It's hard enough to get your gun out and on target without juggling a flashlight. Try that with someone attacking you from about 21' away. Then give them a knife or a baseball bat or a gun. A flashlight will be the last thing on your mind.

I have set up situations in dim light, low light, and no light. I have tried them with flashlights and without flashlights.

I can't spreak for anyone else, but for me I will not carry a self defense weapon without night sights.

I know I'm not as practiced as some of you. I'm just not good enough to complicate things. I need to keep things as simple as possible.

I re-read this and wanted to add: I am not anti-flashlight. I have them all over the house and in all my vehicles. I just don't depend on them.
