Welcome back to Iron Sights After Dark! JP and I recently got back from a low light course with Triple Feed in Las Vegas where we got even more low light reps in the tank. In this episode, we sat down to discuss our experience running a variety of lights including the SureFire X300, TLR-1 light, Haley Strategic & Modlite Systems. We discuss durability, rechargeable batteries & goal specific training when selecting the best handheld light set-up for you! We encourage everyone to carry a handheld light and have spent countless hours training, shooting and utilizing various light set-ups to test what works and what doesn’t. Tune in for a deep dive into the everyday set-ups we recommend in addition to our critiques on the most popular lights in the industry.
