American Handgunner, July-August, 2009 by Clint Smith
I have seen some handguns with lights mounted on them not operate correctly in the hands of some shooters. If you mount a light to a handgun make sure you test the combination of equipment for fit. You want to make sure it doesn't fall off while firing, check the function does the thing actually work? Also it's a good idea to practice handheld light techniques should there be a catastrophic weapons-light failure. Batteries burn out, switches don't switch, and rails let go. I see it all the time in class.
I think carrying a handgun for personal protection is a smart move. And having a firearm for home defense? Well--it might be even smarter.
