Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a handheld or weapon-mounted flashlight for EDC?

John Lovell suggests that while carrying both is ideal, a handheld flashlight might be more practical for EDC. Comfort and consistency are key; if a weapon-mounted light makes your carry setup too bulky, you might not carry it, making a handheld option more reliable.

Why is comfort important for everyday carry (EDC) gear?

Comfort directly impacts consistency. If your EDC setup, like a handgun with a weapon-mounted light, is uncomfortable or bulky, you're less likely to carry it daily. Prioritizing comfort ensures you are armed and prepared when needed.

What is the best flashlight for self-defense?

The 'best' flashlight for self-defense depends on your carry method. For EDC, a comfortable handheld flashlight that you'll consistently carry might be more effective than a weapon-mounted light that adds bulk and reduces carry frequency.
