I have been packing and teaching for 45 years. I do not allow any kind of powered or just lumninous aid in any of my classes. If you depend on them, I can promise you it WILL fail at the most inconvenient time. You are far better off spending the money on practice ammo and training. Of course I do not deingrate the devices themselves, just dependence on them. A flashiight is of course a necessity in HD, but not necessarily on the weapon. Hanging a light on the weapon when you have trained without it mounted is just plain dangerous, and if you train with the light always mounted two things will happen:
1. You will get good with the light/weapon combo,
2. You will learn how fragile they can be in terms of light emitter (bulb) breakage or losing contact points, or something just shooting loose.
Lear first with plain old sights, then get fancy-if you must.
