    Please help me find a perfect tactical (not tacticool) light.

    Yes, you can. I'm using low, med, and high as it gives me more control of battery management. It does depend on your use.

    Please help me find a perfect tactical (not tacticool) light.

    I have been pretty happy with the Streamlight pollyTac X. I'm an aircraft flight mechanic so it does depend on your particular use. It's very grippy and the rechargeable battery doesn't just "go out" but drops off as the battery loses power. And you can use primaries if you like. Comes on in...

    The Malkoff Front Porch

    The M30 came in a Surefire 6P and surprisingly wasn't blown. I'm using a KP18350 3.7V with no problems so far. The primary cells will work in the MD1 as well but they are a little skinny.

    The Malkoff Front Porch

    I used a Malkoff M30 with a hi-low ring in my MD1. It was a surprise/bonus drop-in that came with another light.

    brightest single AA alkaline flashlight

    I haven't read thru the whole thread and it may have already been mentioned. But for someone wanting to play around with different single cells the Streamlight 1L-1AA is pretty versatile.

    Surefire C3 E-Bay listing question

    Great info thank you. I picked up a 6P Defender body also with no Pat # and was always suspicious. Now I know its the real deal as well.

    Surefire C3 E-Bay listing question

    Interesting and I seem to be attracted to all things 3 cell. Looks a little new and no US Pat numbers. Real or fake? https://www.ebay.com/itm/256446360922
