KeeperSD, I am also in Queensland and am interested in the low light shooting methods which you speak of. Could you please elaborate/explain this to me?
Are you in the Police?
It is quite difficult to explain in words but i will give it my best go, it is nothing like what you would see in the movies. A rear tactical switch cannot be used with this shooting method where they use the fancy method of crossing hands and alike, looks good for the shows, works poorly under high stress as it uses fine motor skills and offers little support to the firing hand and also require you to think of both the aiming of the light as well as the firearm.
The QPS shooting method operates in a way that keeps two hands on the firearm whilst shooting. I am not sure if you have seen the normal light shooting method of the QPS? But again it is designed to work better the more stress that is applied as it relies on gross motor skills and indexing (i told you it is going to be difficult to explain). So the normal shooting grip has your shooting hand gripping the firearm in a normal fashion whilst your second hand cups the first and the thumb of the second running parallel to the slide of the firearm, the further you can get the thumb along the slide the better the method is. The thumb is used to index the firearm towards the target and hence reduce the time required to aim.
Now the low light method uses the dominant hand gripping the firearm in the same way whilst the non preferred hand used the pointer finger and the thumb to grip the torch and have it run parallel to the firearm. The button on the maglite is operated by the base of the thumb, whilst the remaining fingers are again cupped around the preferred hand on the grip of the pistol to keep the light close to the firearm and provide support and control to the shooting hand.
I had some pictures posted of the method but think it probably better to PM them to you if you want them
