Suppressors, Weapon Lights, and Why Your Home Defense Gun Needs a Light | Gun Talk Nation
6/3/202633 min
Are you carrying a weapon light — or are you betting your life on muzzle flash? SureFire's Andrew Wright joins Ryan Gresham to break down everything from military-grade suppressor durability and the truth about round counts, to why compact carry guns now have zero excuse to run without a light. Plus, the candela vs. lumens debate, the flat EDC light revolution, and what's coming next from one of the most trusted names in tactical lighting.
This Gun Talk Nation is brought to you by FN Firearms, MTM Case-Gard, Silencer Central, Archon Firearms, and Range Ready Studios.
