I touched on this in the Wisconsin forums. I have a full size Smith and Wesson M&P .45 that I primarily use as a home defense and range gun. I also have a TLR-2 mounted on it for HD purposes. I'd like to get a holster.
My question is that if I decide to open carry the weapon, should I take the light off and get a "regular" holster, or should I leave the light on and get a holster that accomodates the light?
I'm kind of leaning towards getting a holster with a light provision, because I'm thinking thatsince it is primarily a HD gun, when I go to the range I would want to practice with the light system on and become as proficient as I can with the gun/light combo.
On the other hand, we're talking added weight and "clumsiness" if I carry with the light attached.
I'm not sure which way to go. Looking for opinions.
Thanks!
