At 3 AM You Are Awaken By Sounds Outside Your Door... What Light Do You Want?

[glockboy]

Streamlight TLR-1.:D

 

[cue003]

Polarion PH-50. :)

 

[m3m4]

SUREFIRE M6 w/ MN 21 :cool:

 

[Illum]

Well, if I wasn't carrying an AK-47 in my bathrobe, I'd go for ...

You remind me of someone I used to know who cut a consealed door in the roof overhang outside his front door and using "borderline civil" methods to discourage marketers

Met him at a formal gathering...he was a beekeeper
:ooo:

but being on topic, M6-1185
But like guns, identify your taret before engaging. As once I've had cops on the front door reporting for a case of domestic violence. I live at 3405 xxxxx xxxx Trail, the call was from 3405 xxxxx xxxx Blvd, just a couple streets north. it happened to be at 1AM

 

[ackbar]

I usually have my LF5XT on me at all times but I'd be reaching for my Mag85. Bright and could also double as a club. Too bad it is such a PITA to own firearms in Canada :(

 

[csshih]

polarion for the win.
too bad I don't have one.

ouch, illum.
wonder how well the marketers liked them.

 

[RobertM]

Glock 19 with attached Glock GTL10 weapon-light. :devil:
I'd probably have my A2-RD with me too as a backup and for low-light, stealth navigation.

[gsxrac]

But then again, I wouldn't want to lose the element of surprise for my grenade launcher.
:tinfoil:

Id probably go with my M20 since its always on me or beside my bed ;)

 

[carbine15]

This should work.

 

[jusval]

2 Rottweilers trained to tear off body parts..... Just for Fun........

After the perp comes inside......


That way he can't crawl back out. I don't even bother waking up till I hear the screams..:nana:

No one comes to my door...................... ever.......

I Like it that way.

 

[tx101]

Easy .... SF M6 + LF HO-M6R

 

[nitesky]

Tough question. Ideally I would like whatever lights the local law enforcement officers carry, preferably said lights being in the hands of said officers.

Otherwise, for something short of an obvious threat or break-in attempt, anything relatively bright. Mag 3D with 4C option, lantern with a ROP Lo bulb, etc., depending how far I think I need to see.

This is a scenario of investigating vs. calling for help and hunkering down.

 

[crocodilo]

Yup, two lights for the job: porch lights and muzzle flash!

 

[Sub_Umbra]

Easy for me. I'd grab my M/\G 3C host w/Cyan Lux III and UCL to have in my hand if I decided to turn it on -- that's just the kind of use I had it built for.

 

[Lee1959]

If I need a light I will grab my Inova T1 which sits right beside my .45 in the bedside table, neither will be needed if I look out the peephole and it is a friend. The door won't be opened if it is not, but I will gladly phone for the police to help them, since they are visiting at 3:00am they definitly mustneed help . The light and .45 are only in case they get overly anxious for help and try to force me to call.

 

[Long RunTime]

Which lights do that with a very low low. I have an LD10 but the low is around 10 lumens and a bit more than I would like.

[quokked]

What do you guys have to say?

6D mag. I'm in Australia after all :wave: guns are a *little* bit harder to get here than over there in America and even pepper spray/tazers are pretty much unobtainium.

 

[depusm12]

For things that go bump in the night I grab my Insight Typhoon 2/ or my SF M3 and my Rock Island Armory compact 1911 in 45 ACP.

 

[Mercaptan]

I say any light with an acute lead delivery system, ranging from 55 grains to 1 oz., would be sufficient.

Granted the last time I had a noise outside I pulled a 'Gran Torino' and wandered outside to see my mailbox being bashed with bats by idiots in a jeep. By pulling a 'Gran Torino' I mean my trust ole' M1 was the closest thing to me, with some Lake City M2 ball. I have since learned from that, five years ago.

 

[Flying Turtle]

I'd make sure the deadbolt was thrown, hit the outside light, and go to a dark window to see what's happening. Probably have the L1 in my hand, too.
