Tactics and training have evolved. When I first came into shooting I was taught the old FBI way of holding a flashlight away from the body because of the belief that's where the bad guy is going to shoot. Well, I'm going to tell you that tactic limits you to a lot of things, like that's very difficult to do in tight close quarters. Especially if you're doing a fluid room clearing.
And if you're holding a flashlight close to your gun and grip then why not have it on the weapon then? Keep in mind the light is not supposed to be constantly on.
Anyway, thoughts?

I prefer the light on the weapon, this way I have a two handed grip on said weapon or a free hand for whatever it's needed for. I only have to worry about Lisa and if she is behind me, anything lit up by the light doesn't belong there.
