Don’t know too many serious gun guys (Mil, Leo, Other..) that aren’t mad for flashlights.
The emergence of the LED as primary source has been the real tipping point. Not only do they deliver more and whiter light than incandescent bulbs, depending on circuitry, they provide epic battery life and options (high...low...strobe...SOS...rescue flash).
FENIX has several models using both CR123, and AA cells with good lumens and options
Streamlight has a great AA model with 130 lumens or so with High/strobe/low options
Favorite for “potential social intercourse” is still the safelight. 2xCR123, tail cap switch with intermittent or click on click off......press and hold in either on/off mode and it strobes. 120 lumens, great light.
Surefire is a “make the best deal you can” situation but their LED lights are good.
Sidearm, lights (yep, more than one), pepper spray, and blades.....and train with all of them.
Prayers for the families,
for the sheepdogs......
Stay Alert.
