    Law enforcement duty belt, what do you carry?

    Sometimes brand loyalty has very good reasoning behind it. I have been a cop for a few years now and have carried a few different brands of flashlight (streamlight, Fenix, Surefire, etc) but I keep coming back to Surefire. The reason is their customer service and the quality and design that go...

    Whats the worse thing you've done to your flashlight(as in neglect/abuse)

    Used my TK11 as a headlight on my snowblower for two seasons (so far). Its been duct taped to the handlebars for 2 years and been through numerous blizzards and still going strong. Lost a SF L4 once out in the woods. It went through a whole winter out there in the snow and ice and I found it...

    Surefire 6R with B65 - dirty inside - how to clean? Tips appreciated [Pic heavy]

    Before you get too excited with a file or sandpaper I would look around and see what an old 6p is going for in that condition. A collector of surefire lights may be interested in a trade of some sort to have an original 6p like that, even in its condition.

    What do LEOs in your area use?

    I currently carry a SF M3 with Lumensfactory hola and 17500's on my belt, a SF Lx2 in my back pocket and an Insight XTI Procyon weaponlight. I also have a streamlight Ultrastinger in my patrol bag along with a SF C2 with an M60w in it. Other guys in my department carry streamlight stingers...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Today I used my Surefire LX2 to see if there was coffee in the headphone port of my Iphone.

    The Flashaholic's "Must-Have" List -- Cast your vote! PART 2

    Captain Spaulding, Sorry for the rambling post, 1. Arc AAA 2. 3D Maglite 3. SF M3 4. SF 6p 5. SF E2 6. Nitecore D10 7. SF LX2 Works for me. I wish i could vote for more. There are so many lights that I feel are of historic significance to Flashaholics.

    Surefire M3

    I will look into those. I've been waiting for sf to make their 4 die regular heads but they are really dragging their feet!

    Why Does A Flashlight Have To Look Good ?

    I have to agree with you and want to say that I personally find minimalist lights attractive. The fewer the features the better in my opinion. Any more than two modes and I lose interest. I prefer knurling to the now popular ribs and prefer the old surefire style momentary switches to click...

    The Flashaholic's "Must-Have" List -- Cast your vote! PART 2

    My choices may date me slightly, but Ive been a member of this forum off and on since 02 and I remember some of the lights that really started this whole "flashaholic" thing and I feel that some of those lights deserve to be on that list. Shockingly absent from the top ten lights is the Arc...

    When did you learn you were a flashaholic?

    Ive loved flashlights ever since my dad gave me a Maglight 2AAA one day that he had gotten from a salesman at work. It was anodized gold and came in a plastic gift case with batteries and a pocket clip. I carried that light everywhere for years until streamlight came out with the stylus (also...

    Surefire M3

    The M3 is one of my favorite lights of all time. I'm sad that SF is discontinuing it and doesn't have an equivalent LED replacement yet. I love the design of the body and the length is just perfect, its just long enough that you can put it under your arm if you need to, and just short enough...
