Kyle Lamb On Using A Flashlight With A Pistol

My knowledge of using a flashlight with a firearm is probably antiquated because most of what I learned first came from Massad Ayoob's excellent book, "Stress Fire, Vol. 1" or are based on those same techniques. Great techniques and still foundational. But flashlights have gotten smaller, the layout is slightly different (i.e., a tailcap switch is now normal instead of a side mounted switch), and there are some items or accessories that simply were not available before. In the video below, Kyle Lamb discusses some variants on older techniques and some new techniques for running a handheld flashlight with a handgun.

      I personally like the one where he uses a flashlight with a bit of bungee cord to search, but just simply turns his hand down to get a solid two-handed grip on the handgun and resorts to the pistol light when there is a threat. He suggests that this is a technique for law enforcement, but it should work well for anyone that has a "nightstand" gun with a weapon mounted flashlight. Enjoy!
