What light on a AR? - Rodney - 06-22-2014
What light do you have on your AR?
Sorry, wrong section. Mod please move.

Mine is plain Jane. No lights - No optics.

I have an Inforce APL made for pistols. It has a great output and is nice and slim profile. It will also fit on any standard quad rail on yoir rifle. Give Inforce a look. They also make rifle dedicated light.

Lights? Nah, I don't want to be the target. Lights attract fire. Why negate home field advantage? I have an EOTech 522 and Vortex magnifier (3x) on mine.

yeah, but he lives alone. Make it easier. In my case, i'd be hoping that my wife would be in our safe room.

"be sure of your target and what is beyond it" comes to mind. to each their own, I suppose.

Still, I can see a light on a handgun. But a rifle? Sorry, why do you need a light on a rifle? It's not good beyond say 30 feet, but it lights you up as a target for 2-300 yards. If you are interested in night fighting, a Thermal scope is best. In a house a light on a handgun could be useful. Save the rifle for daylight hours.

No lights on mine, just a simple reflex sight. Don't use it for home defense though.
As far as needing a light for home defense, I feel perfectly content with using a light switch. They would have already triggered the motion lights as well.
