I had one and used it at a low-light/night vision class. It worked well at 50yds. Are you shooting indoors or close distances? Edit: I've toned down my rifle light setup to the Legacy-T head a few years back and recently switched to a Malkoff single cell head. |
| Why leave the optic on when your rifle is not on you or about to be immediately used? I leave mine off in the safes. There is no realistic scenario where you’ll need your rifle so quickly that you won’t have time to turn on the optic. If you’re in that scenario, layered defenses have failed or weren’t put into place. |

I’ve forgotten to turn optics on at the range and the probability of skipping steps under stress goes up not down. I think OP likes to post silly hot takes and is generally not to be taken seriously, but I agree with the general premise. |

I think OP likes to post silly hot takes and is generally not to be taken seriously, but I agree with the general premise. I keep my primary handgun and rifle in a fast action safe in my room. Kids, housekeepers in the house, etc…I want things secure but available. I’m more concerned about a dead battery than I am about forgetting to turn on my optic. We don’t live in Mogadishu, we live in America. That’s just my opinion, not gospel. It works for me. |

I’ve *needed* a gun very few times, but every time I needed one, I’d have rathered have it out and running sooner than later. I think that’s always true. Outside that I agree with the rest though, but I use different stuff. Mine has a 1-6 Razor with an RMR. My RMR doesn’t die fast, and it’s not hard to swap batteries once a year. If it did the Razor still works. Plus I don’t have small kids running around. If I did I wouldn’t have the rifle as out and ready to fire in the first place. Until they reach a certain age I’d be far more worried about them hurting themselves with it than the (albeit valuable) seconds lost getting it up and running. |

I’d certainly wager a rifle is needed more in Africa than here. But, I do keep a rifle ready. And I travel with a carbine and my carry handgun when driving. I have kids and therefore keep things locked up but readily accessible. |
