Greetings,
Let me start by saying that I'm admittedly brand new to optics of any kind on handguns. However, I've recently purchased and installed a couple of different rail-mounted optic types for semi-autos, both of which are tac-light/laser combos, and I'm just curious . . . why does it appear that most law enforcement officials opt for a dedicated tac-light only, versus a tac-light/laser combo? This just seems kinda puzzling to me, and I'm hoping some law enforcement types might just chime in here.
Pricing between the two types of devices doesn't really seem to vary too much, and there are certainly tac-light/laser combos out there with perfectly bright (400+ lumens) of light, some that can even be charged via USB port rather than constantly changing batteries, so wouldn't you think the added laser would be a desirable feature for most? What am I missing here?
Many thanx!
