I dont normally recommend NV for "Home Defense" as it takes time to put on, power up and focus along with getting your gear in the proper setting for the light level you are in.
I would highly recommend dedicated NV training to show you what you can and cannot get away with, there is a Greenline tactical NV class in GA later this year. |

Quoted:
Looking at TNV PVS-14 L3 GEN3 OMNI VIII monocle... What says you? Will be mounted on a Team Wendy LTP. Yeah, I know - Team Hillary, but it’s what I have and it’s still a good bump helmet. Onwards - Will there be ragrets if I don’t go WP Un-Filmed? Primary role will be Home Defense with both Pistol and Rifle. Obviously I’ll be doing some exercises with it to get accustomed to it. What I’m concerned with is the inevitable bumps that’ll occur. 
That said, if you can scrape the extra bucks together, go with buy-once, cry-once and get WP. If that’s simply NOT possible, the GP Omni VIII is a shameless alternative. In most home invasions, there just isn’t enough time to get your NODs on, power up, get your gun, and go confront intruders. Just grab a handgun/rifle/shotgun with blinding white light and go. In close quarters you want maximum FOV and that 40* circle just ain’t enough. Engaging threats, especially in CQB, is hard enough under good visible light. It’s 100x harder under NODs. Defending your abode under NODs in the dark is highly inadvisable. Just my $0.02 in a world where pennies are worthless. |

I would think bright weapon lights would be much more ideal in home defense.

At my urban home, I use weapon lights. The ranch house, nods. A 10 minute discussion with the guys at TNVC put me on the right direction for the ranch optics.

On a related note, I got a coupon code from CS email when I asked about the arfcom discount. Is that a "hold on to that, it's the standard arfcom code" thing to reuse for future orders, or a one-time individually generated thing? Not going to post/share, just wondering if I need to email CS again if I make more orders. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Is the standard build time 2 - 3 months with TNVC? I'm looking at upgrading my nods. Going with either the DTNVG or RNVGs L3 WP.
Looking at taking a class in January, could still do my old set up, but it would be fun to use the new gear. Sorry for the thread hi-jack, but this would help with decision timing. |

Edit, we hope that continues becaue by the looks of our new life time housing warranty and 10 year tube from just new orders since the announcement a few days ago, our tube manufacturers are about to get pressed with substantial increases.

It’s a slightly loose fit but I think a little felt tape or Velcro loop tape would snug it up very well. The cap seems to seal very well. |
