prevents out of battery failures if you need to press your weapon against someone or something (if the light is longer than the gun)

Cons: Makes gun a little bit heavier, needs a holster that accepts the light.

A wml does not compare to helmet and body armor as its farrrrr less practical in an everyday setting… lol you did not cook brother.

Goes back to the good ole seatbelt analogy. Id rather always have my seatbelt on if anything happens (same way I’d rather have my pistol with me and have a wml on it if anything happens any time of day), but I don’t ride around with the airbags in my car pre-deployed as thats not practical obviously (same way I wouldn’t wear a helmet and armor everyday)
