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. Of course, once the Lightguards were turned on, the targets were much more identifiable and my shots began drilling the center-of-mass once again.
The Crimson Trace Lightguard mounts around the trigger guard under the barrel, similar to the Laserguard, and is very powerful considering its small, lightweight size. Our first exposure to the Lightguard was a very basic shoot-and-move drill. At the instructor’s command, we drew, fired two rounds center-of-mass, let the light go out and took one step to the side. The instant-on of the Lightguard was great for lighting up the target, but releasing the grip to let the light go out took a little longer to master, but I'm talking minutes, not hours.
