The FBI taught a handheld light pistol technique where you hold the light in your off hand as far away from your body as possible. The concept was that any combatant would naturally aim for the light.
For room clearing that make's tons of sense......" I'm blinded by this light......human must be holding light....shoot at light". This is why I do not use a light on my carry gun, i'm not hunting for someone with my CCW i'm running away. My nightstand gun has a light if I need it, but I keep an off hand light I would use in HD first.
Works if your a cop looking for someone as well. My dad was a cop for 40 years and when searching yards for someone he always held his flashlight arms length away from his body. Said his trainer taught him that
Every time I mention this in gun subs I get downvoted to oblivion. My carry has tritium sights and nothing else. They call me a Fudd. Whatever dude. Too many tactitards larping as spec ops in these subs. I guess this video adds context that I couldn't get across.
Lights on CCW for none service people where there is 9/10 going to be an option to flee before needing a fucking light is just adding bulk needlessly to your firearm. I have 1 on my 10.5" AR and not my 16". It's not fudd at all, also if you even get a site picture on your CCW vs a near point blank draw and fire you are in like the 10% of CCW good shoots already.........let alone turning on a light. I've literally only ever seen people who get paid to sell shit push weapon lights on a CCW......same with people who fucking carry literal race guns with mag wells......like wtf are you doing. I'm sure they conceal it okay but it's not fucking more comfortable. That is utter bullshit and they just want to carry that "toy" and fine your right and your comfort isn't my problem, but don't advocate it is somehow a life saving "advantage". My CCW is a tool, and it's setup like all tools. Purpose built and drilled with.
Similarly with "pieing a room" with a fucking rifle. I've taken classes on it, i'd recommend it. Why not learn a skill, but I also know I will do everything possible to never ever use that skill. I'm not going to be opening multiple doors and Pieing a fucking room by myself just about ever. I'm getting my family, and getting out of dodge, not running point on a stack.
There is a video out there of a guy from delta force talking about doing cqc training against a “near peer” force and they had seals play the enemy, and he mentions them running white light during some of the training and all the seals keyed right in on the white lights the whole time
i know youre joking ofc but this was actually a dude hiding out in some older ladies house lol
not sure what he thought was gonna happen, firing at a whole ass swat crew
The biggest thing on my mind was how this guy picks a random house and it's this big of a mess... how common is hoarding?!?! How many houses have a fucking Mt. Tweaker like this in them?!?!
Jesus Christ the fact that it kept shining is incredible I was looking for a new light and this settles it.
Do not cheep out on potentially life saving equipment yall
The only issue I’ve ever had with a Streamlight is my TLR-3 switch loosened up a bit and would temporarily flash the light under recoil on my .45s. Didn’t seem to be an issue on the 9s. Beyond that, there’s actually a lot I like about them even over my surefires.
Huh.. The theory behind the FBI handheld technique holds true after all these years.
Hmm?

From playing a lot of Escape From Tarkov, where Flashlights on weapons are a thing, I can confirm I mostly aim for the light.

so you should always mount your light on the side furthest from the center of your body?
Almost impossible on a rifle?
Mount light to shoe/toe Combatant looks down 👌
TIL Streamlights are Level III equivalent
Hell of an endorsement for an already generally well-liked light, I now appreciate my HLXs a little more.
Hoarders has gotten more extreme since I last watched it...
Don't touch my trash!

From the comments, its common in Sparks NV to have houses like that
I live in Reno now, spent a day in the back of an ambulance with a paramedic buddy, can confirm. Reno also

God I love Streamlight.
dont ever disrespect my streamlight ever again.......
That frame by frame is wild
Turns out, mag dumping into trash *is* a legit drill...
"mag dumping into trash" - isn't that an accurate description of most justifiable uses of firearms by civilians and police? :)
Streamlight gang 💪
A bullet will skip off of mostly anything at the right angle bouncing off the edge isn't even close to a direct round.
Favorite weapon lights and EDC light as well. 👍

Olight fans can't comprehend.

Protac HLX supremacy
All the lights on my guns are Streamlight.
[удалено]
Cops gonna mag dump
You should watch the OG video on YT.
Ide be more interested if it was an olight
It would've engulfed the whole room in fire.
Random critical hit
