I’d Rather Have An Optic Than A Light!
Johnny Q, a former law enforcement officer, argues for prioritizing optics over weapon-mounted lights for civilian Everyday Carry (EDC). He demonstrates how an optic like the Trijicon SRO on his Glock 19 Gen 5 significantly improves target acquisition and accuracy at common distances, especially for daytime use. While acknowledging the utility of lights for night operations, he emphasizes that for most civilians, an optic offers a greater performance advantage in typical EDC scenarios.
