Awesome post!

!!!AWESOME POST CABOCLO!!!

Your post hit me like a smack in the mouth. A sharp reminder that my training commonly misses the vital element of night shooting. I bet I'm not the only one.

For anyone really interested in defensive shooting night firing is a MUST. Most of us who keep a firearm at the bedside do it for things that go bump in the night. Is your flashlight there too? If you're not training to fight at night, then when do you expect the bad guys to come?

Caboclo's post reminds us all that when the lights go out, things are VERY different. The smoke that you don't notice much in the day or on a lighted range looks like thick fog when you put a flashlight on it, particularly a super bright "tactical" flashlight. There are other factors as well like the grip adjustments, and recoil recovery without that supporting hand; the muzzle blast and the way it all affects your night vision.

Thanks for the wake up call!
