A very large number of citizens who defend their life with a gun, do so in low light or night time conditions. Yet, due to range availability, most people practice and train in daylight. It’s a completely different world, shooting at night and incorporating a flashlight or weapon mounted light while shooting. It’s also tough to identify your target. This episode is about using lights, night sights, red dot optics and more, in low light and night time shooting.

1911 pistols have stood the test of time, no doubt. And it seems as though they are just as popular today, as they’ve ever been. Lately, they seem to be getting a bad rap, so this week, Jon Hodoway from Nighthawk Custom joins me to discuss 1911’s in general, and why they still remain an excellent concealed carry and combat pistol. We also spent some time discussing the recent mass shootings and what it means to those of us who carry a gun every day. Thank you for downloading and listening. Bob Mayne, Handgunworld Podcast
