I have a Crimson Trace light guard on my go to handgun. It does not require use of the trigger finger to activate. It is not an always on or always off choice. IMO, the rail mounted lights should be activated with the off hand, not the trigger finger, but I don't know what the experts teach on this.

The advantage of the weapon mounted light, IMO, is that the light is shining on whatever I intend to shoot. I have plenty of hand held flashlights to use if needed for just looking around.

The other advantage is that the off hand can be used to herd family members to safety or carry a hand weapon if needed.
