Surefire 9P w/ P90
It's the closest thing I've found to the perfect flashlight. I can use rechargeable or primary cells with similar runtimes. The form factor is excellent, filling the hand fully and comfortably while remaining pocketable. And the beam profile is nothing short of phenomenal, with an oval shaped hotspot and generous spill.
I owned Surefire 3-cell hosts for over three years before I really discovered the P90. As a host for the P90, the C3 is also very good, but the 9P feels a little better in my hand.
