Speaking of IDPA flashlight techniques, here’s how I’ll be rolling at the upcoming Indoor Nationals. I use a Crimson Trace Railmaster light as a handheld light because it allows me to get a really positive master grip on the pistol.
Reloads with this grip are simple with a semi-auto pistol, just roll the light deeper into your hand. They’re a little more complicated with a speedloader, I need to shift the grip a little to make it work right.
How about that new gadget – Surefire, was it? – that allows you to attach you light to your finger with a ring?
Not legal for IDPA competition. This flashlight technique was conceived specifically for IDPA shooting to allow shooters to get the best grip possible on the pistol.
So what do you use to carry the light?
A pocket.
