At 0130 my wife woke me up. There was some noise outside that she thought was coming from the kitchen.
Nothing spectacular to report really. I cleared the hall, she secured the kids (didn't even wake them up) in their room. I used my preplaned and practiced clearing.
Just a raccoon outside that got away. One thing I did learn is when you are just wokenup and you shine your light, it will be brighter than you remembered it being in practice lol.
Anyway I learned real quick that the nightsight I put on a couple weeks ago is worthless. I wanted a regular steel one but the funstore only had the oldfangled glowing one. Never helped identify the target and 120 lumens of light canceled it out anyway when I lit the kitchen up and check the yard. It was more dark than I thought it would be too.
I would have to say that the light was of more use than the G37 with the glowy thing on it.
All I really learned was the wife did her part perfect like in practice without even the need to remind her and it was more dark than I thought it would be when I am looking for targets. My light also lit the room up like it was day time..
Only change I am going to make is a night light in the hall that can have the light directed down the hall so I can see atleast a shadow or outline of a possible threat..
