Wisconsin Law Enforcement Standards Board (LESB) Phase 2 Practice Exam

The technique being described is Harries. In this approach the flashlight is held in the support hand and positioned so the light sits under the strong-side forearm, allowing the flashlight and the firearm to function as a single unit. The strong hand maintains the gun’s grip while the support hand guides and aligns the light toward the target, giving you a stable, two-handed control with illumination fixed on what you’re aiming at. This setup helps with recoil management, faster target acquisition, and keeping the light consistently illuminating the threat without compromising weapon control. Other names refer to different light-handling or shooting stances, but they don’t lock the light to the weapon in this integrated way.
