A little bit of talk about flashlights...

Cabela’s, Midway USA, L.A. Police Gear, Cop Quest, Pro Defense, Academy, Carter’s Country, and Wal-Mart.

These are places to get good flashlights of a “tactical or defense” type. Streamlight has both nylon flashlight (polymer) and metal in the $30.00-$60.00 range. They also have weapons mounted lights with &without laser from $79.00- $179.00.  Academy sells Streamlight tactical lights at very reasonable prices and all of the places have them in stock. Sure Fire lights and Streamlight, and Maglite you can’t go wrong with. You’ll only spend the money once and you won’t regret it when you learn how to employ it at our upcoming low light shoot. Surefire G2 & G3 Nitrolon lights are a great choice, but you will need a light for the scenarios and as I always say” Flashlights and extra magazines, have em in depth, and if you buy CHEAP…..you’re gonna buy twice.” Cabela’s has lights from $39.00 of house brand that are made by one of the Major makers mentioned above. Check out their Shooting Catalog.

You don’t need Nite Sights for the scenario but you’ll love them when you get them and you should have them on your gun. I have them on every carry pistol except revolvers as they are older models that are hard to fit or custom job stuff. You can order them online but Pro Defense in Webster (call first) usually has them in stock and puts them on while you wait or shortly after you drop the weapon off. Novak’s will put theirs on your gun and overnight it back if you pay for it and their sights are outstanding (and OEM on Springfield, S&W and others.) I believe XS Sights has the same policy for their Big Dot Express sets of nite sites.

Do yourself a favor and don’t bring a plastic flashlight from Ace or Lowes or Wal Mart. Get a light that is gonna take hard use you’ll see why trust me and you’ll never go back to a light you have to shake or head whack to get it to work.

EDDIE… OUT
