Hallways, and I don't know if it applies in your case, are kind of like pinch zones, they restrict WHOEVER is using them a little, you or the others. Lights there might be a problem, depending on where located, you don't want to BE a silhouette but maybe have them be.

So no, it's my view (not quite worth 2 cents) that not having a light on your firearm isn't a bad thing, it's all about preference (yours) and a given situation.

On the other hand, if you could find a light that wouldn't be in the way on your defense tool, you'd still have the option of using it. Like the fire extinguisher, better to have it and not need it,,,,,,,,,,,,
