What grip uses a small flashlight held between the index and middle fingers?

The grip that uses a small flashlight held between the index and middle fingers is known as the watchman grip. This technique enables the shooter to maintain control of the firearm while also utilizing a light to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. By positioning a flashlight in this manner, the shooter can illuminate a target without sacrificing grip stability or the ability to manipulate the firearm effectively.

The watchman grip is particularly advantageous for law enforcement and security personnel who often find themselves in situations where visibility is compromised, and the dual-use of a firearm and light source becomes essential.

Other grips mentioned, such as the syringe grip and law enforcement grip, do not incorporate the flashlight in this specific way, focusing instead on different firearm handling techniques. The Ayoob grip, developed by self-defense expert Massad Ayoob, emphasizes a method of control over the firearm, but again, it does not specifically involve the use of a flashlight in the grip as the watchman grip does.
