Why should you train for this?

Half of our lives take place in the dark
Criminal activities, like burglaries, mostly take place at night
Buildings have dark spaces, even during daytimes
But even more important is to "PID" your targets a.k.a. "Positive Identification" - because sending rounds at your coat rack or worse-a person you don’t intend to shoot is something anyone doesn't want on their conscious

These reasons alone are why we believe a weapon-mounted light a.k.a. "WML" should be a mandatory accessory-since it makes the use of weapons safer.

What do you need?

Either a handheld flashlight or a pistol mounted flashlight. both work, but have pros and cons. Examples are:
- "PIDing" without muzzling can only be done with a handheld
- A proper two-handed grip for a handheld is only possible when it’s ring-assisted like with a Thyrm Switchback, otherwise it’s practically 1-handed shooting
- Reloads and manipulations are difficult with a handheld as it may need to be repositioned temporarily
- Doing searches or admin stuff with a WML is a no-go

In general it’s smart to have both as handhelds are better for “finding” and WML’s are better for “fighting” That’s a quick sidenote into knowing what to use.

Note: Shooting with a handheld light requires much more training then with a WML, especially in terms of indexing and for that reason we’ll focus on drilling with a WML (Sorry to our German brothers)
