Tactical Flashlights

Click here to see our selection of Tactical Flashlights.

Tactical flashlights are small lights that are mounted on the front of a firearm, whether it is a rifle or handgun, and allows a target to be illuminated at night, or other low light situations common in urban warfare and tactical situations. They are mounted parallel to the bore of the weapon, so where ever the gun points, the light will point as well. They are also good for blinding targets, disorienting them enough so that lethal force is not necessary.

Weapon mounted tactical flashlights offer hands free use, but must be built to more robust standards to handle the recoil of the firearm. Most of these lights are mounted on rifles and shotguns, but they are becoming more popular on handguns as well. They are generally more expensive because of their stronger construction and the mounting hardware required.

One disadvantage to a weapon mounted tactical flashlight is that the light is always aimed parallel to the bore, which means that anything that is being illuminated is also being targeted. Because of this, weapon mounted lights are not suitable in many situations because of the rules of engagement, which would consider that as an attack. Another disadvantage is that the beam of light gives away the position of the user.
