Re: Lights for home defense
Yup Surefire here also. 6PX Tactical, so pushing the button is momentary on only. Don't have to working about clicking twice for high beam, once for low beam, etc. If I'm pushing it is on, if I'm not it isn't. Definitely agree with TVGuy on one thing though. You should shoot with the flashlight in as dark as you can get it. I try to hit the range on off hours sometimes so I can turn out all the lights and shoot in the dimness, never goes pitch black. It widens my groups up for sure. I've also gone around the house at night with everything off with my light. So I can see what it'll look like. I need to get a set of electronic earmuffs to hang next to the bed also. No telling how long I'd be deaf shooting in a house.

Re: Lights for home defense
I don't have on attached to my pistol. I carry one on me as part of my every day stuff. I keep flashlights all over the house. I got a couple next to the bed, bathroom, desks, little table I drop my stuff on by the door, next to the couch, kitchen, etc. Probably never more than 4 feet away from a flashlight in my house. Then also keep candles and lighters in the closet in case need long term light. I personally don't want a light stuck to my pistol, because I'd like to be able to put light on someone without point my pistol at them if necessary. Long gun is different because difficult to run one and a flashlight at the same time if they aren't attached.
