In basic terms put the light next to your head, eye level in the weak hand. When you work the light you essentially flash through the front sight into your target. Thus, you get a good sight picture with or without night sights. Another reason that I prefer this method is that with every other technique, I would often turn on my light and find it illuminating the ground in front of the target area. The Good technique puts the light right on track with your eyes. It is a very simple, fast, and safe (no chance of crossing your weak hand in front of the muzzle) method. In my opinion, it is the easiest method to master and offers the best sight picture.
