    CZ P-10 S with a Baldor S mounted underneath.

    WML = Weapon Mounted Light, which in my opinion is a MUST for your EDC

    I am very much opposed to weapon mounted lights on pistols because in use the gun points everywhere and at everything the light does. Now if you are SEAL Team 6 or the HRT then maybe that's a good thing, but otherwise, you are pointing a firearm at a lot of things you don't want to destroy and violating the first rule of Firearms safety. If you have a shaky shooting with said pistol/light, a prosecutor can belabor that point and your defense attorney will have his or her work cut out for them. You better be able to point to a stack of training certificates showing that some responsible agency trained you in the use of "WML." Unless, of course, you look good in orange.

    I daily a G17 with a light, the holster I chose is a Kydex MK-TEK

    I was real disappointed the first time I Holstered my gun without the light, seems that the light is where all the retention is based just flopped in there without it. But I can put that light on a smaller gun and it fits in the holster well.

    If you use a wml unsafely then I agree you have no business using it. And I feel if anything the light would help your case in self defense as you would be able to say with the light you were able to clearly identify the threat. I would much rather have a light than be shooting at shadows in the dark.

    Yeah, that's what I've noticed too. The light becomes the tight spot for retention, which makes sense

    You hold the flashlight in your off hand and the pistol in your strong hand pointed in a safe direction. The point being they are separate so you aren't covering everything you see.
