Along these lines.... weapon mounted LED lights. What are people using? Looking at getting one for my bag. It won't be permanently mounted, just thrown on when clearing a building, so quick detach is a must. And, different prices for such. Looking for sub-$100.
A couple of reasons I'd advocate getting a holster that works with the light mounted on the gun:
1) are you gonna remember every time to take the light with you from the bag?
2) you find someone who wants to resist/fight while doing your search, but can't justify shooting him. Do you wanna waste time taking the light off, under stress, with your hand that close to the muzzle, before you can reholster?
The safariland SLS &
ALS holsters are made so they turn the light off automatically as you reholster, at least with the TLR series from Streamlight. I use an
ALS with the rotating hood, a Glock 22 and a TLR-1. Works great.
