Okay I know we have several people here that carry a tactical flashlight regularly. Everything from the big lights to the smaller more compact flashlights. In IRT the tactical flashlight falls right into the blunt tool category. I regularly train with mine to familiarize myself with it and the possiblities where it might be employed. I like to train using it in the palm to augment striking, pressure nerve points and tactical blinding techniques. I prefer a smaller pentagonlight that is functional and yet not too noticeable. There are alot of good manufacturers out there.
Tactical flashlight techniques have helped me in some pretty hairy experiences in the past. One of the true advantages of having a flashlight is being able to momentarily take someones night vision away from them. This is used in military, police, security, civilian fields all the time and can really provide a huge advantage.
So what do you train and how do you employ your tactical flashlight?
