I'd love to use a weapon light, but as a non-LEO the liability is too much of a concern - I don't get to point my gun at people and then say, "nevermind". As such, a good ol' handheld flashlight works just dandy.
The other side of that coin is the liability associated with shooting the wrong person because you couldn't discriminate well enough in the dark....or having to make the hardest shot of your life with one hand because you're holding a flashlight in the other.
There's liability involved in all of it. I'd opt for the liability that also keeps me and everybody else the safest.
