The cops that came in and cleared the barn had nifty lights mounted on top of the barrel of their handguns... it was like a flashlight lighting up the dark, and it had a laser in the center of it.

Afternoon Hair, most lights/lasers are mounted under the barrel on the frame. If they had Glocks, probably a Glocklight. Newer Semi-autos seem all to have a rail on and the lights/lasers slide on and lock in place.

There’s a number of switch systems out there, some turn on at the light, others on the grip, some pulse. Lots of choices out there. It’s a lot easier than holding a flashlight in one hand and the gun in the other.

Don’t think they have a good system for our S & W revolvers though, it’s almost a semi-auto only game, and we don’t get to play if we shoot our classic revolvers. Same with classic Sig-Sauer or Colt 1911 or their clones. Still always a reason for getting another sidearm? Right?

Holysmokes... Well, that was interesting.

Yah, like osage said the lights were probably under the barrel. Neat things, though it does turn the holster into a great big confabulation if they keep them on there all the time.

I’m fixin’ta head down to the beach any second now. For some reason I got into cleaning-mode this morning at da rentalplace. And it got kinda out of hand. But I have to stop somewhere and I think this is it.

Such a crappy week. Still stuck in licensing hell, and it’s not going as well as I’d hoped. Ugh. Too much pressure.

Had a busy day today. We took thekids to a swim meet from 8:30-10:15. Thegirl and Theboy both swam IM, 25 Breast, and 25 Free...then we bugged out of there to go to a horse-show. Thegirl had two events, and did well. She had a little trouble at the end of the second event because she was nervous, but recovered nicely. She got first place ribbons and won $50...course she was the only one riding in the junior events, but hey...you take it when you can.:-)

It was a long day, but it's a fun part of watching your kids grow up. We can send anyone interested in riding pics a link to York...you'll just have to send me your email address.

G’nad and Mrsnad
