    Don't mess with a light as I have the iphone if I really need to use a light. No speed strip or speed loader. Not looking to get into a running gun battle.

    Keep 'em coming. I like to see what you fellas think is necessary.

    I can't speak for others, but in my case the lights have little to do with self defense. They are for work. Yes I carry them when off work as well. It's just habit, but they come in handy all the time. I personally don't like the built in light on phones. They're terrible for lighting in tight spaces and to be honest, I don't really want to use a $1000+ phone for light while laying under a 35,000lb truck trying to find where it's leaking oil/coolant/trans or hydraulic fluid! Most of the lights I carry have magnetic bases and are very versatile for the type of work I do.

    Be honest, you only carry the 9mm because you can’t find the 10mm!

    I'm not man enough for the vaunted 10mm... but then again, neither was the FBI!

    Full frontal profile, for one reason. A semi wadcutter’s profile is not as large as a traditional target wadcutter. Secondly, I’m handicapped in such a short barreled revolver, so I need every edge I can get. A semi wadcutter would require velocity to expand. With my traditional target wadcutter I’m tilting the penetration/wound channel odds in my favor, hopefully.
    Being standard pressure means recoil isn’t horrible.
