I can see its use in LE or Security but to your point, if someone is in my home my gun is already out and strobe is not in the equation.Sn3aKyGuY said:I use a flashlight at work that is capable of temp. blinding someone in full on or strobe mode. It's great for situations where you have a non-compliant threat that is unarmed. As a security officer, I don't have any more rights to use a weapon than a normal citizen so it comes in handy when I know drawing my weapon is excessive. The only up side to the strobe mode, though, is it makes the pupils fluctuate making the effect last a few seconds longer. As it's been stated above, they don't really have a use on a weapon outside of law enforcement. If you, as a civilian, draw your weapon, you better use it ... and be in the right to do so!

Ok now another question, what type of light were you planning on using?tonygu said:on the feed tube. but i'm not sure there is enough room. i know there's plenty of room on the 20" 9-shots, but i would like to get the shorter 6-shot model if it is possible to get a decent mount. what do you think? thanks....tony
