All the training I have recieved says that a gun light is a supplement for a handheld light. When I clear a bldg, or need to illuminate someone, I use my small streamlight, even of my weapon is drawn. Also only use my non trigger hand to activate the light (TLR-1s).


We had an email sent out about it from the train/rec dept re-emphasizing
this.
Thank you, this is important information, particularly on how to use the gun light. I had not considered the gun light as the backup; the "TV trainers" seem to always consider it as the primary. The rationale for your training is (unfortunately) quite clear now.
