    Why the dislike for LED LENSER?

    Correct me if I am mistaken, but don't NiMh batteries run higher voltage under load than alkalines? My experience with these DD 3 and 4 cell lights has been much brighter performance with NiMh than alkalines because of the voltage sag of alkalines. In addition, regulation isn't really needed...

    SureFire, high price and low lumens

    :welcome: Rasto. This is debated ad nauseum. I recommend using the google search box for CPF above/left and you will find more debate than you can shake a stick at regarding SF vs *any other light here*

    Elzetta- The industry's best kept secret.

    Anyone know if the tape switches for the Elzetta's fit the Malkoff MD series? I was going to play around a little with legoing lights for my carbine and I noticed Elzetta makes a switch, and Malkoff doesn't (but lots of people have them on their ARs).

    Why are surefire prices down so much?

    Maybe the smaller more common lights are les, but their high end weapon lights, foregrips, suppressors, and AR magazines are just as expensive as ever. Maybe they are trying to unload the lower end stuff for the new, or maybe they are just opening up to a new market with the real professional...

    Extremebeam SWAT model

    OK, their ads have been up top for a while now, so I bit and clicked...Their lights look like a lot of other no name lights, but I was curious so I looked at the SWAT and Blackbird models a little closer. Not to sure from the photos, but the description seems to say both are adjustable beams...

    Has anyone ever used strobe mode?

    Just my $.05 (I always like to get change :whistle:) as a LEO: I have found strobe useful, but not "tactical" useful. I have found (and yes, I have dynamic entry training, have been in lethal situations in dark rooms, and have confronted numerous intoxicated under the influence suspects, it's...

    SHOT Show 2012: Surefire 'New Products'

    Re: SureFire DM2 Defender 500 Lumen Programmable Flashlight I like the "plastic" lenses for working lights. I "" plastic because obviously *fire lights wont use the same type of material as say Streamlight. The type of plastic is important and many are very scratch resistant (most of my...

    Oveready L1 vs L3

    Thanks, I already have an MD3 body and switch, I was just wondering if it would work. A better option for me would be to buy a new body and switch (and people complain that Malkoffs are expensive...:whistle:). I was just over at the Malkoff M91 thread and am trying to decide which to get. I...

    Oveready L1 vs L3

    Sorry, I'm a dummy:stupid:. one level vs 3...got it. Other questions still stand about compatibility. Also, anyone have any opinions or experiences with reliability vs other high end lights such as Malkoffs, Peak, or Surefire?

    Oveready L1 vs L3

    The L3 appears to have more features (like soft switching of modes and more options for them), but is there any output/beam difference between them? They both appear to have the same lumens (per Oveready's site) and appear to have the same optics (just looking at the photos). Other than the...

    Multiple smaller batteries ?

    Well said! :whistle: If you are like me and prefer things "dumbed down" a little, I agree it is just a way of making an inexpensive light (little to no electronics as most LEDs need the 4.5 volts before current sag) that you can get batteries for anywhere. Like a kitchen drawer light for the...

    Police Officer Backup Flashlight Question/Comparison - Strion LED HP vs Polystinger

    Depending on where you work (rural vs urban) I may stay away from the HP heads for regular duty use. They do throw well, but the overall spill suffers considerably, making it not a very good choice for t-stops and foot chases. The Strion regular head has pretty good throw so the HP head really...

    New Inforce weapon light

    Really, never seen them used like that in a LE setting...ever. I suppose it may work, but you would have to get the tape switch adapter (added cost). No one uses that combo that I've seen in CA, and I go to COPSWEST every year. Not to sure how you would operate the switch either as it is a two...

    New Inforce weapon light

    The X300 isn't really an option here. That is a pistol light. The "M" lights are for rifles and sub-machine guns like the SCAR, M4, ACR, and M16s.
