How do you hold a flashlight and work the action on your pistol at the same time? What about light discipline? What about preserving night vision? What if you don't have a light?Originally Posted by robbins290

Your mouth

Then I guess it's just not your day.

Exactly. I have red lenses for all my night ops.

There's no E on the end of LENS.
Mouth works, for some lights.
Red LENS helps with light discipline.
Red LENS helps with preserving night vision.
Red LENS greatly reduces candella on a flashlight.
Did you ever think you might be without a light, or the light may fail?
Press checks are retarded.

Sorry about the extra e. Seems like you enjoy argument. Good luck to you.

I'd bet the odds are greater for a failure to fire caused by a cartridge not fully chambering after a chamber peek than a LCI failing. Also, remember that the LCI is a backup confirmation to what the shooter already knows he did. I wouldn't consider someone to be a professional who needs both an LCI and chamber peek to confirm what he did.

I agree Bret, I do a brass check every morning to confirm the round is still in the chamber. Then it goes in the holster. And does not leave the holster until I go to bed. No need to do 18 million press checks every day. Same with the duty rifle. It gets chambered when I leave the house, and unchambered when I get home. again, no need for a press check.

Ensuring the gun went back into battery after a presscheck is easy-peasy-lemon-squeezey: just give the back of the slide a firm smack with your support hand.

AMENThe two loudest noises in the world are a bang when you expect a click and a click when you expect a bang and a two-second chamber check can prevent you from experiencing either.
It is not IF, It's WHEN.
Back when agencies still used revolvers, I was in a class at Texas DPS range.
On Monday of the 2nd week of a 2 week class, we were dryfiring, working on grip, stance and trigger control.
All of a sudden from the far end of the line was the loudest dryfire I ever heard.
Lt. Reeves Jungkind came out of his gunsmith shop and immediately turned left.
He knew exactly who the culprit was and needed no direction to him.
Lt. Jungkind grabbed took the violator by the arm, and uh, politely escorted him from HIS range.

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
but it's still on my list.

This reminds me of the tritium threads. Maybe my eyes are abnormally good, but I can see things just fine in the dark. Seeing brass in the chamber would not be an issue. If it was that dark, id stick a finger in there.... then start feeling my way out of wherever I was, or feeling for a light switch, haha.
Also, with glocks I can see a round in there without retracting the slide.
