Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two main techniques for holding a handgun and flashlight together?

The two primary techniques demonstrated are the Harries-style grip, taught in police academies for weapon stabilization, and the FBI technique, which positions the flashlight away from the body for officer safety in low-light engagements.

Why is the FBI flashlight technique recommended for tactical situations?

The FBI technique positions the flashlight high and away from the body. The tactical reasoning is that a threat will likely aim for the light source, and keeping it distant minimizes the officer's exposure to being hit.
