Good valid points, one I forgot to cover.
1. For me I haven't noticed any difference in balance as well as accuracy.
2. I only have two holsters that allow a light attached. They are for my G21sf, and G19. They are both set up on a rig. I do not wear a light on a daily carry. Either way I also have a handheld light as backup.
I believe a weapon mount light is good tool supported by good tactic, but should have handheld as a secondary or primary depending on the situation.
