EXPERTS SHINE A LIGHT ON WMLS FOR CARRY GUNS

Two predictable changes occurred in the weaponmounted light market in the last decade or so. First, they’ve gotten smaller. Second, bigger lights have gotten absurdly powerful. A modern full-size weapon-mounted light is capable of packing 1,000 lumens and over 10,000 candela. Beams wide and powerful enough to fill a room with light, or to act as a searchlight outdoors, are now common.

While a light on a long-gun remains an undisputed must-have, the conversation regarding lights on concealed-carry guns is still something that’s evolving. The best way to explore the idea between weapon-mounted lights and concealed-carry weapons is to consult the experts. These experts include firearms trainers, prior service warfighters, police officers, and top-level competitors.
