Can you describe further how a pistol mounted light affects drawstroke?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay.

First, I have dedicated MANY hours to a smooth draw out of my duty holster. I have a tough time buying into the muscle memory thing as dynamics of a fast and stressful situation screw up my memory.

Much like Gigag said, the angle allowing for a draw is not very forgiving with duty holsters designed for lights. The Safariland holsters mandate a near "straight up" draw which proves difficult to me with my off hand or while on my back. Any deviation from a straight up draw causes a bind in the entire drawstroke. I like to begin the forward turn of my gun muzzle immediately upon clearing the holster so a shot can be taken at contact distance...the light messes all that up for me.

The holster I carry is a Safariland 6360 dropped. In the lower position, I have smooth spots worn onto the holster and a nice hole in the center console of my Corolla from rubbing. If I added a light, I would destroy my personal car

So do I.

I am not amfan of pistol mounted lights because of what it does to my drawstroke. I have made other arrangements to never be in the dark. Much like a spare magazine, one is none.

OMB express has the TLR-1 on the front of their new catalog for $84.99. That is a smoking deal for angrwat light. I am going to pick one up for my shotgun.
