Streamlight TLR-2G

I remember 1973 well. I had this former-professional-football-player-turned biology teacher who put a snake in a cheerleader’s purse one day. She shrieked, jumped from her seat, raised imaginary pompoms and cried, “Yeah team, fight, fight, fight.” The snake was unimpressed, but the display burned into my brain the power of autonomic reflexes, muscle memory, and I never missed another of my high school’s football games.

Crimson Trace Lightguard

After the sun went down, the Crimson Trace Lightquards came out, but not before we conducted several shooting strings without lights or lasers in fairly dark conditions. Considering my abysmal night vision—there is a reason why I always carry a flashlight—I discovered that I am a much better shot in low-light situations than I ever would have thought. Even though I couldn’t use the sights and could only see an outline of the target, I was able to keep the majority of my shots in the center-of-mass ring at 7 yards.
