Do you have lasers and lights...

on your EDC weapon?

I dont and do not want any. Im just asking as this seems to be a discussion topic that comes up with friends who carry.

My wife wants a laser on her P11. I say its dumb but would put it on there for her.

EDIT: I figured it should be in weapons but I guess it could go in accessories...

Nope, no lights or lasers. Just a flashlight and nightsights on the pistola.

Not for my EDC gun. Lights would just be impractical, you are better off carrying a flashlight. I know that CT and lasermax are very popular as far as lasers go, but they are not for me.

I personally am a fan of having a weapon mounted light on your bedside gun, in addition to a separate flashlight.

Laser on my Duty gun - rail light close by but not on it all the time - some other officers have their rail light mounted all the time - I might if get a holster to accommodate it one day.

Gun mounted lights are not practical IMO for most CCW. I have CT Lasergrips/Laserguard on my S&W J Frame and Kahr PM9 bugs.

My M6 goes on the rail for my night time home defense choice. That may very well be the same pistol I've used for all day every day carry. But I do not use a light/laser on my carry pistol when I'm carrying.

Not on my EDC...but do have Lasermax on my J-Frame which I use as a BUG and then at night, laying on my night table, within easy arms reach, when I talk to my pillows..
