My SIG 226ST has a rail - not used it yet - probably will not. I prefer a separate light. Not to mention hassles with holster issues!

I think there is a camp which likes ''tacticool'' - and so perhaps that has been promoted such that we see more of this in ad's etc.

I certainly am not over thrilled about utilizing a rail light simply to see what is going on - that is breaking rule #2 potentially any time it is tried - as we may not know if we have an aggressor or, someone friendly.

I'll stick with hand held light if needed - otherwise as said - my rail stays empty!

Laurence - that makes total sense.

I am not actually ''anti'' lights on rails - just that I would not have that set-up for carry. However looking at your situation then for HD it is very logical.
