Crimson Trace weapon light

I posted this in deals but I thought I would put it here too. Optics Planet has the CMR-208 light on sale for $69.99 plus some additional coupon savings if you act soon. I ordered two.

I am betting that you are about to get a flood of posts telling you what a bad choice a light on a gun is.

Yeah, why would anyone possibly want to identify a target in the dark before shooting at it? Especially inside their house.

I have the CMR209 the only complaint I have is the paddles to turn it off and on are real easy to hit inadvertently. As a nightstand gun it's fine but transporting in a soft case you need to unscrew the end to stop it from turning on and killing the battery.

Because, it is alledged that you allow the bad guy to see just where you are at......many recommend holding the flashlght in the other hand and off to one side of your center of mass. go here:

I don’t think that will really make much difference in a hallway, which is the only place I would be using it. I’m not going to fool a burglar in a 3 foot wide space.

Obvious tangent into the pro/cons of having a weapon light aside, I like Crimson Trace lights so far. I have a CWL-102 light on one of my rifles and it works well for what I use it for. Nearly the same light you picked but instead of paddles it has a pressure switch tail out the end cap.

I have a Crimson Trace Railmaster Pro with light and green laser on my XD40.
I don’t really need the light but I like the laser.
