These days, nearly every handgun comes with a rail, so here are some top pistol light choices to help destroy the night.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There was a time when it simply wasn\u2019t possible to mount a light onto your firearm. Oh, duct tape, hose clamps and an indifference to tactical fashion could get a flashlight attached to your riot gun or AR-15, but people wouldn\u2019t have called you clever for that\u2014not even back in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s rare a pistol doesn\u2019t have a rail for light-mounting, and the choice of lights to mount are near legion.<\/p>\n

To some, basic is boring. To others, it\u2019s dependable. The TLR-1 isn\u2019t new, it\u2019s not flashy, but it works. And has worked for years. Using a pair of CR123 batteries, it generates 300 lumens of light and continues to do so for two and a half hours. If you\u2019re simply playing the numbers game, 300 might not seem like much, but when it came out that was plenty. And it still is in a lot of circumstances and locations. Indoors, in particular, too many lumens can be a problem. If the predominant paint color on your walls at home is Navajo White, you\u2019re not going to need, nor like, 1,000 lumens.<\/p>\n

If, however, you do want to have enough lumen horsepower to signal the mothership, then let\u2019s go up in power.<\/p>\n
