For the basic bedside home defense pistol, THR and my LEO friends have talked me into getting a pistol mounted light. I do not feel I can accurately shoot and hold a light. No light = no target ID...so that is settled though there are good arguments pro and con the gun mounted light.
Next item is sights.
Laser? As in a streamlight TLR-2
OR
Trijicon type night sites which I assume would be needed to shoot in the dark even with the illumination of the light.
I have a S&W TRR8 (8 shot .357 with the rails) I like the sights on it now but I am willing to change them.
With the laser, once it is sighted in I assum you cannot take it on and off the gun and keep the accuracy...Is that correct??
If I had just a light I could take the light off to take the gun to the range.
Since I am just really learning how to shoot, having a laser just seems to change everything, and of course the laser could fail.
Anyone with experience offer some thoughts and point me in the direction of some good products (TLR-2 or some night sites if that makes more sense in my case?)
Thank you for advice!!
