WML, not just no but hell no. I say this for police and civilians. I do not hold the same view for high speed units, that are high;y trained. I will say if your SWAT team is made up of ex military special ops folks then this will also not apply to them.
HOWEVER if your SWAT team is guys without a special ops military back ground I will also say no WML on pistols.
I have have seen this from all sides being a former member of one of the worlds Tier 1 and also been a deputy in the USA.
I love cops, but let's be honest about the majority of cops, not highly trained and we can be a little lazy.
Cops if they have a WML on their pistol will for the most part not carry a hand held light. So if they need a light they will use the one on the pistol. What happened to not pointing your pistol in a safe direction all the time.
Civilians the typical gun fight stats have not changed in the USA, to the best of my knowledge in the last 40 plus years. 3 yards, 3 shots, 3 seconds. Your up close and you will see the threat and respond to it. You will not need a light.
WML on pistols is an accident waiting to happen. The other part of it, is without night training enough to make it part of your muscle memory will it even be used?
