it's often said that when bad things happen they tend to happen in the dark
or at least in reduced light so for those of us who carry a gun for our own
self-defense or have a gun in our home maybe one of the most important things
we know how to do is shed a little light on the subject let's get back the
lighting up the world everything you need I wanted to show you this light
this is a stream light scorpion I've had a couple of these for years and years
and years and years it's my go-to light it's the light that usually sits right
next to my bed it's been around the world with me I
couldn't be any happier with this light but is this the light that you need to
have well I asked my friend Bobby Knight to come in from Streamlight and I was
everything in the world about lights right yes sir okay to kind of step you
through what sort of products you might consider so Bobby this is a good light
this is a solid light yes Corp Ian is one of our trademark lights it's been
around for a long time like you mentioned it's gone through some
evolution but it is much much brighter now using the LED technology from
the original scorpion which was an incandescent light one of the cool
features is a non-slip grip that light and with the non-slip grip it also
doesn't transfer heat or cold and it gives you the ability to basically put
in your mouth and bite onto it if you need to go hands-free and we've all done
that we don't admit to it it's handy to have that option but you have a whole
range of lights that go from little to big and all of them can work for you
yeah and it's important to uh to train with the light that you carry I'll carry
everyday protac1AAA it's 70 lumens it's extremely small ones on one
triple-a battery and it wasn't very long as 70 lumens was a something you
know really pretty recently yes it is and this goes everywhere I go and
you know I also carry our new 1L 1AA so this is a little bit brighter it's
350 lumens on one lithium battery but when the cool features with this slide
is I can take the lithium battery out and put a double-a battery in here which
you can find anywhere in the world when you're traveling and it's 150 lumens
with one double a battery you've also got the big guy right yeah I've got a
flame thrower flamethrowers are always good
well if I can only have one light and it's gonna stay at my home or by my bed
or in my car this is a protac HL 4 it's 2,200 lumens
extremely bright um it runs on four lithium batteries but when the cool
features with this light is on low it run for 40 hours so it's a homeowner
whether you need that light to be very bright to search your house or search in
your yard if you have a power outage for multiple days you can have a light
they'll illuminate up to 40 hours so whether it's a small light big light or
wherever you have the light that you carry every day is a lot you should be
training with and make yourself aware that light did you have so in the middle
of night if you are startling you need to jump up and search your home you
you're not doing that for the very first time it's the worst time to learn isn't
it yes it's like I meant to use this but now I'm terrified and I wonder how it
works where's the button how is it gonna go where does it throw the light how
does it reference with my gun so practice practice practice and Bobby
let's go to the range and do that now sounds great thanks
Bobby I see you put the duty TLR6 on the trigger guard on this 1911 so what I'm
gonna do though is we're gonna just step through with a handheld light here just
a couple of positions the first and easiest I call it a cigar call it
whatever you want but that's the easiest way to shoot the gun so you've got just
a little pressure against it or you can roll over this is so favority with like
pv c-- z to see why you can even then go index here well you're basically single
hand shooting is a little little bit of light
you're gonna want to stay with us because we're shooting gallery returns
we've got lots more very bright information
