Recently, I attended night shooting training.
A real eye opener, to say the least.
In really dark places, a laser alone is of little use.
We trained using handheld flashlights in different ways.
Takeaways included that night sights are a big help in low light.
Up close, really close, forget sights.
Have a lanyard on your light.
My HD gun also wears a lanyard so I can control it if I need both hands for something.
I don't carry this house gun.
