Lights and lasers for guns are some of the most useful and sought-after firearm accessories today. Whether you’re looking to practice night shooting or prepare your home defense firearm for dark scenarios, lights for handguns and other firearms are a must-have.
Find Your Target with Lights and Lasers
Gun lights and lasers are useful accessories for home defense firearms, which may have to be fired in the dark during an emergency. However, lasers can be useful during most light conditions and can help improve accuracy and help you find and hold on to your target effectively.
Before purchasing a light or laser for your gun, ensure your firearm is equipped with a compatible mount. Check out our collection of mounting products and rail accessories if you don’t have mounting hardware on your firearm already.
Lights for Handguns and Long Arms
Wing Tactical offers a variety of light products for firearms of all types—handguns, AR platform rifles, and more. As you source a light product, make sure that it’s compatible with your rail system or accessories mounts. You should also read product specifications carefully to ensure your chosen light fits your configuration.
Gun Lasers
Lasers are particularly useful for personal defense handguns. When you need to discharge your weapon, you’ll need to find your target quickly and shoot accurately. A laser can help you do both. Ensure that your laser of choice fits your firearm’s configuration and is compatible with your rail system or accessories mounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a light on my home defense gun?
It is usually advisable to use weapon flashlights on home defense guns. This is because they allow for more positive threat identification, functioning as an additional layer of safety to ensure that force is only applied when necessary.
Are lasers worth it on pistols?
Lasers, specifically visible lasers, can be used to help aim pistols in unconventional shooting positions that are often found in close self-defense scenarios. This is especially true for small form handguns.
In the tactical/ LEO/MIL sphere, both visible and infrared lasers provide alternative aiming methods as backup sighting systems. This is predominantly used in conjunction with night vision (infrared lasers) and/or ballistic shields (visible and infrared lasers).
Is it better to have a laser or a flashlight on a gun?
While a gun laser is a niche attachment for most people, weapon flashlights add a tangible benefit to a firearm, especially in locations where there is very little ambient light or multiple lighting differences in a location. Both can bring useful capabilities to the base firearm, but it is better to prioritize a flashlight on a gun than a laser for the average end user.
