This video from Guns & Ammo highlights the critical role of illumination in home defense. It details the advantages of pistol-mounted lights for maintaining a two-handed grip and recoil control, and then demonstrates four distinct handheld flashlight techniques: Harry's Technique, Syringe Technique, FBI Method, and Neck/Cheek Index. The instructor emphasizes the importance of choosing the right technique based on the specific tactical situation to ensure positive threat identification before engaging.

This video demonstrates the 'slicing the pie' room clearing technique for home defense scenarios. It emphasizes the advantages of a pistol-mounted light for illumination and maintaining a free hand. The instruction covers approaching and opening doors, systematically scanning the room with small, controlled movements, and issuing verbal commands when appropriate, while also addressing immediate threats.

This video provides an in-field review of the Olight Valkyrie Mini 2 weapon light mounted on a Zigana PX9 pistol. The reviewer highlights the light's compact size, ease of attachment via a throw lever, and its suitability for close-range illumination. While acknowledging its limitations in throw distance compared to larger lights, it's recommended for its cost-effectiveness and quality for its intended purpose.

This video details a rigorous durability and zero retention test of the Rovyvon GL4 Pro Defense Distributors Edition. The reviewer subjected the device to significant recoil from 9mm and 12-gauge firearms, direct muzzle blast from a compensated pistol, and physical abuse including rock bashing and simulated grenade blasts. The GL4 Pro demonstrated impressive resilience, maintaining zero and functionality throughout the extreme testing, making it a potentially robust option for handgun-mounted IR and visible laser applications.

This video analyzes a use-of-force incident in Casper, Wyoming, where officers encountered a felon in possession of a firearm. The analysis focuses on the tactical decisions made during a low-light confrontation, including the use of handheld and mounted lights, and the importance of transitioning to a two-handed grip on the firearm when facing a deadly threat. The incident highlights the risks associated with being a prohibited person carrying a firearm and the critical need for law enforcement training in low-light scenarios.

The Brass Facts review of the GL4 Pro laser aiming module highlights its quad-functionality (Visible Laser, IR Laser, IR Illuminator, White Light) and innovative front-access battery compartment. However, significant drawbacks include a non-tactile mode selector, a sensitive QD mount prone to zero shift, and an IR illuminator that is overly flood-like, causing self-blinding and limited effective range. The white light is considered mediocre.

This video from Active Self Protection, hosted by John Correia and Mike Willever, analyzes a critical incident where officers on a routine stop were attacked by a man wielding a pipe. The hosts, drawing on extensive experience, break down the officer's response, the effectiveness of less-lethal options, and the justification of deadly force. They emphasize situational awareness, the importance of proper tool deployment, and the rapid mindset shift required in law enforcement.

This review of the Streamlight TLR-VIR2 highlights its function as a combined IR illuminator and laser designator, primarily intended for pistol use. While it offers a budget-friendly entry into IR capabilities, its performance, particularly the illuminator's weakness and potential mounting/zeroing issues, makes it less suitable for long guns. The IR laser designator is deemed effective at close range, comparable to civilian-legal options from Holosun and DBAL.

This review covers the Streamlight TLR-VIR II, a weapon-mounted light featuring both visible white light and infrared (IR) illumination with an IR laser. The presenter details its operation, including intermittent and constant modes, IR laser adjustments, and mode selection. Experiences from training courses and range comparisons with other lights like the SureFire X400 Vampire are shared, highlighting its performance at various distances and its value proposition for those entering night vision operations.

This video provides an in-depth review of the Streamlight TLR-1 HL 1000-lumen weapon light. The instructor highlights its balance of hotspot and spill, making it suitable for close-quarters engagements and positive target identification. Durability, price point, and performance are discussed, with comparisons to other lights and practical low-light demonstrations.

This guide details the process of zeroing and utilizing pistol-mounted infrared (IR) laser systems, as explained by Lucas Botkin of T.REX ARMS. It covers different types of IR devices, from 'half systems' lacking visible lasers to 'full systems' with both IR and visible lasers. The guide emphasizes the necessity of NVGs for zeroing and employing IR-only devices, discusses potential zeroing challenges, and compares IR lasers to the more versatile red dot sight and IR illuminator combination.
