Which flashlight technique is associated with the Harries method?

• A. AYOOB
• B. Harries
• C. Surefire/Rogers
• D. Neck index

Answer: (B)

The Harries method is a two-handed flashlight technique that places the light in the support hand and shines it forward, with the beam coming from under the firearm. You grip the pistol with both hands, but the flashlight is held in the non-dominant hand and carried beneath the gun so the beam illuminates the target along your line of sight. This arrangement helps you maintain a stable two-handed grip while quickly lighting up the area in front of you, which is why this technique is specifically associated with the Harries name.

Other named techniques describe different light placements or grip styles, so they’re distinct from Harries even though they also involve using a flashlight with a handgun.
