If you have enough ambient light to identify a threat, you do not need a light mounted on your handgun to engage it. If you need light to navigate your way, a small EDC flashlight is the ticket and indeed, that flashlight will scatter most cockroaches. You are not going to navigate your way through a dark alley, parking lot, or garage with your weapon-mounted light unless you are a moron looking for your jail cell. Weapon-mounted lights have their niche: On carbines and shotguns (one only has so many hands) and, while they should be mounted on pistols worn by uniformed duty personnel, they are just auxiliary lights and everyone should be carrying a hand-held light (w/a backup light) for general use. YMMV, but it seems a whole lot of people actually believe the latest marketing hype. Mae West said it best to Cary Grant in the movie, "She Done Him Wrong": "Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"
Congratulations, you have figured out what a WML is not used for.

I hope, by reason of deduction, you're smart enough to figure out what it is used for. I suspect you posted first and thought second (if at all).

Also: I can comfortably conceal a pistol with a WML at 3-4 o'clock either IWB or OWB - and I can do so without the WML, too. Hence the thread being about AIWB.
