Default Light-laser

Do you guys have a light on your nightstand weapon? If so, what do you recommend? I'm seeing lights, light & laser, and strobe light.
Thanks!
Jim

Nope just a hand held light. That's what works for me.

Agree, I don't want the perp knowing where I'm at although I do have laser grips and my light is hand held

I don't have a light mounted. I have a handheld tactical light that lives with the pistol, and I've trained myself to grab and use them in the dark.

I have a light on mine and a handheld light. Like lights....lasers are nice too but I feel a light is way more critical.

Just have a handheld light next to the nightstand gun. Don't like lights mounted on my handgun.

Lights attract bullets like a tax hike attracts Democrats. Night sights on all my pistols, and my night vision is better than my vision with glasses on.
