This ^On some yes, and some no. Summertime EDC is smaller for reduced weight and easier concealment in lightweight clothing and does not have a light. Wintertime EDC is larger since the extra weight and bulk is not an issue and has a light.
All carry methods require some degree of compromise for comfort , it also helps to make sure you have a little extra room in your pants. I have not found a perfect method of concealing a handgun for all clothing types and situations. Carrying a large lump inside your drawers isn’t natural or comfortable. I’ve been able to find a few different options that work ok for me for different guns based on clothing I’m wearing. A good belt is as important as the holster, so far the most comfortable are the IWB holsters with leather up against your body - hard plastic isn’t very comfortable for me.The size of the IWB holster was kinda what I was thinking about. There might not be much size difference between WML or no WML but I thought that it may be enough difference for me to consider one way versus the other. It just seems that my body proportions aren't exactly configured for IWB carry ?🤔
What are you a ninja or something? Under what circumstances will you be sneaking around away from home (assuming EDC out of the house)?Yes, I run TL-7s and TL-1s along with Trijicon and Sig red dots. But be very careful using a flashlight on a weapon as it does tell everyone where you are.
I spend a lot of time at my cabin, which doesn’t have electricity. I’m so far up in the woods that you have to pipe in sunshine. We also get some very questionable characters wondering up our road. It’s nice to have a light with a gun attached to it sometimes, just for shits and giggLes. I also usu carry a PVS14.What are you a ninja or something?

Mine has nothing to do with looking cool. It has a use, and I practice with mine , getting it out of the holster a couple times a week. I’m around my barn in the dark, around my cabin in the dark, sometimes late on the lake and come in after dark, so the need is there and with the smaller lights, they’ve never hung up on anything. And in today’s world, I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Just my .02.I have nothing extra hanging on my EDC. Just more stuff to snag, add weight, add bulk, and potentially fail. In the event I ever need to use it, looking Tacti-Cool is something I'm not concerned with.

“Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction “
Hand held light. I wouldn't want to be pointing a "loaded flashlight" at a family member coming out of the bathroom.What about, “Always be sure of your target”?
You cannot do that, in the dark, without some form of illumination and/or NVDs.
I have nothing against weapon lights, I am not a fan of using a handgun as a flashlight. Needlessly flagging the world just because you don’t want to carry a flashlight is just lazy and dangerous.What about, “Always be sure of your target”?

Used properly, it's in the holster until it's time to start shooting, so that doesn't work for me.Provided you have a good WML, when used properly, you do not have to put the light on the target / point the weapon directly at the target in order to identify it.
