Light: not while concealed. In an ideal world, yes, I'd like to have one but even a micro light would make appendix carry less comfortable and/or concealable. So I just carry my Novatac 120P.

Laser: I have a set of Lasergrips on every pistol I carry if Lasergrips are available. Simply put, there are things you can accomplish with a laser that you cannot accomplish without a laser. Those things may not be important to -- or understood by -- some folks, but once you've had some training and experience it's very hard to give up those advantages.

Light: I never have a gun mounted light on my carry gun, however I do keep one for the bedroom gun

Laser: Different story here. I have CTC laser grips on most of my carry guns (the primary two are a G19 & G23) and night sights on all except my Kahr CW9. As I get older, my eyes appreciate the lasers more and more!

I'm a big fan of both lights/lasers. On both of my G30SF's have Unimax Lasers (one red the other one is green), they mount on the Glock rail. My G21SF has a Lasermax internal red laser, and at night I attach my TLR Streamlight to the rail. I also keep a hand-held Mag Light on my night stand.

Yep. Having conversed with two gentlemen who carry concealed, non-civilian, on a regular basis, they converted me to the laser crew. It is a "backup" to the traditional sight picture, and allows shooting something from angles where you may not be able to align the irons.

I put a laser on a S&W 637 for my wife...she doesn't use it.
No lights of lasers on my pistolas...just night sights.

Nope, no lasers, lights or night sights for me on my EDCs.

If I can't see what it is that I am shooting, I am not going to be pulling the trigger. There are no distances in my house that I can't point shoot effectively, so actually sights probably aren't even needed while inside at night in my case.

My EDC becomes my HD gun after dark...the G23 gets a Surefire X200 on it which I keep laying on the night stand, next to the secondary light source, a SureFire E1L EDC...I just carry the gun and my E1L...with night sights.

Never cared for lasers and don't find them a necessity. I have mepro's and a nice 150 lumen flashlight.

You got it.

Like I said the wife is into the laser thing. She seems to think the bad guy is just gonna crap his pants when he sees the laser on his torso.

I say that isnt going to be an issue for him.
